Meh
To the Portland Trailblazers for Evan Turner.
Never thought I would say this statement “I would rather have Evan Turner”. Bazemore and CJ can podcast together now.
Blazers needed scoring backup SG. Bazemore is decent, solid pickup.
Bazemore is whatever, but Evan Turner is one of the worst players in the league, shouldn't be in an NBA rotation anymore..good move..
I know ball handling is important but damn ATL. I wish SA would have got him for that price.
Bazemore is insurance for Rodney Hood leaving.
I would have given up a first for ATL to take Mills/Beli for Baze. Bet they would have done that too.
In fact, if ATL is looking for 1) A back up PG & 2) A vet that will be a positive influence on all the youth, I wonder if they would do Mills+Beli+1st for Evan Turner?
Nobody is doing mills for anything tbh
This. All the other destinations generate pressure to perform.
I think Houston would take him in a Paul trade as well as Minnesota in a Wiggins trade. There are worse contracts out there. That being said I wish we would trade mills and beli.
Great trade. ET sucks.
Why would you want that?
Easy. Turner has some size but really for his contract. It clears out some logjam with it being a 2 for 1. Then it also sheds Mills last 2 years of money which is huge.
Turner might be one of the rare guys in the league that is both a terrible fit next to Derozan and with everybody else when Demar sits.
I'm not opposed to sending out a 1st to dump Patty (I'd have done it for Bazemore for example) but if you're going to do that and still keep Demar/LMA on the team, you might as well do it for a guy that isn't a horrible fit on the remaining roster.
Mills, Belli AND A 1ST!!! for Evan ing Turner? Bro, do you even watch basketball anymore?![]()
Might not get cake and eat it too. If he sucks thats just more minutes for the youth with no loyalty to Turner and Mills/Beli
We both know Patty ain't getting moved, my dude. We should at least try to dream a little bigger than Evan ing Turner![]()
Yeah i was smh
I feel like ST got collectively more silly. It’s a salary dump. You aren’t trading Mills and getting a useful player. You are only getting an expiring deal at best.
Sorry you don’t love Turner; neither do I. But ATL needs leadership, a back up PG (why they traded for Turner) and has the ability to absorb Mills remaining years.
I don’t know what’s so hard to understand tbh..No matter who you dump Mills to, you are going to have to give up a first rounder; whether you get a player back or not.
Spurs
even the blazers improving by trading a scrub player...
