Thoughts? He will be released at 5 today and it is reported we have interest

hmmm. i guess with Demarre having some injuries but still i'm not sure what he gives us exactly. I guess it can't hurt. Wonder if that means we'd let Cartier go. I like Cartier.

I didn't even know he was still alive. This doesn't even remotely excite me either.

Does Hedo have anything left though? Can he still play SF? If he can I guess he gives us size on the wing.He won't give us much defensively - hopefully he can still shoot.His greatest asset to us will be his ball handling. (DMC dribbling the ball is a disaster waiting to happen).When Teague is on the bench we sometimes struggle with ball handling.I guess a non-guaranteed contract could work but that would mean cutting someone (I think).

Hedo is an very good passer as well. Hedo and Bud go way back (03-04 Spurs), so I could see us signing him.

Another Euro PF who plays like a SF??

[GrimeyKidd]

I think the nba has sort an injured reserve system so i dont think we need to cut anyone

[capstone21]

I don't think he has any gas left but I do like is BBIQ, size, passing and shooting.

Was Hedo ever a PF? I always thought of him as Kukoc like. A huge SF who thinks he's a PG.

As far as I know he's been a SF who played PF in a small lineup sometimes.

Yip, he played SF most of the time

[MrMeltdown]

If he had something left this would not be bad to add NBA type talent.

[capstone21]

I would take a chance with the vet min but no more then that

[vdunkndunk]

Looks like he averaged between 9 to 11 ppg over the last four years - now he's barely playing and has a PER below 4. Doesn't sound like he can help us much but I'm not opposed to adding him.

The main thing I remember about him is that in our Magic games, every time they put him in the game, I was thrilled because I knew he would either throw away the ball, double dribble, or chuck a 3 and miss. No thank you.

"BALL!"

[HawkItus]

Well, he is better than what we are getting from Jenkins and Cunningham. Gives us a good sized ball handler off the bench. Does Martin even play anymore? lol

If he is healthy he can make open threes. Not sure he is an upgrade over Cartier.

I approve this signing. A 6'10" small forward that can slash and hit 3's... Sign me up. We need some height on this team and Turks is 3" taller than our tallest wing player. Hell, he's taller than Sap and Horf.

C - Brand

PF - Sap

SF - Turks

SG - KK

PG - Teague

Not bad considering the injuries to Horf and DMC. Plus, Turks is an expiring contract.
