    Paul Allen should take this money and throw it in the air like confetti at the Moda center or build more strip clubs in the Portland area.

    What a waste.

    Why? Henderson played and averaged 20 mpg last year. Why can't Turner assume that role?

    Geez maybe there should be a suicide watch on Blazer fans cause this is getting to the point of being silly and absurd but i have had my say so i will stop trying to prevent this.

    If you feel a need to go nuts and over react and such do it but give Olshey a chance

    This is a better signing than people are realizing

    Legitimate 2 way player that can guard multiple positions and play multiple positions on offense. Pair him with CJ and Lillard and the Blazers have 3 above average ball handlers on the floor

    It's a better signing than Parsons at $22M. Parsons already failed to live up to his last contract. Dude is Hedo 2.0.

    I'd think Houston (makes sense from a skill standpoint), Dallas, and Utah were all looking at him.

    You can play a backcourt of Turner and Dame OR CJ OR Crabbe. Versatility.

    Shooting guards who can't shoot 3s are really on demand nowadays.
    I hear Curry is being traded for Elfrid Payton right now.

    The lakers got a free agent already. And he is on a better deal than the one we got.
    Turners deal is worse than mozgovs.

    Baze is 6'5.

    Turner is 6'7 and good at just about everything except shooting.

    Feel sorry for the all the season ticket holders who bought into the "we are building a championship team around Dame." It's literally a crock of shit. I hope we've learned our lesson. I'm never going to get snow over by the Blazers again. We have a franchise for the time being. Might as well enjoy it (while it lasts.) Thank God the Timbers can provide their fans with legitimate playoff contenders.

    Well, if we bring back Crabbe... I rather have Turner+Crabbe than Baze+Crabbe, just from a versatility perspective.

    Shoot me in the face and fuck me in the ass cheeks.

    I was so ready to laugh at the Lakers but we trounced them with an even worse deal.

    From reading some reports we apparently had to outbid the Knicks to get Turner.

    This screams of Aminu and/or Plumlee trade.
