Evan Turner, the No. 2 overall pick of the 2010 draft, is now a member of the Boston Celtics, his third team.
Turner was traded last year from the Philadelphia 76ers, the team that drafted him, to the Indiana Pacers. After fighting Lance Stephenson and a tumultuous postseason exit, the Pacers declined to enter a qualifying offer for Turner and let him enter free agency.
Back in July, Turner agreed to sign with the Celtics, and today, the terms to that deal became public:
Celtics announced Evan Turner signing today, and I'm told it's a two-year deal for the taxpayer mid-level exception at $3.278M per season.

Quite the pay day for ol' Evan. Hopefully he has enough money to afford gas for his Ferrari now. Turner's averaged 11 points and five rebounds a game as he enters his fourth season in the NBA.
