The Boston Celtics are a strong and cohesive unit that are getting it done without a clear no.1 player. One night it’s Isaiah Thomas, one night it’s Jae Crowder, another night it can be someone that hasn’t had a notable game yet. We just never know who is going to boss it for them.
Evan Turner used to be the no.1 option in Philadelphia but I think it’s better to be a team player on a great team than the leader of a heap of trash. His deal with Boston runs out after this season, but why mess up something good? That’s basically what Danny Ainge is asking.
“As you know I’m a fan of Evan and I think he’s had a really good year,” Danny Ainge said. “I think he’s had a good two years [with the Celtics]. He won a lot of games for us. Down the stretch of games, he’s a good guy to have on your team, he’s a versatile player. He plays multiple positions.”
When asked if he’d like to re-sign Turner, Ainge said: “Yes. We’re big fans of Evan. I think Evan likes us and we like him.”
It sounds like a match made in heaven. Evan Turner is liking Boston and the Celtics are good with having him back. He’s a good veteran that still gets the job done, simple, get that man a new deal.
