Please one team take him and his contract. Just one team

Colangelo is back in my good books....

It's going to be awesome to see how BC compounds this problem.

All we can hope is this doesn't escalate if/when the Raptors release their counter statement.

The European Theory has completely crumbled. Now where do we go to find players?

If Hedo doesn't get traded, we'll see how badly he wants out. I'd think that management would definitely give him a buyout at a million per year, and might even do one at three or four million a year if they really wanted him gone. I don't think Hedo will be getting a Hakeem-like deal, and I also don't think that he'll walk away from 20 million or more of his remaining contract money. So no buyout on the horizon.

The real question is going to be this: who would actually want Hedo after a disappointing season where he was out of shape, sulky, and underproduced. Hedo's ticket out of Toronto, unless some GM is Babcock-level naive (or really needs to send some equally low-quality assets in return), is to find a way to set his ego aside long enough to have one good season here. And if he's stupid enough to whine about things halfway around the world and not think it would get back here in the age of the internet - or if he simply just doesn't care about anything but himself - I'm not sure I can see that happening.

The only deal that I can see on the horizon right now - and hopefully Colangelo has other options eventually - would be Orlando sending us Vince for Hedo. I don't foresee us getting better in that trade (especially since salary ballast from our side would be required) but I have to admit the ha-ha value of the trade intrigues me.

I bet there would still be some takers... perennial playoff teams who just can't make it past the first/second round. his contract is big but it doesn't exactly break the bank for teams that are over the cap... at least a couple of GMs would be willing to gamble on him having another Orlando 2008/2009 season.

what about trading hedo and reggie evans to utah for AK's expiring deal... hedo is white, so that might offset the extreme blackness of evans enough for utah to pull the deal...

or maybe portland still wants him. in any case though.... with us going into a post bosh restructure, and him whining away over in lazyland, the writing is on the wall... hopefully BC can find a taker. he would be my absolute hero if he can package turk and calderon together in a trade, but i don't think teams would be lining up to give up 150 ppg next season.

Hedo demonstrated one thing this season: he's ineffictive when the ball is not in his hands. Utah has Deron Williams and Portland has Brandon Roy AND Andre Miller. The only takers for Hedo will be teams that don't have a ball-dominant guard.

I found him also very ineffective when the Ball was in his hands...
