Hedo Turkoglu to the Suns for Leandro Barbosa

**ZetaPsi808** · 07-11-10, 11:30 PM

turjoglu is a bum lmao

**beanbag** · 07-11-10, 11:49 PM

hahaha nice pick up haha

**jsmithj88** · 07-11-10, 11:55 PM

did he play PF in orlando??

**THEGREAT30** · 07-12-10, 12:01 AM

He played SF and where is this confirmed?

**nbarlotta3** · 07-12-10, 12:07 AM

That's a good pickup for the Suns. There's no way he can replace Amare though.

**cecbo** · 07-12-10, 12:14 AM

No way he is a power forward! He is a small forward with offensive skills to play the 2 at times but will get beat if he has to defend the other team's 2.

**Mr Windy City** · 07-12-10, 12:14 AM

Nice pickup for Toronto. Guy can shoot the ball.

**joe blow** · 07-12-10, 12:16 AM

Another bad move for the suns

**Marauders** · 07-12-10, 12:41 AM

Turkoglu never worked out in Toronto. Good job by B.C. to move him and his contract off the team.

too lazy to dig up a link but one of Phoenix's newspapers have a story on it

if you go to rotoworld they have Barbosa as a Rap, so i guess its confirmed

**Diesel79** · 07-12-10, 12:58 AM

It might work out pretty well.... with Phoenix run and gun system he can easily average 20 per game

**jsmithj88** · 07-12-10, 12:58 AM

its on cnnsi.com
whos gonna rebound the ball?
this suns team had a little bit of defense and is even worse off with hedo

**DrAwInGdEaD** · 07-12-10, 01:01 AM

nice pickup

**atoney** · 07-12-10, 01:06 AM

who would want that contract

**TGHMak** · 07-12-10, 02:50 AM

I can't believe the raptors was able to get rid of that horrible contract

**Preston09** · 07-12-10, 03:07 AM

I think I kinda like that pick up

**Foals** · 07-12-10, 04:20 AM

I think the trade works well for both teams

**zafzaf** · 07-12-10, 04:31 AM

it's very hard to play at pf position for hedo..but in other way now that he will play for suns he can also gain advantages offensively w/ great ball handling and passing skills

**Bradyd** · 07-12-10, 05:34 AM

I expect from him to be better with Phoenix than his was with Toronto. However, I don't see him being as good as he was with the Magic..

**stikymess** · 07-12-10, 06:53 AM

Waste of money, a white version of Frye great during regular season then disappers in playoffs.

**lunchbawks** · 07-12-10, 09:05 AM

hedo was a huge mistake at 12 million/ year. nice move colangelo on aquiring barbosa, he's a much better fit than turk.

**hels** · 07-12-10, 09:33 AM

hedo was garbage in TO. He wanted out and every fan wanted him gone. Great Job by BC for once!!!

**lolbear** · 07-12-10, 11:03 AM

i think he will work out bette rthan he did in TOR but worse than ORL

**Jshap1515** · 07-12-10, 11:07 AM

I think it makes the Suns a better team but definitely not a contender so it's not worth it.

**suicidekings** · 07-12-10, 11:49 AM

Nice pickup for the Raptors. He'll fit in nicely with them and Hedo leaving is definitely for the best.

Agreed. This isn't confirmed yet but will probably go through this trade. The Raps will move out Hedo for Barbosa and with the sign and trade that Bosh was part of it will be part of a 3 way trade with the Bobcats and Diaw will be on his way to T.O. Thats what I've been hearing.

**maquina** · 07-12-10, 12:19 PM

nice pick.

**Congruency** · 07-12-10, 02:09 PM

its looking like a 3 way trade basically:

Toronto trades Hedo Turkoglu and Reggie Evans (Lou's replacement?) to Phoenix and Jose Calderon to Charlotte
Toronto receives Leandro Barbosa, Boris Diaw, Tyson Chandler

Phoenix trades Leandro Barbosa to Toronto and $12MM of Amare TPE to Charlotte
Phoenix receives Hedo Turkoglu and Reggie Evans

Charlotte trades Boris Diaw and Tyson Chandler to Toronto
Charlotte receives Jose Calderon and $12MM of Phoenix's Amare TPE

**jollyoscars** · 07-12-10, 02:49 PM

good trade for both!

**Duby** · 07-12-10, 03:45 PM

Good trade for Toronto...They got rid of THE MISTAKE (Hedo) and they did not really need Calderon anymore (He cant play defense anyways) and Evans....well that guy will never be in shape...lol

**Congruency** · 07-13-10, 12:39 AM

now its being held up because Jordan is being a douche

hope no one trades with him again lol
