    We dodged a massive bullet with Hedo.

    T-Dot is suck with that guy for the next 5 seasons.

    He and DeRozan work well together, so that is a positive.

    Turk would've really helped us during this trying time. He can play all 5 positions. I know you may say he can't play C, but if Dante Cunningham can play center, than Turk can play center.

    How is he compared to Webster? Can he play defense well? How much is his salary? :dunno:

    He has Finals experience and he can run an offense at the point very effectively if needed. And he can hit the outside shot better than 40% of the time. And he can hit big shots under pressure. Plus, getting Turkoglu and his versatility would've given us flexibility to trade players like Blake and Outlaw for an upgrade at other positions.

    You know that was terrible on ball defense right? He just got lucky after Kobe went by him really easily..

    Any time you see a major player on a contending team leave right after their first run to the finals, you know he is just looking for money gravy and doesn't really give a shit about winning. Any competitive player worth their salt would have stayed on board and given that team another couple of shots at winning it all, especially later in his career.

    I always hated the idea of the Hedo acquisition, but damn could we use Milsap now. That guy can board with the best of them. He could be our Chuck Hayes.

    I view them as very different players. Chuck Hayes is the immovable object. Milsap has a lot more going on offensive side of the ball.

    I will also say I believe no matter who we signed, we had a sign and trade deal with Philly lined up for Dre, probably for Blake & Outlaw. So, when I look at the impact these players would have had for us, I still think of Miller as being on our team.

    Very true, but Milsap plays much taller than he is and is a quick jumper on the boards.

    In retrospect, perhaps saying he could have been our Carl Landry would have been more accurate.

    Actually, out of all the guys we could have used some of the cap space on last summer, at this point I'd take Channing Frye.:shitstorm:
