A Turk Tidbit

[Crimson the Cat]

Several general managers and agents in the NBA believe that the Portland Trail Blazers — a rising club like the Magic — might offer the stiffest competition to sign Turkoglu. The Detroit Pistons, Toronto Raptors and Atlanta Hawks also have salary-cap room to put Turkoglu in play.

Evidently Pritchard's looking to sign the entire NBA at this point.

Don't forget Nash and Shaq! Jeez. How are we supposed to win without them!

It really is like watching a master at work with KP and the staff, and how many feelers they put out before the draft and how they keep the rest of the NBA guessing. It's like an art form.

And then there's always this:

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Hedo Turkoglu emptied his locker, shook hands with teammates and walked out of the Orlando Magic's practice facility Tuesday.

The Magic are optimistic it wasn't the last time.

Chief operating officer Alex Martins said the team is prepared to go over the luxury tax for the first time in its history, perhaps giving the Magic the space they need to re-sign the soon-to-be free agent Turkoglu and remain a contender to return to the NBA finals.

"The luxury tax won't be a hindrance," Martins said.

Wow Paul Allen better start making more money...

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

If we were to go after Turk (and I strongly doubt it), we'd have to dump both Outlaw & Webster as they're not going to take bit parts with the team. Like that'll happen.

Now, if we really wanted to make a change at SF, I'd try and get Prince. Much better all around player and leader.

Dropping Outlaw and Webster for Turk is a no brainer. He is flat out better than both of them.

But I agree with you in that I too strongly doubt they will go after him.

Meh. We're really weak at backup power forward.

Or at least trying to make it look like that to the rest of the league. Like a good general in a war, you flood the intelligence channels with lots of fake messages to draw attention away from the real ones.

So we're really going after _ (insert player we've heard zip about).

Right. It makes predicting the next move near to impossible. But, way fun!

I hear Josh Smith will be backing up Lamarcus.

I doubt Chris Bosh will like that...

Think of poor DeJuan Blair, having to be fifth string after a nice college career.
