VTCrunkler Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 The Doncic trade is looking like pure genius now. Can Turner play the 4 and we have a glut of 2 and 3? JDaveG and FalconsIn2012 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEORGIAfan Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 RIP Baze gaze. It just sucks. I know his contract was trash, but he took less money when others were leaving. I am going to miss him.

Turner can play a little PG, which is probably why the deal was done. We can have turner play backup PG. Now we do not need to get a vet backup PG and can focus our cap space on Vince and Dedmon.

Too bad I think baze was loyal to the hawks. But now with turner, I don’t see us missing the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATL_666 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I know nothing about Turner, so what is the consensus with you guys on this one? Just at a glance his career stats don't impress that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawggone Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I dont understand why we take on a bad contract for 2 yrs when Baze had 1 only. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blkbigdog35 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 The deal swaps Kent Bazemore for Evan Turner, two players coming up on the final year of four-year contracts signed in 2016 with their respective teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-dawg Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 this trade is a nothing-burger either way. Hawks didn't want to play Baze with the gazillion wings we have now. Maybe Turner can fill the backup PG role although I still would try to upgrade it in FA with a 1yr vet deal.

FalconFanSince1970 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 This was just a swap of expiring contracts. Portland needs a shooter and Baze can shoot. Turner can play a little point and we need a back up point. He also plays shooting guard and had his best years as a small forward. Probably a better defender than Baze. I hope Mooney can take that back up point guard spot from Turner and Adams. VTCrunkler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read Turner had this season and 1 more. Good to know its expiring. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
