Sorry Evan, looks like that trip around the world will have to wait until at least mid june.
Evan Turner went from the worst team in basketball, to the best team in a matter of minutes on Thursday. Turner told the Indianapolis Star that he was indeed making vacation arrangments when Sam Hinkie told him that he was on his way to Indianapolis.
Turner believed the trade deadline had passed and, playing for the struggling 76ers (15-40), was making post-regular season vacation plans when he heard he had been traded.
“Definitely excited. Still shocked; I thought the trade deadline was over,” Turner told The Star on Thursday night. “I was actually setting up my postseason (vacation) with my agent’s assistant and pretty much when I was telling her the days I wanted to go. (Then) she said, ‘Well, no we can’t book (those days), you’ve just got traded.’
“Hopefully, I can play basketball while it’s nice out. That’s the best time to do it. I’m looking forward to the future and the next few months with the team.”
