Already public with his desire to be traded, disgruntled Toronto Raptors forward Hedo Turkoglu(notes) has privately expressed to league friends a desire to return to the Sacramento Kings, sources told Yahoo! Sports. After Raptors general manager Bryan Colangelo brought him to Toronto with a five-year, $53 million contract last summer, Turkoglu had a tumultuous season and recently told Turkish television – and apparently the organization – that he no longer wants to play for the franchise. The Kings and Raptors have yet to engage in trade discussions, sources say, but communication is a likely possibility before the end of the month. There won’t be much of a market for the declining veteran, but there are scenarios where he could make sense for the Kings. Y! Sports
Maybe Hedo for something like Jason Thompson, and then SAC picks a big in the draft? SAC's well below the cap, so they can just absorb the contract. TOR needs bigs in a bad way.
^ Noc has a team option for the next two seasons essentially making his contract an expiring one. He would be redundant with Hedo but Sac might want to look into a third team for Noc to get better value. No reason for Sacramento to poison their currently favorable salary situation with Turk, tho.
Stupid Hedo. Why can't this be like the NFL where the league is run by owners and you employed by a franchise. The player is disgruntled, he gets fired and not paid. Cause this bullshit happens, there is no action taken if a player does this. He gets signed to a huge contract and doesn't even show up to play, how do you expect fans to act you fuck. This is pro sports, you need to preform to be praised. You show up outta shape and expect everyone to love you . Fuck, I'm tired of wasting time on Hedo. Get him his ass OUTTA HERE ALREADY!
