I wasn't aware that anybody was required to "blame" for a decision. It's a decision, not like they knifed the team in the back.
LOL, this wasn't about his wife. or that TOR is a more "cosmopolitan" city than POR, or is closer to Turkey via flight, or has more of a turkish population.... Those are all EXCUSES to deflect the REAL reason why he chose TOR over POR... IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY PEOPLE...... TOR offered more ($12mil per year), and now they have forced themselves into a situation of having to WAIVE 3 players and get nothing of value for them... ORL won't do a S&T for Hedo... And does anyone really think another GM is going to "help Colangelo out" by offering a "fair" value trade for any of these guys? I sure wouldn't...I'd be asking for picks, another player I like or for them to take back a bad contract that I had....GM's are sharks....and there is blood in the water here... You know, we all could be laughing at TOR by the end of this...How would Turkoglu react if TOR suddenly couldn't offer the money they promised? Could Colangelo even let that happen? I doubt it...they would just have to bite the bullet and release all 3 guys.... So TOR could basically getting nothing of value for Marion, Delfino and Parker AND overpay Turkoglu $12 million for 5 years.... Seriously, who looks like the fool now? You can't blame Pritchard for TOR going "All in" with a pair of 8's....
If that is the case then so be it, but ESPN and other media sources have reported that it will be $12mil per 5 years...I guess we will see when\if he signs... Apparently besides cutting the 3 players I mentioned earlier, TOR would also have to waive Voskhul\Pops-Mensu (big deal) and some cap holds for foreign players?
