I want Turk. He has big time playoff experience, his scoring rose each round during this year's playoffs, he can distribute the ball, score in the clutch and play all 5 positions.
But can't defend any of them and he isn't getting any younger. I hope KP passes. It's not the right guy.
Which position can't he play? He's big enough to play in the frontcourt and a good enough shooter and passer to play in the backcourt.
Classic example of letting one play make up your mind. He's not a good defender. Kobe got around him so easy it's not even funny. Guess what - that happens a lot to Turk.
The 5 or the 1. He's doesn't have the handle, speed, or court vision to play the 1 and he's too small to play the five. *edited*
This is what Orlando offered him. I don't remember seeing these numbers yet. http://www.floridatoday.com/article...318/1002/SPORTS/Turkoglu likely out for Magic

You've got to operate the team like any other business, IMO. Yes, by getting Hedo, at any cost, you strengthen the possibility of winning a championship, but you also worsen the team in the future. No no no! Portland either signs him for $8M per for three seasons or they move on to the next free agent or trade opportunity.
