The Celtics have too many guaranteed contracts, one needs to go before the season opens up against Philadelphia. So I ask, why can’t it be Evan Turner?
Sure, Turner did resurrect his career in dramatic fashion to become a vital force in the Celtics lineup as the point forward last year. While streaky at times, he did put up some gaudy box scores and his offensive versatility came in handy.
Turner averaged 9.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game while bursting out for three triple-doubles, which only Russell Westbrook and James Harden recorded more of, during the 14-15 campaign.
