Turkolu heading to Toronto

This kills our chance of trading for Bosh since the Raps wont have a need for Deng and CB4 might want to stay in Canada now.

I sign and trade for Marion. He would fit perfectly in at the 4, give them another shooting and quick forward to provide mismatches on the perimeter. They’re probably the only team that can offer him more than the MLE since none of the teams with cap space are interested. When you’ve got a chance to really go for it all, a good owner won’t mind paying for it, so we’ll see what they do in Florida.

;amen...

this is the WORST case scenario in the Turk sweepstakes in my opinion..as mentioned it hurts our chances with Bosh (no need for deng, and now theres a slight chance he’ll stay) it also makes Toronto more of a contender lessening the chances they’ll unload him at the trade deadline. And Rudy is not on the trading block now who was my new #1 target after BG left..back to the drawing board…

Bosh wants to play with Lebron

he is still leaving. Turk isn’t as good as everyone thinks, he has become pretty overrated this season.

It's the end of our dream to trade for Bosh

We don’t have nothing (beside Roses) that Toronto would want… 2010 is our only hope now

I don't really understand how this is great for the Raptors

It’s a good signing, but it’s not a great signing. Compared to everyone else on their roster, Hedo is quite a bit older, and he seems to duplicate a lot of what Bosh brings to the table, albeit in a somewhat smaller, SFish package.

So now they’ve got
1- Calderon
2- ?
3- Hedo
4- Bosh
5- Bargnani

Its all about the money

why toronto threw this money at turk, so that bosh might consider staying? I think with this move, they now have a chance to be a good team where bosh can be told “one more piece and we will be contending”. But yea i agree its a crap move, a “we have to do something” sort of move. Gah hedo in portland wouldve been nicer (and not just cuz he would make rudy available, all in all the blazers would be a much better team, then adding hinrich to that mix would probably be close to contention depending on how old oden holds up)

True, and it's a step up from a one year rental of broken down AI

So...

…if Bosh were to leave next year, it seems like Toronto could use a halfway decent 3/4 forward and a SG in a sign-and-trade.

Bryan Colangelo is like his dad, only not as intelligent

He created SSOL by signing Nash and hiring D’Antoni, and has been trying to make some kind of FIBA regulated team since 2006.

The Chicago Bulls.....the more profitable Los Angeles Clippers.

Hehehe. From Blazersedge comments. On players they'd now like to pursue

having lost hedo.

For PGs, I like Hinrich. Better defender, not great offensively but better than Blake, etc. He also makes a fair amount, as long as he is your starter and not your backup to your #1 pick PG.
