Hedo Turkoglu wants to get out of Toronto?

[The C]

Linky

When the circumstances turned against me, I lost my enthusiasm for this city. My lawyers have talked to the front office recently. Honestly, I do not want to go back to Toronto. My lawyers talked to Mr. Colangelo and I hope that they will come up with a solution soon.During this process I talked to [Raptors head coach] Jay Triano several times. 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.

No one wants his contract right?

This has been known for a while...

No one will take that contract...Well actually, I think the Magic would take it for say Lewis straight up or Gortat and Bass.

I think Hedo will come in shape next season. He was pure garbage no other way to put it. This interview is a joke. The guy didn't come into camp in shape and looked disinterested half the time. He shouldn't act like the Toronto fans are out to get him. Everyone was happy when he signed despite the fact that he didn't deserve that deal as a 30 year old contract year player.

Who wants him?

He left the perfect situation in Orlando to get more money and I'm 99% sure they wouldn't want him back there. He's a square peg in a round hole almost everywhere else. If Amar'e doesn't leave, I could see the Suns being a good fit, maybe. Although I doubt Sarver wants that contract.

Ha! That karma sure is a bitch. Now he wants out after burning the Blazers to go there. No sympathy here.

Re: Hedo Turkoglu want to get out of Toronto?

The only chance he has is with the 76ers if for some reason they are that desperate to unload Brand and even then it's a stretch.

The Lakers/Bulls won't take Hedo due to cap reasons (both can barely make Bosh work, let alone another 10 mil/year work) and giving up Hedo for Gilbert/ORL/Dallas is a pipe dream.

Hedo better enjoy Toronto's next few lottery years because that's the best he's doing.



To be fair, I and every other non-hoser knew this was an awful deal from the start.

Yes you have made that quite clear. lol

But that's irrelevant. When the signing happened most Toronto fans including me were happy about it. Now he is saying the fans are turning on him? Please.

Re: Hedo Turkoglu wants to get out of Toronto?

I wonder if getting Bosh in a S&T would be a lot easier if the other team was willing to absorb Turkoglu...

Could be interesting.

Regarding the thread title.....Toronto wants to get out of Hedo Turkoglu.

For sure...

I'd accept 2 cents on the dollar if it meant getting rid of Turk.

But deals like that are rather complicated man. That is a lot of cash going one way.

Another thing is, I don't think Bosh liked playing with Turk. Turk didn't help out Bosh's game in any way like people had thought...

Well, unlike in Toronto, Bosh would likely be playing with LeBron...so I'm fairly certain that Turk would be stapled to the bench and only play backup PF/SF minutes.

Re: Hedo Turkoglu want to get out of Toronto?

Most Toronto fans, much like all fans, are idiots.

If you would have listened to me from the get-go you would not be in this position.

Unfortunately, you were not as smart as me and you now have three immovable contracts for 10+ million a year.

Congrats, you've made the most irrelevant team in American sports even more irrelevant.

You're like a broken record...

Not as smart as you? LOL. WTF is that? Like I give a **** dude.

You're hate for anything Canadian is quite pathetic and sad.

When ever you see a thread about the Raptors you can expect Cebby to make some lame posts about how Toronto is a worthless destination, city and will never amount to anything.

We get it you don't like Canada. Move on.

Bro, Turk and Bosh would be in the 25 million range.

You think you guys have the contracts to match that?

I'm sure they could find something. Don't forget, the Cavaliers could sign and trade Shaq to a 1 year contract, could shorten then burden with Jamison or Mo, Delonte's 4.5 mill is only 500K guaranteed and various other options including 3 team trades.

They'd have to be creative, but yeah, they could do it.

Re: Hedo Turkoglu want to get out of Toronto?

LOL.

Why did you edit your post?

Broken Record.

"Listening to me"...LOL you're cool dude.

Re: Hedo Turkoglu want to get out of Toronto?

As per always Cebby derails another thread about the Raptors because of his juvenile hatred.

Must stem from that Mo-Pete miracle hoist from a few years ago cause the Wiz and Raps have no rivalry whatsoever.

Hated isn't good for the heart bro.

Anyways, can we get back on topic. Cool.

Re: Hedo Turkoglu want to get out of Toronto?

Yeah, get back on topic. This childish crap has no business on this forum.
