NBASupes Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 We save 600k. That should help us in the Lakers deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Popular Post AHF Posted June 24, 2019 Moderators Popular Post Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 What the #$*&. We better be getting a future first in this deal. Baze over Turner all day long and twice on Sundays. Every minute he plays is a minute wasted. 5 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted June 24, 2019 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 I hope this is a joke or at least we're getting first rounders. Bazemore is twice as good as Turner. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucastheThird Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Why? I don't want to overreact without seeing the complete deal, but this sucks as a 1 for 1 trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBASupes Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 If there is a positive, Turner is a better passer and dribbler than Bazemore. But not quite the shooter or defender. Not quite the leader either or the locker room guy Kent is. This is an elite move for Kent. Total situation upgrade. It's clear, TS and team want playmakers and valuable that A LOT. 1 minute ago, Dejay said: This has buyout written all over it... I disagree, Turner can get solid mins. He's not Crabbe.

Premium Member Popular Post cam1218 Posted June 24, 2019 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Any chance this might have something to do with opening up some minutes for our rookies? It'll be easier to stick Turner at the end of the bench (if needed) than a true pro like Bazemore. His contract is awful but he was a great team guy. Best of luck, Baze! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marco102 Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Kent Bazemore to Portland for Evan Turner. Looks like a move to get Baze some playing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Popular Post AHF Posted June 24, 2019 Moderators Popular Post Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Dumb trade in isolation because Baze had actual trade value to a contender this year while Turner has none. What contender wants a wing who shoots 21% from 3pt range? I don't know Turner from Adam on a personal level but he may be one of my least favorite players in the entire NBA. His inability to shoot a jumper crushes the spacing on the floor for other players and he isn't a good enough defender to make up for it. There has to be either another move or picks coming here. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco102 Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Yeah, I don't think Solomn Hill, Crabbe or Tuner are long for this team. Bring back Vince, Dedmon, and Anderson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 This is a downgrade. It's clear Atlanta wanted to trade into a better situation it seems for his agency. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems like a favor to Bazemore trade. Loyal, but wasn't going to get many mins with Bembry ahead of him, it seems like the Dorsey trade to me. 6 minutes ago, kg01 said: But do we want/need him getting minutes over our young guys?
