FCP Bob 1,312 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 he said today on espn that chicago never even offered him a contract, that really surprised meNo team that has Ben Gordon as a significant part of it can ever contend for a title.Him coming off the bench in a Vinnie Johnson role and playing limited minutes on a good team for instant offense with the second unit would be possible.Don't really want to pay $10 million for a guy who is only a bit better than Eddie House.

FCP Bob 1,312 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 turk probably backing out and going to raptors. who knows http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=A...o&type=lgns Source: Turkoglu changes mind on BlazersBy Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports 2 hours, 41 minutes ago Free agent Hedo Turkoglu(notes) has backed out of his commitment to the Portland Trail Blazers and plans to sign with the Toronto Raptors, a source close to the talks told Yahoo! Sports on Friday night.Turkoglu had agreed on a five-year, $50 million deal with the Blazers, but changed his mind and could be headed for a five-year, $56 million deal with the Raptors. Toronto would have to renounce three free agents – Shawn Marion(notes), Carlos Delfino(notes) and Anthony Parker(notes) – to create the cap space for Turkoglu.Apparently, the Blazers are already busy exploring other free-agent options for the $9 million in salary-cap space.A source says Turkoglu’s wife wanted badly to live in Toronto, a far more European-style city, and that’s where it appears the Turkish native is headed. The Raptors have embraced the Euro game under GM Bryan Colangelo, building a roster that includes Euro talents Jose Calderon(notes) and Andrea Bargnani(notes).Five years ago, Turkoglu was close to signing with the Phoenix Suns that Colangelo was running, but changed his mind and went to the Orlando Magic.After opting out of his contract last week in Orlando, he became one of the hottest free agents on the market. Turkoglu, 30, averaged 16.8 points and 5.3 rebounds last season for the Magic. Link to post Share on other sites

CaneBrain 95 Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 i have a friend who is a lakers fan and is pretty upset he loves arizaI think it is questionable how much of an upgrade Artest is over Ariza. Not on talent obviously....but will Ron behave/accept being a role player/etc.One good point made by someone on TV was that now Kobe will NEVER have to guard the other team's best perimeter player. Thats a big plus for LA.If San Antonio or Boston get Rasheed Wallace, they will be just as loaded as the Lakers. Link to post Share on other sites
