    The same reason I wanted him for the last 3 years. He is good and he fills a need.

    i am sorry i should have not made my feeling public but he used a racial slur in a previous post and that kind of ticked me off and now you saying you "appreciate @bull"

    OK -- i like the fact language is allowed to a degree but racial slurs are not needed no matter how much you do not like something

    Fills a need? How about the need of having a good outside shooter at the 3 to keep teams honest and unable to load up on Damian and CJ?

    Just add him to the long list of players we think are over paid. We knew that discussion would be coming this summer.

    A slasher who can finish in the lane and has the court vision to make the right passes will make teams pay for loading up on Dame and CJ.

    Apparently they've already assured Turner he's starting, so...

    So it's okay that you overpaid ET? I don't see how this is justified. He fills a hole sure but that hole isn't worth filling for 19 mill a year. Even if you predict or expect the Blazers signing someone for above market value, it doesn't make it a good move!

    It is a long game and a long season. There are minutes to around. I think we needed a third guard who was big.
    I guarantee he will play in the back court no matter who starts.

    It's not like this is a new discussion. We have been taking about Turner for a while.
