Hedo Turkoglu turns down Magic offer

[garnett_21]

ESPN is reporting that Hedo Turkoglu turned down a contract offer from the Orlando Magic prior to announcing that he will opt out of his contract. I guess this is why they traded for Vince Carter, as they probably don't expect Hedo to return next season.

Yeah, I figured he would go.

Awesome....this makes the Magic WAY less of a threat.

Who has the money this year to pay him???

[#50 Tyler Hansbrough]

looks like Carter wiil get #15 for the Magic!!! SWEET!!!!!

The Magic are going to miss Hedo next year, he caused so many mismatch problems. Howard now has a guy who wants to shoot the ball everytime in Carter. I give it a few games and Dwight will have Carter in a choke-hold at practice telling him to pass him the ball every so often.

Stan Van Gundy will have some great clips off yelling at Carter next season i think, and i cant wait!

[underdawg]

Wait, didn't everyone expect that?

Doesn't the Magic have the bird rights?

Turk wants $10-11 million next season...he's definitely not worth that. But there are 29 other teams in the NBA, and it's a foregone conclusion that at least one of them has some crackpot in charge willing to pay him what he wants.

But Vince Carter is worth over $16 million next season?

Not sure how that makes more sense than giving Turk $10-$11 million.
