The Trail Blazers biggest free agent acquisition over the summer was landing the services of Evan Turner. Adding a veteran ball handler to the wing rotation proved to be near the top of Neil Olshey’s (GM) list over the summer, and only a few players covered those skills better than the former second overall pick. But the fanbase in Portland has been a little hesitant to embrace the new signing. Perhaps it is the price-tag attached to his name (70 million dollars), or it could be due to his rough-around-the-edges style of play.
Turner did very little to win over the home crowd in his debut against the Jazz.
