He may have a point. He needs the ball in his hands. We have a player that's a few tiers above him that has the ball in his hands already.
Of course, Toronto has Calderon that needs the ball to be effective. I guess that they are ready to trade him, or something. Will be interesting to see.
It's an easy decision if you'd rather be the star of a bad team for more money than a supporting player on a great team.
"It was easy for me," said Türkoğlu. "I promised Portland I would sign with them, and then I went back on my word. It was very, very easy."
More shots. More money. More pussy. Sounds like an easy decision to me. Haha. Actually, I am surprised he'd say it was "easy". Oh, well. Ed O.
I can't blame a player for looking out for his own interests. I can blame him for being an asshat about it. After hearing those comments, I am convinced he just used Portland as a negotiating tool, and that he lied shamelessly to the Blazers. Before reading this, I had no animosity against the guy. Now, I hope he winds up like Maurice Stokes.
Nor does Roy. The fact is, however, that they are both more effective when they are the primary ball handler. In other words - the situation is not different from this regard.
Exactly. I don't think he wanted to be 4th fiddle, plus worry about whether Nate would let him play to his strengths -- he probably wouldn't. In the end, not a good fit.
