    Unfortunately the Raptors can't get rid of him unless they give up some serious assets since he's virtually untradable.

    I always knew it was a terrible signing, too. They signed a 30-year-old Turk for $55M and had a team that wasn't in a position to seriously compete in the playoffs.

    Maybe if the Bosh for Bynum rumors start getting serious the Raptors can dump him in L.A. How stacked would the Lakers be though:

    PG: Derek Fisher
    SG: Kobe Bryant
    SF: Ron Artest
    PF: Chris Bosh
    C: Pau Gasol

    Bench:
    Odom
    Turk

    there's gonna be some team that wants him, maybe Orlando will want him back. Maybe the Rockets will want him, reunite him with Rick Adelman or the Raps will force him on the Rockets in a sign and trade for Bosh.

    That is probably the best idea, if BC can find a way to make it work

    He better find a way to make it work. You have our franchise player, looking for an out. Our SUPPOSEDLY SF SAVIOR is fucking the dog on an hourly basis and continues to spew his verbal crap to anyone that will listen. If they don't want to stay than good-bye. Hedo acting like he came of a good year or something. Where the fuck does he get the leverage to talk about him wanting out. Dude needs to take his balls outta his purse and get his head in the game. Come out next year correct, and you won't have any problems. Play basketball and we'll win. Stupid euro.

    Raptors' Turkoglu wants to be traded

    Hedo Turkoglu told a Turkish television station he wants out of Toronto.

    Turkoglu was close to signing with the Portland Trail Blazers last summer but reneged on a contract offer in favor of the Toronto Raptors. He struggled, averaging 11.3 points, his lowest total since the 2003-04 season.

    "When the circumstances turned against me, I lost my enthusiasm for this city," Turkoglu said in the interview. "My lawyers have talked to the front office recently. Honestly, I do not want to go back to Toronto. My lawyers talked to Mr. [Bryan] Colangelo and I hope that they will come up with a solution soon."

    Turkoglu was a healthy scratch for the Raptors in late March. The decision to bench him came in the wake of reports he was out on the town immediately after missing a game due to a stomach virus. He was fined by the team.

    Re: Raptors' Turkoglu wants to be traded

    Yeah I don't think the Raptors want him either. :lol: Hey Toronto send Bosh and Turkoglu to L.A. for Vujacic, Farmar, and Brown. :-)lol:, probably won't want those scrubs you can take Bynum if you don't want those other 3 scrubs)

    On behalf of the Portland Trail Blazers, I'd like to thank the wonderful city of Toronto from saving us from ourselves.
