"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."
During this process I talked to [Raptors coach] Jay Triano several times," Turkoglu said in the interview. "I promised him that whether he starts me or not, I will do my best on the court. However, if I had a more temperamental personality, I would have left the team. Yet, I did exactly the opposite. I did my best. I told him that I have no problems with him. I am not a young player, so it's not a big deal for me to come off the bench."
lmao, grass aint always greener in canada ? . its ok raptors, only 4 years 43.8 million left on the contract of a 31 year old on the decline who doesnt want to be there

Hedo isnt very smart. Why leave a team that just went to the Finals for a team thats not near that level? For the money? Idiot! Hopefully him and colangelo are gone before, during or after next season.

id have to think about that one. shards deal is shorter, but only by a year and turk is making much less money. i'd have to say no though. i dont think there's enough shots to go around for a jameer-vc-turk trio, not even mentioning dwight

I really consider it and if we accepted it i wouldnt be mad. Hedo already has great chemistry with Dwight and knows how to get him "ball". I think he can limit his shooting and be more of a distributor if told to and we can go to a more conventional line up with bass at the 4. His contract is only a year more like you said and its less. The cons tho is that hes getting older and is on the decline so it could get ugly at least rashard has a game where he doesnt need to be on the move a lot so we know what we'll get from him the next few years -
Money>>>>championship
If you feel that way take the money and shut up, sleep in the bed you make. -

yea i agree with the bolded. it'd def give us some options bc we could keep the 1 in-4 out and put ryan in shards spot and get similar results, or go with bass for rebounding.
i really think hedo is on the decline. i caught a couple toronto games and he just didnt have it. maybe its because he was that unhappy, but he didnt look sharp -
my bad i forgot to post this hahaha ball

lmao @ the awkward pause -
Lookin at.......Orlando and Hedo both ? ' up. Hedo leaves a championship contending team for the Money, now he wants out of Toronto. Orlando didnt want to give hedo the money, so they let him walk. They lose Rafer, who was playing good on the team and could have been a backup for jameer. Traded Courtney Lee and some picks for VC. All these players fitted in good with the Magic, which made them a better team last year and not this year.

We offered Hedo a reasonable contract he just chose to get more with another team. Skip wasnt tryna be a back up Pg so we traded him and as much as i hate the frail ass ? the move for VC was necessary after losing Turk so we made it
