Turner/ Sullinger Possibly On Trading Block

According to hngn.com, the Celtics are exploring the possibilities of trading Evan Turner who was quite productive last year with a few triple doubles and solid offensive skills and Jared Sullinger who has battled weight issues and nagging injuries but can contribute well rebounding and scoring in the post in order to get down to 15 players. The person who would be cut from the Celtics if they keep Turner or Sullinger would be Zoran Dragic, who was newly acquired from the Miami Heat. Ideas of where they would go has interesting possibilities. Sullinger for instance could be beneficial to the Washington Wizards who recently lost C Kevin Sheraphin to the Knicks. Sullinger could make a great addition to the Wizards as he is reunited with former teammate Kris Humphries and he could get quality minutes alongside a great lineup with John Wall, Bradley Beal, Marcin Gortat, and rookie Kelly Oubre. Turner has the possibility of returning to Indiana since G Monta Ellis signed with Indiana this offseason. Chemistry would have to be on good terms with Turner and Ellis if the possibility of Turner returning to Indy was actually happening. They could be a deadly combo of shooting and dishing out the ball for Indy as they are stacked with guards like rookie Joe Young, George Hill, Paul George (G/F), Donald Sloan, and Rodney Stuckey. George also gives Turner reasons for possibly going since he is back healthy from a gruesome broken leg suffered last year in a USA Basketball exhibition game.
