Yea right, where was Hedo, when we needed him most in the playoffs against the Lakers some years ago? Clanking iron, and causing turnovers, such a huge letdown.

[crc21209]

Hedo has fucking sucked balls these playoffs...just watch the games and check the stats....he's not worth the money the Magic are paying him!

[bdictjames]

Hedo is the best player the Magic have.

Hedo struggled last night, true. But overall in these playoffs, Hedo has excelled.

I am very proud of him.

Go Magic! :)

hedo disappears too often in games - I'm never upset when the spurs get rid of inconsistent players

You'd have a pretty talented front line and no one to bring the ball up the court when half most of the guard rotation is on the IR eight weeks into the season.

[manufan10]

You serious? Hello!! Have you heard of Dwight Howard?

Dwight Howard is an offensive liability. If he's not 5 feet from the basket he has nothing. He's making Perkins and Big Baby look like All-Defensive team type players. Heck even defensive player of the year! He also can't make a FT. Hedo is one of their best players.

Uh, Hedo is afraid of contact and taking the ball to the hole.

[DMX7]

Hedo is horrible.

[lefty]

Some people here bash him, and I'm not Hedo's biggest fan, BUT...

...we could have used him this postseason; he is big, he can handle the ball, take it to the rim, pass, and hit big shots

[angel_luv]

awww! I just read on Wikipedia that Hedo and his wife became parents to a baby girl, Ela this past February!

aw! congrats Hedo! :D

Wrong forum.





Again

[ploto]

Hedo is actually a pretty decent defender and an excellent rebounder at the SF spot. They put the ball in his hands late in games, much like the Spurs have used Manu in that capacity.

Wrong yet again.

That's why the starting lineup would include Leandro Barbosa. And I would give Barbosa instructions to pass to John Salmons from time to time. Both of those guys belong on the list.

[EricB]

Except for Leandro Barbosa was never intended to be on the Spurs, just like John Salmons.

Bitching about trading them away is pointless.

[ducks]

kind of like posting here
but it is still fun

[poop]

Fuck Hedo for being good with sacramento, then great for orlando a fcking decade into his career, all while sucking ass for us during what should have been his prime in the middle of his career.

[GSH]

Just having fun. I wouldn't waste any serious time bitching about any of them. What's done is done. Salmons was a project, and it's pretty remarkable that he's come this far. And even if a lot of people have forgotten, when SJax was here, there were plenty of articles and posts talking about how he lost as many games as he won. The Scola story has been beaten completely to death. And Hedo is really, really good - except when he isn't.

The only one I really regret is Barbosa. The Spurs knew how fast he was, and that he had decent PG skills. I know they got a protected future first round pick for him, but I always got the impression that they would have liked to keep him. Did they owe that trade to Phoenix for something? I know that Alex Garcia was supposed to be at least as fast, and he was waiting in the wings - but the injury really prevented him from having a serious chance.

Anyway, the lineup is impressive. But if you tried to make a starting lineup out of them, you would probably get a good draft pick the next year.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

It would have been tough to have the big 3, and Hedo, and still fill out a roster with Hedo earning $6M per season.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I'll admit, I was impressed with Hedo last night. Game seven, on the road, and he came to play. Where did this guy come from?

[boutons_deux]

Hedo's not a tough-minded guy, but he's grown and improved a hell of a lot since 03/04.

In Jameer's absence, he often brings the ball across mid-court and initiates the offense, 6ft 10in PG!

[angel_luv]

I'll admit, I was impressed with Hedo last night. Game seven, on the road, and he came to play. Where did this guy come from?

It was the pre game pizza- according to game announcers. :lol

[angel_luv]

Yep...I would take him back, but with a paycut.

I love and really miss Hedo.

However, I hope he does not come back here. I don't think the Spurs are a good fit for Hedo and I would prefer Hedo be where he will excel.

[crc21209]

Screw Hedo...so he had ONE good game in the Playoffs...every other game he was just complete trash....totally not worth the money.

[ducks]

It would have been tough to have the big 3, and Hedo, and still fill out a roster with Hedo earning $6M per season.

the mle is basically 6 million a year now

[Mel_13]

the mle is basically 6 million a year now

Bad timing.

In the summer of 2004, the Spurs had Tim on a max deal and Malik and Rasho in the middle of 42M deals. That summer they signed Manu to his 52M deal and Tony to his 66M deal. There was no way to match the 38M deal Hedo got from the Magic.

That was 324M in contract commitments made from the summer of 2002 to the summer of 2004. Not too shabby for a cheap team. (this remark has nothing to do with your post, ducks. I just never realized how much money the Spurs laid out in those three summers)

[rayray2k8]

[afireinside20]

Hedo is a piece of trash

[ducks]

hedo is greater then what spurs have right now at that spot now

[ploto]

Spurs spent the money on Brent Barry instead that summer.


I don't think the Spurs are a good fit for Hedo and I would prefer Hedo be where he will excel.

Actually, Hedo is the long 3 the Spurs needed, found, and then let go.

[ploto]

...all while sucking ass for us during what should have been his prime...

Hedo was only 24 years old when he played for the Spurs. People never quite got that.

[lefty]

Damn, Turko delivering again :wow

[boutons_deux]

Huge 4th qtr for Hedo, most of his points, assists, playmaking, leading the team

[50 cent]

I think Pop just destroyed TurkeyGlue's confidence. Pop didn't allow him to make any mistakes and he is streaky player.

I bet Taruky is masterbating to a TurkeyGlue bobblehead doll as I type this.

I missed the game but saw the highlights. Awesome!

Go Hedo! Go Magic!

[boutons_deux]

I was amazed at how relaxed he was in crunch time, smiling and smiling, coming out of time outs. Maybe JVG is quite the comedian? :)

[Sportcamper]

When all is said & done Hedo Turkoglu will be remembered as one of the greatest players in the history of the NBA…He is clearly the best player in the Orlando/Cavs series…

[MI21]

Hedo was never going to excel with the Spurs. The Spurs offense runs heavily through either Timmy, Tony or Manu. When its running like a well oiled machine, it runs through all 3 evenly. Hedo is at his best initiating the play and with the ball in his hands as he is a very good ballhandler and passer. As good as he may be now, he would never have gotten the chance to be the same type of player he is at the Magic and due to the options the Spurs have, that was the right decision.

As a stand still shooter, he sucked balls for the Spurs when it mattered and that was all he ever would be with the Spurs... a stand still shooter.

I like him now though, he is a very unique player and its amazing to see someone perform consistently well in pressure situations after sucking so hard just a few years earlier.

[Budkin]

Still another great fourth quarter with the 3 to tie it, drawing the foul, and the basket to take the lead.

[Spursfan092120]

Refs call that obvious technical foul, Orlando gets a free throw, Mo doesn't hit that 3 because Orlando has the ball. Just saying.

Yep for some reason I saw him out there and them celebrating and then looked at him again and thought of the .4 I swear to you, then it happened again to a team he was on!


I swear as good as he is playing something will always happen bad to a team with him on it from This, to .4 and then to HORRY'S big three against Sac! See that team celebrating and then see him out there then see you are FUKKED!

They almost did last night, even with Dwight Howard's low scoring game and being down by a lot at the beginning.

[Bukefal]

Hedo is the best player the Magic have.
:lmao seriously?

[ploto]

People got mad at me before when I said that Hedo's fourth quarter role on the Magic is like what the Spurs used to do with Manu. Put the ball in his hands and let him make the decisions- to set someone else up or to shoot himself. You can see in these games what I meant.

Every time the Spurs go small I remember how perfect Hedo would have been at the PF slot alongside Tim in a small line up. I see: Tim, Hedo, Bruce, Manu, and Tony...

[angel_luv]

Hedo in last night's win- 13 points ( made 11 out of 12 of his free throw shots) 10 rebounds, 7 assists and a steal. :)

Hedo could not make a shot to save his life, but he made the one there near the end and he got to the line to score somehow. I have said for some time that his rebounding is an underappreciated aspect of his contribution.

Go Magic!!

15 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists from Hedo in the win tonight. :)

Please move along

[ploto]

He tried to get inside and draw some fouls in OT but to not avail.

But he did have the nice assist to Lewis and the right idea about how to inbound the ball late in OT.

[angel_luv]

Hedo scored 29 points ( the most of anyone on his team) and had 6 rebounds 2 assists and 2 steals in what was almost a great comeback win by the Magic.

[angel_luv]

Funny story about Hedo. In his season with the Spurs P.J. called everybody in to talk to the team. He said "Now I've been hearing a lot of different names for our newest player. Hi-do, who-da, He-di. So from now on Hedo, your name is Mike."

:lol I remember hearing that.

Imagine if Howard could finish at the rim off a dive to the basket without having to bring the ball down.

Someone needs to inform Dwight that it's 2 points no matter how hard you slam it down.(But I guess he was looking to get some in-game free-throw practice:smokin)

True, D12 choked his azz off. There was no damn Horry to bail him out 05 style in game 5 (YES TD CHOKED that game and I LOVE HIM). TD atleast mada FT or so down the stretch to tie it I believe, D12 made NONE.
