Skywise316 211 Report post Posted July 9, 2013 *fist pump* There would be no need for a Hedo appreciation thread, either. We did one for after 2009, when he deserved it. Nothing else has been appreciated the second time around. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bhnole 153 Report post Posted July 9, 2013 I think getting $6 million to go away and play for someone else is enough appreciation. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emory889 353 Report post Posted July 9, 2013 It makes sense. There's no reason to have Turk taking up the playing time that our young players could be using and I don't think Turk would be willing to sit quietly on the bench. Time to part ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ibn Battuta 127 Report post Posted July 9, 2013 so if he's bought out, why would we still have to pay him $6m? that would defeat the purpose of a buyout? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Secretly Space Jesus 670 Report post Posted July 9, 2013 so if he's bought out, why would we still have to pay him $6m? that would defeat the purpose of a buyout? I think they're using the term "buyout" to mean "filing the official paperwork to pay him his guaranteed amount and cut him". Since it's not a team option they can just not pick up, I'm guessing there is some amount of busy work that has to be done to make it happen. Ts to be dotted and Is to be crossed, and all that. There'd be no point for a real buyout on either side at this point anyway; Hedo has no reason to accept less than 6m, and Orlando has no reason to give him anything more than that.

One of the (10?) greatest games in Magic history, THE greatest regular season play in Magic history. Say, I wonder whatever happened to that big guy, number 12?
