What is up with Hedo Turkoglu? He seems fatigued most of the time. Is he sick, hurt, or was it just playing too much ball over the past 2 years? |

![]() Because hes a fucking lazy fatass who BC jumped the gun to spend our precious cap space on without looking at the big picture.
Triano hasnt used him as much yes, but when the guy needs breathers 6 minutes into the fucking quarter that just isnt acceptable and he shouldnt be getting more touches when he isnt playing any defence nor his conditioning is up to par. Get in shape then we'll talk. |

![]() its his age combined with his conditioning, probably has caught up with him. You can only get away with being out of shape in basketball for so long before you start to wear. Hedo peaked 2 season's ago on a roster that was meant for his game, the biggest defensive beast in the league to compensate for his D and cleanup his low percentage chucks, exellent shooting pg's with limited distribution skills, orlando was the place for hedo to overachieve in a big way and he did

![]() Its the first year on a five year contract. He's gonna earn his highest pay in the decline years of his career. Just like Peja, let your rep and past play earn you the contract, and enjoy the money while your production slowly decline over the years.

Either way I don't think we can afford to have an unathletic, out of shape small forward period; unless we had a dominant shot blocker down low, which we don't. The fact that we have Bargnani down low is irrelevant. |

Turkoglu or Calderon.... one of them has to go. I think atleast 90% of the forum agrees with that. |

![]() bargnani is very quick, he's just not strong enough. However, he's willing and showing signs of great improvement in that aspect, and maybe even next season he'll be strong enough to stand-up to any center in the game today.
as far as turkoglu, he's not conditioned well enough. He lost too much time this summer with the national team, and than the injury during training camp prevented him for getting into good shape. He's not very athletic to begin with, so that's not helping. I think he will get better as the season progresses. That being said, I think he's doing a good job on D. Many complained about his defense when we signed him, but apart for a few games against very athletic SFs, he's far from being a liability on D. It's funny people cry for marion and his defense, but get on hedu's back for his offense ... |
