e0, Bynum is barely 7’0″. But you are correct about Jrue & Turner, though. It’s time both of them to improve & step-up, or they both need to go. Got a feeling Turner is a bust, we’ll see???

Evan Turner’s horrible left hand dribble prevents him from playing pick and roll with Bynum so Jrue Holliday is the best option. When you bring in a 7’2’’ low post scorer, you become a Power Team. Jrue Holliday is a finesse player who avoids contact. Jrue Holliday must get to the foul line to make this Bynum trade work. If Evan Turner can repair that left hand dribble he is an NBA starter; that is preventing him from excelling.

For the LOVE of God Hickman, what makes you think Evan is going to be any good? My prediction is that Turner will be traded by the all-star break in a package deal for some big star on the last year of his contract.

BTW, if Turner starts over Nick Young, it’s because the Sixers don’t want to admit they made a mistake with selecting Turner at #2 overall.

Nick Young is a better player than Evan Turner and should be the starter for this team.

I’m sure Orlando would have easily taken Turner or Allen over Vucevic or Harkless, but there isn’t any way the Sixers would have dealt either of them in a situation like this where as of now they’ve only got Bynum on a one-year commitment.
I also think that at this point, the Magic just wanted to take the best deal on the table and be done with the whole situation. They’re starting over with a new coach and a new GM, and it would be hard for them to get going in the right direction if they still had the toxic cloud that was Dwight Howard on the roster creating a distraction when the season started. They saw how ugly and awkward things got a year ago, and clearly wanted no part of reliving that nightmare again.

I still don’t get why Orlando wanted Nic Vucevic & Moe Harkless over Evan Turner and Lavoy Allen.
The Assists per game coming from Holliday and Bynum are a stat I will be watching closely. That is a weakness in both player’s game. Holliday is going to have to slow the game down for Bynum by getting to the foul line and using his fouls, big huge guys like Bynum need time to catch their breath.
