It appears that Hedo Turkoglu's days as a Raptor may soon be over, just one year after he arrived in Toronto on a five-year, $53 million contract via a sign-and-trade deal with the Orlando Magic.
According to the Basketball Jones blog, Turkoglu was interviewed recently on Turkish television, where he revealed that he is actively seeking a release from the Raptors.
Turkoglu was fined and then benched late in the season after allegedly being spotted at a nightclub just hours after missing a game with a stomach virus.
In a translation of the interview, Turkoglu described his situation:
"When the cir stances 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," said Turkoglu.
"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," said Turkoglu.
The veteran forward, 31, played 74 games for the Raptors last season and averaged 11.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.1 assists for Toronto. He logged nearly 31 minutes per game for the Raptors.

lol Raptors
lol Turkoglu
lol want
Big time
Lol VC
Spurs will probably get him back.
Hedo was dog all year.
If you dont want to come back then ask them to void your contract...
But of course he wont do that.
Hedo was really no worse in Toronto than he was in Orlando, and he was no better in Orlando than Wince Harder has been. Or don't you remember his chokejob in the 2009 Finals?
Portland suffered through a season filled with misfortune, but the day that Hedo broke his agreement with the Blazers was one of the luckiest days in franchise history.
What a tool. He wants a solution? Give up the 40M left on the contract. I'm sure the Raptors will let him go without a second thought.
Time for Hedo to go on the Kobe campaign (2007).
Same old chicken Turkoglu.
Hopefully Turkoglu's contract gets voided and Colangelo is fired. A man can dream.
He's correct. Toronto used him wrongly. Triano took the ball out of his hands and limited the use of his playmaking. Then called isolation sets for him instead of putting him in the pick and roll when they needed big baskets in the fourth quarter. I'd be mad at them too. They showed they have no idea on how to use his strengths.
sons this is just another reason why professional athletes are over paid. this piece of doesn't deserve that ridiculous contract and everyone knows it. its a shame someone won't just take out his knees and end his career.
I wonder if he'd like to play on my league team. We could use a spot up shooter.
I have noticed the same thing
otis, get on the phone
hedo >rj
hedo with manu,tp, duncan blair and spliter
I'm sure the Magic would love to do a VC-Hedo swap now...
Orlando would have lost to Boston last year if KG was healthy. Basically, Hedo wouldn't have made a difference.
Get a fat contract, then say you want out. Raptor have it bad.
This is a primadonna.
Never wanted you for the Blazers in the first place anyway.

Charlotte might trade for him.
