That's fair. Turk should be paid more to go to Toronto. We're certainly not going to pay him the same amount for a better experience.
also Hedo wasnt like other players where he got his HUGE contracts and is now thinking "I made my money, now its time to WIN" He still is looking for that BIG contract.
that wouldnt make sense.. if anything they finally have a decent lineup.. with Calderon, Turk, Bosh, and anything that Derozen does is gravy.
Does anyone realize Hedo was at best the 3rd best player on the Magic last year? 4th is arguable with Jameer Nelson. I think Turk has a chance to be a pretty bad FA signing for the team he goes to.
Man I hope this is true. We then turn our attention to a defensive-minded small forward who actually fills a need, and hopefully Miller or Hinrich. It does smell like an agent trying to drum up more value for his player, though. When was the last time Jason Quick broke a story about somebody else's team? Seems like the logical move for Hedo's agent to call up the local Portland beat reporter and make something up.
LOL wow. Go ahead Toronto. Spend that much on him. I still say trade Rudy. He just proved that he is a crybaby and if shit doesn't go his way he will act like a little bitch.
Huh? The guy they went to in crunch time was their 4th best player? Come on RoyToy, don't blindly hate someone. In a lot of ways, he was their best player. I'd be fine if you said T-2 with Lewis, but even that is hating.
You should ignore me, too, because I agree 100% with that post. Rudy is overrated. Trade him. Regardless of whether we sign Hedo or not.
You know, Kobe Bryant did the same thing. Think the Lakers really regret that they held on to that "little bitch"? It's the real world, not a YMCA pickup game. Millions of dollars and a guy's career is at stake. I really don't begrudge somebody making such complaints IN THE OFFSEASON at a time when lots of players get shuffled around. Assuming, of course, it's true. And I've yet to see any real proof that it is.
The shit isnt even proven to be true, yet people are on the boards here calling him a "crybaby" and "whiner". F'n drama queens. Go back to your oxygen and lifetime movies.
Something about this screams of KP duping Colangelo so that he (BC) stays away from the guy KP really wanted. Gordon, perhaps?
Good point. Just trying to think how we could leverage it maybe something like this... To New Jersey: Bosh and Blake go to New Jersey waiting for LeBron From New Jersey: Devin Harris, CDR, Hassel, Najera, Yi To Toronto: Najera, Jianlian, Fernandez, Bayless, Outlaw From Toronto: Bosh, Jawai To Portland: Hassel, Jawai and Devin Harris From Portland: Blake, Bayless, Fernandez, Outlaw Toronto does it because they are losing Bosh and the end of the season and need young talent to rebuild. New Jersey does it because once they move to Brooklyn they want to lure LeBron and Bosh would do that. Portland does it because we get Harris. What do you think?
His lack of defense hurts. You could make a case Nelson is 2nd. He shot 50%, averaged the same pts as Hedo and more asts than Hedo. Hedo is just a really inefficient player.
As nice as it would be to have Hedo, I'd rather use that PT to get Batum and Rudy more minutes (Rudy with Roy especially), and give some to Webster as well. Adding a new starting PG (saying bye to Blake and allowing Bayless the backup minutes), and getting a vet to backup PF are the things that I think are most important this off-season. Obviously, it kind of looks like KP disagrees with me though.
