Turkoglu Doesn't Want a Trade

Dwight Howard might want to be traded to the Nets, but Hedo Turkoglu doesn't...although he did say he'd like to play with "Superman" until he retires.
In an interview with FOX Sports' Chris Tomasson, Turkoglu also swears he has something left in the tank.
"My dream is to finish my career in Orlando," Turkoglu, a 6-foot-10 forward, said. "But sometimes you might end up with a nightmare," apparently a reference to a trade, not necessarily to the Nets. New Jersey is willing to take on both his contract and that of Chris Duhon to get Howard...and are preserving their assets.
He's already been traded twice since he signed his big contract with the Raptors following his career season in 2009, once to the Suns and then back to the Magic. Still, he adds, "I would love to finish my career with him," meaning Howard

Turk too bad!
You are the Billips of this trade so deal with it or retire

I agree
I would definitely welcome Turk here.
Dwill
Brooks (crossing my fingers)
Turk
AK47
DHow
would be a very good lineup.
Turk brings shooting and passing. Dwill and Brooks can play off Turk.
“Certain things, I try to control,” Turkoglu said. "I don’t think I can control (being traded). I prepare myself to try to go out there and compete. . . . No matter what I do, where I go, I have to still go out there and do the same thing even if I’m (with Orlando) or I get traded somewhere else.’’

What a coincidence!?!? We don't want you either....
If you don’t want Brooklyn/NJ, we don’t want you and your cap killing contract!
WE DONT WANT YOU EITHER
in fact no one wants you…..your contract is the worst in the nba…..deal with it or go cry like girl…
We'll let you go, Hedo...really, we will. Forfeit you contract and you are free to go back to Orlando.
Oh wait, you don’t want to give up your cash?? Ok, than please shut up.
I support the Giants like bras support Kim Kardashian's boobs. It can be a struggle, we've had some jiggles, but we're still firm.

tough nuts
you’re being moved, simple as that. but hey, if you want to try to convince Otis not to trade you, fine by me. just don’t expect any assets in return
i think most peaple will agree with me
We dont need Turk either!!!

I like Hedo
I dont think he’s done and I think he, D-WIll and D12 would work very well together.

this
I think he is a great talent & still has alot in the tank. Plus he would be a nice compliment on this team will a void of talent if DH12 was here as well. Honestly, him going to Phx screwed him all up as for what his “role on a team” is or what coaches want from him, (if you understand what I’m trying to say here)!! But that contract!?!? Maaannnnnnnnnn…….shessh

better than our current roaster
But I’m not all in to him.
Actually Hedo should have a ball with a lot of time.
But if Deron took a ball for a long time, he would be disappear in the game.
When he was in Suns, he proved that.
Well, but, again, it will be better than right now and last season.
1 - D. Williams / J. Farmar / S. Gaines
2 - A. Morrow / M. Brooks
3 - D.James / S. Graham / S. Williams / I. Udoka
4 - S. Williams / J. Williams
5 - B. Lopez / J. Petro
I agree NI, but
if he doesn’t want to play here, could we trade for him and buy him out, or is that not allowed under the new CBA?
RIP baby. I love you forever. Our dream of seeing D12 with the Nets is getting closer.
He is $35M of bleh
We could trade him for a pu pu platter of bad contracts. But amongst the contracts we could get a useful but overpaid player like S-Jax or Magette

Actually
I don’t care what Turk will be. I just focus on DH12 not him.
This is just a Magic’s problem not us. If he wants to buy out or waive, Nets would do that.
Also,
Dwight wants to come to Nets, but if Magic doesn’t wanna trade him with any deal, he couldn’t come.
Hedo wants to stay the Magic, but if Magic wants to trade somewhere, he should get out of Magic.
1 - D. Williams / J. Farmar / S. Gaines
2 - A. Morrow / M. Brooks
3 - D.James / S. Graham / S. Williams / I. Udoka
4 - S. Williams / J. Williams
5 - B. Lopez / J. Petro
Are you serious?
Do you really think the Nets or any other team for that matter, would waive him? That means that they would have to pay him all his money, have that money count against the cap, and get absolutely nothing in the return
I hate his contract, but he’s better than almost anything that the Nets could currently get for the 2.5mil exception.
Try to show a little class...
The bashing of players here is getting a little sad especially coming from fans of a franchise which hasn’t had much going for it over the years. Hedo did not say anything specifically bad about NJ in the article, nor did he say he would retire or whatever if he was traded. He simply said he doesn’t want to be traded and he’s entitled to that. Nobody wants to be uprooted. He’s just responding to what was asked.
There’s no need to say “your garbage” or “we don’t want you”. That’s not the welcome you want to give to a player who may end up being your starter. He’s a decent player and if he felt comfortable and welcomed he may actually put of some nice numbers. But if people are trashing him before he even gets here and/or booing him if he does come, that’s not going to make somebody give their best.
I don’t know just a rant but lets show a little class.

Trade Kicker
Is it a one-time deal? Or does it apply everytime he gets traded?

by alexcontreras on Dec 19, 2011 7:51 PM EST via mobile reply actions
He should just retire
another huge dud with no skills or talent what so ever
Dwight or Bust
Nets lose 33+ games this season.
Follow @Meer2Fly16
so now we resort to insulting players SMH
