Second overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft  Evan Turner will likely be looking for a new home at the end of the season.

The Sixers' had until Thursday night to offer the former Buckeye an extension, but according to Keith Pompey of the Philidelphia Enquirer, the team is 'moving in a different direction'.

The 76ers swingman, who's arguably the team's best
player, was not
offered an extension past this season. The league-mandated deadline to
do that was Thursday night.

"There was nothing whatsoever,"
Turner said Friday morning of contract negotiations with the Sixers.
"Nothing was done. That's it. There was nothing to talk about. There was
no discussion."


The franchise is in the process of making major changes after hiring Sam Hinkie as its general manager in May.
