[TDMVPDPOY]

umm magic team fail.

35m/4 = 8.75m per season

umm wasnt he earning around that price on his previous contract? looks like someone is going to overpay for his services....

[Muser]

Pistons.

[montgod]

Portland

[hater]

Orlando = dumb

[spursfan1000]

Maybe the Magic getting Vince Carter is the reasoning for this? He probably didnt want to go back to Orland because he would have a reduced role. I don't see any teams that could get him.

orlando is d up, they got no depth on their bench

they given away lee and alston for carter....at leasts they wouldve been deep 7 spots...

now if turgo bolts, that leaves a huge spot on their roster in terms of bench production....

I think it's not a good news for SA

The article brings up a good point about Boozer and Howard being close.

I could see a sign & trade involving Boozer for Turkoglu happening. Magic get a rebounding/scoring PF in boozer and Utah gets a scoring SF. Utha can start Milsap at PF, Turkoglu at SF which allows Kirelenko to play more minutes at PF, where he was most effective early in his career as a steal and block machine.

Orlando:
C-Howard
PF-Boozer
SF-Lewis
SG-Carter
PG-Nelson
(SCARY lineup)

Utah
C-Okur
PF-Milsap
SF-Turkoglu
SG-Brewer
PG-Williams
6th Man: Kirilenko

Pistons.

I hope not, and it wouldn't make much sense anyway. Pistons are rebuilding and Hedo is older than Prince. They just drafted three small forwards in the draft and Dumars said all three could likely make the team.

I seriously hope not.

[lefty]

I told you guys that the VC trade was a very very bad thing

[Leetonidas]

Sucks for whoever gets him. I'm not sold that he is or was or ever will be anything special. Hedo.

[JamStone]

Lee, that sig is hilarious. I lol'd.

He's not really anything special when he's forced to be a spot us shooter.

$35 million over 4 years (assuming the 10% raises yearly) is maybe a $300,000 raise next season from the pay he just opted out of.

Are the Pistons the only team in line for his services?

[ploto]

I am hearing that Toronto has a lot of interest in Hedo. I believe they have about $10 or $11 M in room under the cap.

[ChumpDumper]

I don't see his getting much over that offer unless a team is desperate.

Desperate for Hedo?

[JamStone]

I think and I really hope that the Pistons aren't in line for his services.

It makes more sense for Portland. Doesn't make much sense for Detroit.

That would be awesome- especially if Sho were there too.

that team with bosh will never be relevant in the playoffs

Aren't there eventually diminishing returns for whiteness?

idk what's more dreamy/scary, that, or

C - Duncan
PF - Wallace
SF - Jefferson
SG - Ginobili
PG - Parker

if the spurs get wallace, they will be favored next year. even if the lakers resign lamar and trevor.

idk about that, it puts us right back in the mix, but the Lakers still have to be the favourites.

Not if you live in Utah? They have a quota to meet there if they want to keep season ticket holders...
