    The one player on the planet we shouldn't trade Turner for unless he came with Randle.

    Sure wish we could amnesty him. Not to wish injury on anyone, but medical retirement is probably our only hope of getting rid of him until that last year of his contract where the expiring $18M might be worth something to someone...but at that point, it might be most valuable to us.

    Sure, but why would we do that?

    Meyers at his contract > Turner at his contract

    Eh, I don't know..... if you compare their contributions, they're probably pretty comparably bad.

    Seriously. Take on more money and get no cap relief and no players that make a bit of difference.

    I don't even think Turner is a good rotational player. I've never been impressed with him. He has a few good games here in there when his shot (miraculously) is falling, but those are few and far between.

    He's shooting 44% from 2 20% from 3. Abysmal. 3 assists 2 turnovers per 36. Yeah, that's great.

    Panic Plan B Turner.

    If I were Paul Allen, I'd seriously consider breaking all of Neil Olshey's fingers for signing turner to 18 mil per year.

    Does it matter if we would or not? Why would Charlotte consider that?

    I imagine that would be a very quick call. They might even hang-up before answering the question.

    When you combine player + contract Turner hands down least valuable asset on this team

    If the NBA handed every team an amnesty ticket tommorrow, and they had 24 hours to use it, who here doesn't think the Blazers use that on Turner ASAP?

    I'm still shocked Neil got an extension after signing this bum.

    He's been horrendous in FA. I just hope we don't end up losing someone who is more valuable to the team because of Turner's contract. We could probably sign a couple of scrubs from the D league to play as well as Harkless and Turner.

    It's $17 million per year. It's bad enough without you adding money to it.
