Man, I was really hoping Hedo would be a Blazer! I’m a little bummed, but i am a huge Rudy Fernandez fan and I hope he stays in Portland. It’s been reported that he can make around $7 million oversees while he is currently making $1.1 million with the Blazers. I hate to say it, but i would probably want to jump ship for that kind of money.
This is what SLAMonline had to say about Hedo’s decision
Turkoglu changed his mind, and will reportedly now become a Raptor: “Free agent Hedo Turkoglu has backed out of his commitment to the Portland Trail Blazers and plans to sign with the Toronto Raptors, a source close to the talks told Yahoo! Sports on Friday night. Turkoglu had agreed on a five-year, $50 million deal with the Blazers, but changed his mind and could be headed for a five-year, $56 million deal with the Raptors. Toronto would have to renounce three free agents – Shawn Marion, Carlos Delfino and Anthony Parker – to create the cap space for Turkoglu.”
