Brad Stevens ‘Definitely’ Wants Evan Turner Back

Evan Turner is admittedly intrigued by his impending foray into unrestricted free agency, but he’s not necessarily excited. If he had his druthers, he would simply sign somewhere on July 1 and be done with it. It won’t be that simple, particularly if Turner gives strong consideration to returning to Boston, and he might have to exercise some patience with the process.

“Coach [Stevens] definitely said [he wants me back],” said Turner. “He said he’ll be pushing for me and everything like that. And that’s pretty much it. But there’s a lot of stuff that’s going on right now. I understand it. And I understand what’s going to occur, with the draft picks and the young guys trying to develop and trying to get a superstar, stuff like that. I definitely comprehend it.”
