    Hedo Turkoglu to the Suns for Leandro Barbosa

    Confirmed trade. I heard PHX wants to play him at PF.

    LOL Phoenix.

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

    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.

    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

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

    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

    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..

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

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

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

    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.

    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

    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
