Tweet of the Day goes to Evan Turner, who was happy to see Steve Nash stay on the West Coast. Had Nash gone to the Toronto Raptors, he would have become a division rival for Turner and the Philadelphia 76ers. It would have turned the Atlantic Division into one of the most competitive divisions in the league, given the fact that the Celtics are mostly keeping their core, the Knicks look to be more consistent next season with a healthier roster, and the Nets have and continue the process of revamping their roster.
Luckily for the 76ers, Nash will be a Laker and the Raptors appear to be ready for another hopeless season. Just don’t tell Evans that he is lucky, because even though he’s glad about not having to face a tougher Raptors team, he apparently doesn’t give a freak about who he has to play against.
UPDATE: The Raptors will send a package to the Houston Rockets for point guard Kyle Lowry (We’ll have more in our news later).
