    He won't go back to Sac town.

    Toronto? Maybe...

    Detroit wants him, according to a report I just posted.

    I still think he ends up with you guys.

    Re: CBS Sports reporting the Blazers after Turkoglu

    I'm speculating that this $$ figure is agent-driven.

    Yea, turns out it will be more around the 8/year range.

    Re: CBS Sports reporting Blazers after Turkoglu / Quick reports talks with Hedo's age

    Do you guys feel like Hedo can put you guys in the contender level?

    Still need a PG, but I wouldn't be surprised if we were if the rest of our roster progresses like they should.

    I don't think he does by himself, but he will improve Portland a bit. Combined with improvements from Oden (far and away the most important factor), Rudy, Batum and/or Bayless, Portland could be a contender next season.

    No question if we can land a PG as well.

    Yes I think he could have solid contributions next season and we could have a shot. We aren't going to be favorites, but we could be a team that with a couple of lucky breaks is right there at the end.

    Re: CBS Sports reporting Blazers after Turkoglu / Quick reports talks with Hedo's age

    No, but with the young talent on this team, I don't think his experience would hurt. If he's signed, expect a trade of Blake and Batum/or Outlaw/or Webster for a PG.

    Re: CBS Sports reporting Blazers after Turkoglu / Quick reports talks with Hedo's age

    Absolutely. Four small forwards isn't a stable situation, even if Turkoglu and Outlaw can moonlight as power forwards. Hinrich isn't a sexy choice, but I have to say that I'd be pretty confident about Portland's chances with Roy/Aldridge/Oden surrounded by Hinrich and Turkoglu, though Batum certainly shouldn't be included in a deal for Hinrich.

    I have some mixed feelings about Hedo being 'the guy' for our cap space, but hell.. I'm glad KP is expected to do something with the cap space and there is some confirmation that something that's going to happen. Go Blazers!

    If it's 10M/Year, I'll be less than ecstatic. But at least we're doing something instead of standing pat.

    Re: CBS Sports reporting Blazers after Turkoglu / Quick reports talks with Hedo's age

    I think getting Turkoglu would be a great addition. I'd much rather have him than many of the free agents and Vince Carter. He could put the ball on the floor, pass well, hit from anywhere on the court, and is clutch. If they can get him and Miller, we are contenders. Hinrich, not so much.
