    I see a lot of trade CJ or fire stotts in our threads all time. I think our real problem have a name. Evan Turner.

    Last year we played better when he was not on the team, with his injury, plus minus last game was -17. He cant play more than 25 minutes p game. If he play that much of time we already lost the game. He needs to play maximum of 4 minutes per quarter. And never in clutch times

    When he come to our team, Olshey promisses him a start role. We try a lot put him on in the starting line up but he just doenst fit. He cant shoot 3's, he's not a good playmaker and he's average defender. When he's out we produce more, coincidence or not. We need get away from him and we gonna need put a 1st round to do it, for sure. If we can make us better and would do it. Shabazz Napier really step up for us last few games Evan Turner never did that. We dont need to trade CJ if we can DUMP evan turner.

    Yeah, it's an albatross. To shed that contract, we would have to give up some serious assets.

    No thanks. There's some things that just aren't worth it.

    Really? At present, we're basically getting nothing of value from either Meyers or Turner. You'd rather the Blazers pay them $27M for nothing than pay $17M for nothing from Noah while picking up the 3/D guard we really need?

    I'd put a first round just to do it. He needs to go to free cap space. Olshey kill us with this move. Put him and ED on a trade with 1st round, try to get another one from return. We need cap space and neil has to do he's best to bring someone from us in FA. We need turner out.

    He’s a good defender and an average offensive player. He handles the ball well, passes well, and can post up, but he isn’t very athletic and he lacks range. He has an old school game that doesn’t necessarily translate to great success in today’s nba.

    Are you calling him fat?

    We can find another shitty contract to swap for. But like what’s the point? I’d rather trade someone of value, and get value in return.

    As for adding a first, once again, hell no. The draft is what Olshey is best at. We have no cap space. Picks mean too much for Portland.

    They need to just Luol Deng him and DNP him every night until his contract is done. Let him serve as a reminder to the terrible summer Olshey had.

    Turnover is settling into his role nicely as a below average overpaid bricklayer.

    Fuck you Neil.

    While I've never been a huge fan of Turner. With Harkless being MIA, and Layman being a worse NBA player than Luke Babbit... For awhile Turner was Portland's best option at the three.

    I did see one thing against Philly that I'm annoyed he hasn't done more of.
    Last night instead of shooting a mid range fadeaway, he shot a pocket pass to Nurk out of the pick and roll. Which lead to an easy bucket for Nurk.
    Why he hasn't done more of this I don't know. He's supposed to be a good passer, yet I'd label him no better than CJ in passing.

    However after the comments Turner left on his instagram a few games back. When he made the decision to respond to a fan. I'd ready for Portland to cut him just to get him out of a Blazer uniform. His comments were ass classless as the comments left to Nards about 'I wish you'd tear your acl'.

    The Evan Turner roll sounds like a meal at Denny’s. Scrambled eggs swirled around a wiener slapped on a plain hoagie bun with too little mustard to be satisfying, all for the price of a prime rib dinner.

    On Instagram, right? I posted them a couple weeks ago. I hope the FO finds out about that shit. Not even Olshey would stand for it.

    I'd do that trade listed above for Noah and Lee. In a heart beat. A change of scenery might be good for Noah too.

    I don't have his Instagram in front of me. But it was something to the effect of: "I ain't a homewrecker, if I was, I'd cum on your sister and mom's face".

    Yep. No shit. Nice guy, huh?

    I went to a sushi restaurant today and ordered an Evan Turner Roll and some miso soup. It wasn't very good. If it was a fish, I would have thrown it back.
