Evan Turner's Celtics career was brief but helped Boston become a destination
By Bobby Manning @RealBobManning on Jul 5, 2016, 9:00a
From free-agent holdover in 2014 to a 70 million dollar deal in 2016, there's a reason E.T. got paid in full this summer. The time may have been right for him to leave, but his presence on and off the court here should be remembered for helping to create a "Celtics Hustle" identity that made Boston a destination this summer.
The goodbye
Fireworks were being shot across New England in the wake of what may have been the most impactful free-agent signing in the history of the Boston Celtics. For the first time Boston had landed an All-Star in the midst of his prime, the Hawks' Al Horford. Twitter blew up, fans rejoiced and looked ahead at Kevin Durant's decision, but quietly a now-former C's figure was walking out the back door.
That's right, Evan Turner, a Celtics figure forever. If you asked him, he'd probably say he was the team's biggest free-agent signing ever, and in a roundabout way he may be right.
Turner got his due in a hefty $70 million deal with the Portland Trail Blazers, leaving a career behind in Boston that spanned only two seasons. Nevertheless, what he did on and off the court directly allowed him to keep playing basketball at the NBA level years after being drafted second overall by the Philadelphia 76ers, who dumped him for essentially no return in 2014. At the same time, his contributions were specifically impactful in making Boston a viable destination for a major free agent. That's no small thing, and on both ends Celtics fans should be grateful forever, even if you didn't particularly love his game.

OHIO STATE'S 2016 HALL OF FAME CLASS HEADLINED BY EVAN TURNER
EVAN TURNER – MEN'S BASKETBALL
Evan Turner is perhaps the most iconic player to don the Scarlet and Gray during the Thad Matta era.
"It's definitely a blessing," said Turner of the honor. "You never want to take this sort of thing for granted. It shows you're appreciated, and Ohio State is so close to my heart. To be able to come back here and be honored – it's always a bless. Like I said, I'm a big Buckeye. This is all so unreal to me still."
Turner is the most recent Buckeye to be named National Player of the Year, and owns two of the program's five all-time triple-doubles. He led the Buckeyes to a Big Ten championship during his junior season.
.
.
.
The 2016 Hall of Fame class will be honored during halftime of the Tulsa game, in front of over 100,000 fans.
"It's going to be unreal," said Turner. "I get chills just thinking about it."

"Evan Turner lives in a ridiculous house" might be the least surprising thing I've ever read on Twitter.
See last years pic of him with a 1-gallon, 2-cycle mixer can refueling his Ferrari in the middle of an exit ramp. Or read Titus's book.
He's gonna be flat broke by 40.
