    No. I didn't want Monroe, and didn't mind Aminu at 7 mil. But man...this is not what I was expecting at all. We already have athletic SF that is a subpar shooter. Just keep Harkless.

    That turner deal is dreadul. Dont overpay shit players on an albatross contract. Use cap space to acquire assets in a small market.

    the problem is, I think, that if Durant and Horford go back to their old teams, there is not gonna be much need for teams to trade.

    Remember when we all said "This is the most important FA period in the last 2 decades?"

    We got Evan Turner.

    Fuck that.

    I've got to say I like Turner more than Fournier. Fournier is strictly a scorer, Turner's pretty versatile. Plus Fournier has such a punchable face.

    Monroe can be had for a 2nd rounder. We must have really soured on him though.

    Just don't see how turner is much of an upgrade over what we already had. It's marginal at best. Olshey just blew our wad on this?

    Maybe Hark or Crabbe or both are not coming back?

    Well, maybe they will deal Aminu for cap space or something. Aminu for Kanter?

    He probably would have if we had paid him half of what Turner is making.

    I actually really like Evan Turner..... but this seems expensive and it's a pretty big letdown compared to what we were talking about.

    I doubt we don't bring him back, we match on him and Crabbe. 3 and D guys (Hark can be one) have a lot of value, he is an asset.
