Evan Turner Agrees To A Four-Year Deal With Portland Trail Blazers

Before rejuvenating his career in Boston, the 6-foot-7 Turner was continually referenced as the No. 2 pick in the 2010 draft. Sports, “free agent forward Evan Turner has reached agreement on a four-year, $70 million deal with Portland [Trail Blazers]”. Celtics coach Brad Stevens often leaned on Turner’s ballhandling abilities, especially during the 2014-15 season.

Turner has played five seasons in the National Basketball Association, with the last two coming with the Celtics. Every night I played at TD garden was like a dream come through. “C’s up”, he wrote.

Last season, where Turner made 57 starts, he averaged 9.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game.

The deal can not be officially signed until July 7, when a leaguewide moratorium on signings and trades is lifted.

A big chip fell in National Basketball Association free agency early on the first full day of permissible contract talks – and from an unlikely source.

Portland had pushed hard at trying to court former Dallas Mavericks swingman Chandler Parsons, who was supposedly the first player the Trail Blazers organization met with in 2016 National Basketball Association free agency.

NETS: Jeremy Lin agreed to a three-year, $36 million contract with Brooklyn, a person with knowledge of the details told The Associated Press.
