Shaq makes the most noise because Shaq is Shaq. And he will help the Cavs more than Carter will help Orlando if Orlando loses Turkoglu. I think Turkoglu to Carter is a step down for O. The Cavs otoh get Shaq for nuttin' and they lose no one in the process.
You are claiming that Hedo is better on offens ethen Vince freaking Carter?!
Carter is an hof'er, Turk is not. I'm claiming what I saw in the play-offs was a Turk who was invaluable to O in many many ways that Carter cannot replace. And Lee is a budding star...you saw it. My question to O is "what's the rush"?
I don't see anything that Turk does better then Carter at all and I am a Turk fan.
As for the trade, I am pretty disgusted.
I was actually really excited when it was first reported, because I like Lee a lot and I know my team is going in the direction that Carter doesn't make much sense.
Then I found out Anderson was being sent to Orlando and I realised we had been violated.
Basically we got a straight salary dump for VC and then swapped the 21st pick for the 22nd.
It's not that I don't like Lee, or that I ever really thought we would get much for Carter, but I figured about what we got, without having to add a player like Anderson.
Anderson is going to be a stud. He would have likely been a top 10 player in this draft based strictly off his college production and potential and would have been a lotto lock, let alone the fact he had a very productive rookie year minus his field goal %. And no, I do not base my expectations or value, nor potential of players strictly or even mainly off #'s.
