What did the guy do, get a couple of steals? He's no upgrade over what we have. Talk about chasing a fad. Yeah, the guy was on TV a lot recently because his team was in the championship - so we should go get him! I'd take Martell on a broken foot over Ariza.

I was so, so impressed by Turkoglu in the playoffs. I didn't know he was so multi-faceted....but it just doesn't feel quite right. Even if he were 28 I might feel differently. Someone posted elsewhere that all of the trades, D Miles, Steve Francis, etc etc etc etc etc, was it all to......sign Hedo Turkoglu? I guess it's somewhat anti-climactic. Well written, Dwight.

ESPN says we are interested in him, but why arent we WAY INTERESTED IN HIM? Ariza makes more since for so many reasons. And even though Suke didnt like my Ariza suggestion on air because Turk "is a better player", what about 4 years from now? 1. Ariza would be cheaper 2. Ariza is a better defender and doesnt need the ball as much as Hedo 3. Ariza is 24, which means he is still improving. while Hedo is 30 and has probably plateaued. Not to mention Ariza is the same age as all of our "stars" 4. Ariza has championship experience. PLEASE GET ARIZA KP. HEDO WILL NOT WIN US THE CHAMPIONSHIP NEXT SEASON AND BY THE TIME WE COULD ACTUALLY WIN ONE, HE WILL BE OLD, GETTING WORSE, AND MAKING $10 MILLION A YEAR. ARIZA MAKES WAAAAAAAAAY MORE SENSE!!! ARIZA!!

Ariza makes more since for so many reasons. And even though Suke didnt like my Ariza suggestion on air because Turk “is a better player”, what about 4 years from now?

1. Ariza would be cheaper
2. Ariza is a better defender and doesnt need the ball as much as Hedo
3. Ariza is 24, which means he is still improving. while Hedo is 30 and has probably plateaued. Not to mention Ariza is the same age as all of our “stars”
4. Ariza has championship experience.

PLEASE GET ARIZA KP. HEDO WILL NOT WIN US THE CHAMPIONSHIP NEXT SEASON AND BY THE TIME WE COULD ACTUALLY WIN ONE, HE WILL BE OLD, GETTING WORSE, AND MAKING $10 MILLION A YEAR. ARIZA MAKES WAAAAAAAAAY MORE SENSE!!!

Three quality ballhandlers to go with two big men who can post and dish Arvydas great points as usual Keep in mind, this isn't the only move they are working on. Hedo will also allow Batum more time to develop and we are set at the sf position for years... This is looking good Blue you know that is the exact lineup that KP has in mind!

Turk can play the point, as he did in the fourth quarter nearly the whole Boston series, which opens up even more minutes assuming we don't upgrade the point guard position because it allows him and Roy to be on the floor together....

He provides consistency, leadership, and is a solid off the court role model. He was a large contributor to Orlando's success this year (Mr. Clutch), will create a lot of mismatches with his freakish abilities for his size, and take the load off of Roye. Plus... Is anyone really sold on M. Webster? There may be a lot of potential there, but his health is disconcerting, and is he a championship caliber player in the next 2-3 years? With a Hedo addition and Aldridge and Oden improving their defensive presence.. The sky's the limit for years to come! Go Blazers! Hedo’s a stud!
