On the opening night of free agency, Celtics free-agent wing Evan Turner is set to be a very popular man. There are at least six teams in the hunt for Turner, a source told Sporting News, and perhaps a seventh if Boston steps back into the fray.
Turner has been expected to be wooed by the Knicks and his hometown team, the Bulls. But the Pelicans, Mavericks, Lakers and Grizzlies are also preparing to bid for Turner, the source said. Some meetings will be arranged for the early stages of free agency, but nothing has been finalized.
