    Think outside the box....perhaps this is all just leverage to get another FA (say Ariza perhaps?) or team to cough up what we really want.

    However the simplest answer is that we really want Hedo. I'm not ecstatic about it but its a solid upgrade and I think he'll compliment Roy well.

    Yeah, I can just picture Paul Allen on his yacht, sailing toward his secret skull shaped island, pushing buttons that activate the mind control device inside Kevin Pritchard's head. "Do my bidding..."

    Actually...I recall that what Paul Allen said about Darius Miles was...'He's cool.' or something like that. You know...Miles WAS the best player on our team the year he got re-signed, so it's not as if we weren't going to try to re-sign him anyway. We simply overpaid. That's the mistake. And that wasn't Paul Allen's mistake.

    Paul Allen may indeed have said 'let's win a championship next year.' Let's say that he DID say that. Now it's up to Kevin Pritchard to go about that in the best way possible. He's not going to mortgage the future to win ONE championship. he's said that numerous times. And Paul Allen doesn't want him to. You guys are imagining things that there is no evidence for at all. If we sign Turkoglu, it's probably because it was the best realistic option.
