Hedo Traded To Suns

[Pugz]

The Phoenix Suns today acquired forward Hedo Turkoglu from the Toronto Raptors in exchange for guard Leandro Barbosa and forward/center Dwayne Jones, the club has announced. The trade is pending the completion of physicals.

“Hedo is a versatile player and somebody who we always thought would fit into our system,” said Suns Head Coach Alvin Gentry. “He is a good ball handler who can create plays for other people and who can play three different positions. He’ll fit well into what we’re trying to do here.”

I never though Colangelo would be able to ditch Hedo's contract (he'll be making 12 milli when he's 34) but he did and got one of the best sixth man in the league. I think Leandro will excel with Toronto.

Exactly my thoughts. The truth is, he may still be a good player but it wasn't working Toronto and they both needed a new start. I am happy for the Raps that this whole fiasco is done.

are we still getting Diaw for Dwyane Jones and Reggie Evans?

This is a good deal for us to ditch Hedo's contract. I love Barbosa as well, great shooter. I think he can start for us if DeRozan plays SF.

I'd prefer Barbosa off the bench since he takes some stupid shots sometimes so I wouldn't give him starter minutes. He does add depth to the backcourt but Jose needs to go.

After this off season I'm sure the GM's don't care how much their players get paid.
