Whoa.
A big chip fell in NBA free agency early on the first full day of permissible contract talks -- and from an unlikely source.
After an up-and-down start to his career in Philadelphia and an unmemorable, contentious cup of coffee in Indianapolis, Evan Turner seemed to have found solid ground with the Boston Celtics.
A staple in the Cs’ rotation, Turner teamed with fellow former Buckeye Jared Sullinger and former Butler coach Brad Stevens to help reestablish Boston as a perennial playoff staple.
Upon another free agency go, however, Turner’s elected to both potentially help his championship aspirations and make some bank in the process.
