Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

No, I haven't been drinking. It's not even 6:00 AM ET. And besides, this has been a crazy season in many ways - and I say this is not a move that is totally off the table . Bob Cousy did it for one game as coach of the Royals, although that didn't work out very well. Dave Cowens came out of retirement to play for the Bucks and his old pal, Coach Don Nelson . Magic Johnson did it, as did Michael Jordan - twice. Why not assistant coach, Evan Turner . Many of my contacts in a Celtics chat group have been trying in vain to view Turner's name and capacity on any official Celtics listing. He was allegedly brought into the fold in the capacity of player development to replace Kara Lawson .  The 6'7" wing has played for Brad Stevens as a member of the Celtics during the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons, playing in all-but-one of the combined 164 contests and starting 69 of them. ET covered the PG, SG and SF spots for Boston, He averaged 9.5 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 6.5 APG and 1...

With 10-year NBA vet, Evan Turner, coming in to the Celtics organization as an Assistant Coach in charge of player development, the question many may ask is, "Why him?" 10-year NBA veteran Evan Turner is finalizing a deal to join the Boston Celtics as an assistant coach, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium . Turner is expected to focus on player development. — Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) November 30, 2020 Well, if you haven't noticed, coach Brad Stevens is locked into mid-sized wings, and Turner is certainly that. The 6'6", 220-pounder was taken with the second overall pick in the 2010 NBA draft by Philadelphia - has played for five teams (2 seasons in Boston) - and has performed as a point guard, shooting guard and small forward. His experience is broad, and that is what is needed to guide the current Celtics crew. ET has no Championship rings and zero All-Star appearances, but I might argue that middle-of-the-road players often make the best coaches. For...

Ten-Year NBA veteran, and former-Celtic, Evan Turner, was recently traded from the Atlanta Hawks to the Minnesota Timberwolves. It is quite likely that Turner will be bought out by Minnesota, and the 31-year-old guard/forward should draw some interest from the Boston Celtics. Barring another trade, Evan Turner is expected to get a buyout from @Timberwolves . The @celtics are expected to be among teams interested him -- but no roster spot (as of now). Another East contender would have interest, too, I'm told. More on @HeavySan : https://t.co/dpSQHbE6Lt — Sean Deveney (@SeanDeveney) February 5, 2020 ET spent two seasons in Boston, and his best production came in the 2014-15 season when he averaged 12.4 PPG, 6.6 RPG, 7.2 APG and 1.3 SPG. He is a 3-position player, capable of handling both guard positions as well as the small forward spot. Since he has played under coach Brad Stevens, Turner knows Brad's offensive and defensive schemes. There is currently no open roster slot...
