Dude, you gotta look past the raw numbers. For his career he's a 12 PER and has been horribly inefficient (48TS%). Even when he was having a career year, it was a 13 PER and 50TS%. He was chucking on a bottom dweller team. He literally does nothing well. He's worth what he got paid.
Does nothing well??? Hes a very good rebounder and passer, and can arguably play 3 positions. Hes decent, nothing special, but he definitely deserved more than MLE $$$
I'll give you good rebounder. He dominates the ball which leads to his assist numbers. Lots of players have the ability to play multiple positions. And a lot of them don't do it efficiently, much like Turner. He's a turnover machine. He's getting paid exactly what he's worth. There's a reason teams aren't knocking down his door for his services.
I disagree. Not many players can legitamately play 3 positions effectively. Also, assist numbers have nothing to do with it, hes a good passer, period. Not to mention he solid defensively. He the definition of an average NBA player and average NBA players at his age get more than MLE $$$
