What are peoples' thoughts on Evan Turner this offseason? I think he has done a solid job on the Celtics and would not be upset if he resigned with them but he might be worth the MLE to a contending team.

I honestly can't recall a second of Celtics ball from this season, but I choose to believe it's a mirage like all bursts of good Evan Turner play.

Look at all the votes for Nikola Mirotic in this preseason poll:



I looked and I'm actually disappointed Clint Capela's PER isn't something outlandish since he Only Dunks. On the other hand, that 15 rebounds per 36 minutes should be sustainable.

It's been a long time since I actually read about HGH. Isn't it pretty dodgy whether it really effects performance and therefore kind of odd to give it much harsher punishments than anabolic steroids?

Some combination of Moreyball/Harden/Luck worked for them this year.

I think they actually managed to gently caress around with Dwight's return timetable enough that it helped them out. Took teams a while to adjust for that and really start going after Harden.

Plus they got lucky and shored up the bench from drat near worst to respectable. It was definitely an odd season.

Covington is big and can shoot threes. I don't know if he can play defense. He does not finish well at all near the hoop. He does not block shots. He gets some steals. He is not a primary ball handler.

He is a good nba player who would play for most teams in the league

On he has another three years on his K for like 1 million per

I swear he actually blocked 1-2 shots per game in the d-league. I always reckoned he'd end up in a rotation somewhere and overrated by internet sports fans on defense because he is quite clever at using his wingspan if nothing else
