Keeping the young team and letting them grow together while adding a versatile player who is in the same age range as our core... there are worse ways to succeed in the NBA.
Yeah, that comes with the whole dribbling thing. I just don't think that play-making from the wing was our most glaring weakness - between Crabbe and Harkless we had the SF covered. Now we have another SF who increases our play-making by a modest amount but is either a draw or downgrade at other facets of the game when compared to his counterparts. Olshey turned the "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" proverb on its head - we had two birds in our hand and went for a 3rd in the bushes.
Maybe our coaches feel like they can teach anyone how to shoot? If he was a good 3 point shooter than he'd be awesome... Maybe he pulls and Aminu and suddenly improves next year...
Regardless if he starts at SF like the tweet suggested......I still think he plays 24 minutes in the back court. Maybe 10-12 at SF. This hurts Harkless for sure. Crabbe we need because of his 3 pt shooting.
the only facet of the game Turner is a downgrade at is shooting, reading Boston fans they think he was much better at the 2 than 3, so IMO he a great fit playing with CJ and Dame so they can play off the ball and he can guard the bigger guards
What if Neil signed Turner just to trade him for Rudy Gay? that could be nice, not awesome, but nice.
This. I'm not down on Evan Turner. Price seems a bit high but He could be a good get for us. At the same time if Olshey is done I will be greatly disappointed.
Hrm, interesting. That must mean they're convinced someone is gone or want to make a trade or some sort. Oh well, I can only assume the worst, so I'm going to panic.
That was my concern. You got a guy who has basically only lived in Florida and Texas.....considering the move to Portland. They got in his head about the weather. Even thought the weather sucks in Memphis too.
