$4 million/year for Turiaf?
Panic in the streets out there.
Nearly 7-ft and plays with energy...Good defender...from all accounts a good guy. Vital role player on a team which made the Finals.
Doesn't sound like a panic move to me. Sounds like a good move.
On the other hand, they traded a top-tier pouting player who plays when he feels like it (Davis) for a solid, cheaper player who plays when he can. (Maggette).
I don't have a problem with that move, either.....As long as they find a PG.
What is this team's plan? Maggette at $10 million? Turief at $4 million for 4 years? (Dont think he's worth that at all) No more Baron. Nellie has one foot out the door. They have big decisions to make next offseason with Biedrins & Ellis.
Where is this team going? They're certainly not good enough to compete with the big boys in the West. However, they probably won't suck enough either to garner a high lottery pick. .500 or slightly below. That's No Man's Land in the NBA. They're slowly wasting away what cap space they'd have. I just don't see the direction here.
Let's see what they do with Harrington and Jackson.
