How about just suck up well deserved critic and let the game speak?

let other teams worry about him. This is our time!

No we would be giving up too much. I like Bosh and they can have Lee plus anyone but Gallo for Bosh and Turkey-glue, but not Gallo, no.

unfortunately, he is reponsible for much of it.

after playing in the finals and all summer with turkey, he came into camp exhausted and out of shape. the coaching staff told him to rest up and start playing with the team in preseason. but he was out of shape pretty much the whole season.

now, hedo probably was not used in the same way as orlando did. and when he wasn't, his game suffered. he did play after breaking a bone in his face and smashing his nose a few times. and every time he seemed to get on track, he would get a little injury to set him back.

but regardless of what happened on the court, he was seen all year long out at clubs and having a good time. he got a rep of a party boy so the event he is talking about, was not an isolated incident. he was suspended for the same ongoing behavior that led up to it. there was one night when he was hurt but was photographed by a girl with her cell phone at a club...where he took the phone and deleted the picture. it made the papers and that's how the team found out about that one.

the new CBA needs to address this type of situation - a guy signs for 5 years $50+ mil (which has a trade kicker) and he demands a deal 1 year into it.

btw, he doesn't have an agent, he just has lawyers representing him so when he says "the lawyers" are working with colangelo, it really means his agent.

Lee and Curry for Bosh and Hedo? I think I am down.

Personally, though, I would still prefer Iggy to Hedo in all circumstances.

And how are ya'll just brushing past this club shyt? He'd lose his mind in the city.

that's a case of just looking at the #'s without actually watching him play.

the difference between turk in orlando and turk in toronto is usage. he ran the point forward alot more for the magic. that's the main reason he's been upset in toronto. when he did handle play making duty for a consistent stretch, he produced. he didn't mesh with jose as jose is also a primary ball handler. it's also partially a result of a rookie coach with 9 new players trying to appease everyone.

I agree. I didnt understand why he went to Toronto when they have a PG. Turkeyglue needs the ball in his hands to be effective. I wouldnt play him next to a decent PG but he'd be ideal next to a SG in a PG's body. I think he could flourish here with Douglas in the backcourt.
