    If he can get Mahinmi for 10 million or less. I think this offseason was a success. It's not like we would need mahinmi to play huge minutes. Just protect the paint and make the other team play a little bit out of their comfort zone. We don't really have a center that can do that. On paper, we look like an amazing small ball squad.

    Turners salary would be 12ish last year. Still shitty

    Just start looking at contracts as % of cap instead of money.

    As opposed to the money batum made when he was here? Or when he decided to show up, every once in a while.

    Constant stat lines of 1-8 from the field were really annoying.

    Difference is Aminu wasn't on a bloated deal.

    Only his 3pt percentage. But when you take into account all the games he misses every year.... And all the games where he would miss his first 5 shots, then not try to shoot again the rest of the game...

    Once every 4 games. And I love Nico, but let's face, he has tons of talent and the consistency of a pear left outside in a fruit basket. Sometimes he is good, but more often than not, he is already rotten.

    Agreed. But Turner even said something about not being sure if he's getting $12 million or $17 million, correct? Have we gotten a confirmation on what the contract is, yet? I presume it's the higher figure, but do we know for certain yet?

    Well this just proves my point. You guy keep filling the seat in the arena, so they put a team out there for you to watch.
    They probably sign up Comcast again too with no clause to force a Satellite deal.

    Why change what is working! That is not a question.

    Averaged 15pts/6reb/4ast in 12 games as a starter last year. Shot 51%.

    Just back off the ledge a little bit for crying out loud.

    Alright few hours after, the sticker shock is wearing off. I'm coming around to this. I wanted Turner when he was in Philly and am remembering why.

    He's a good dude, a hard worker, and good fit for the team. We did need a guy who could allow Dame and CJ off the ball a bit to relieve pressure and he certainly provides that

    Now we really need a rim protector.

    I'm waiting for people to necro-bump the 2010 draft.

    F Parsons, I think we may have dodged a 24 mil $ bullet with those knees of his
