I know I’ve been telling everyone that this is going to be a crazy summer… but wow this got real crazy, real fast.

$18.75 million per year. Evan Turner. To play basketball.
Now… I will say that with the cap going berzerk the way it is, this contract in relation to the salary cap is about what a $12 million a year deal would pay ET… which makes a little more sense.
Still, Evan Turner is going get about $20 million dollars to play basketball, and potentially make more in the final year of his contract than Paul Pierce ever made in any year of his deals.
It’s a different world, folks. Good luck, Evan Turner… you were one hell of a wild ride for a couple of years.
