Evan Turner's jersey number

Didnt the Wolves give Greg Buckner the chance to wear #21 and he declined out of respect? I remember reading this and being pretty upset about it.

Was it Buckner or Wilkins?

Buckner, this was only months after KG was traded which is why I was so upset

LONDON -- Wolves newcomer Greg Buckner has worn No. 21 previously. But when the Wolves asked him if he’d like to wear No. 21 for them, he quickly turned the offer down and opted for No. 7. Celtics newcomer forward Kevin Garnett, a 10-time NBA All-Star, wore No. 21 in Minnesota. Buckner thought it would be insulting to wear Garnett's old number in Minnesota.

"That number will be retired," Buckner said.

This thread. This f***ing thread.

Why do people do stuff like this? In a situation where you have 70% chance to fail, and people were dancing around like it's a lock.
