The*BIGGEST* bust from last season's free agency market is (fill in the blank)

My vote goes the Trevor Ariza. Rockets fail to make playoff.

This isn't even a discussion. Bust is a word used for players that come with expectations.

Did anyone really think the pistons would be successful with freaking Ben gordon and Villa-whatever the hell? Of course not. The biggest bust = Turkoglu and it isn't even close.

I don't think Ariza was a bust, I just think people elevated him WAY to high.

Has to be Turkoglu with all the hype he had when Toronto signed him. Im sure Toronto fans expected a lot more out of him and that he was going to have them at least fighting for a top four seed in the east standings. While Ariza and Gordon where never signed in hopes that they were going to make there teams all that much better. So it has to be Turkoglu

When you have a team cancer in Calderon, and three more play makers (JJ, Turk, Banks) and when you play three of them together, Turk will be useless. I bet I would be a better coach than Triano and I am not exaggerating. (so would most of you...) Jose is getting paid very close to Hedo and Bargnani but produces so little, it is unbelievable. I am sure I'm gonna be hanged down a tree soon as the majority here are Hispanics.

Even if this is the reason why Turk is struggling due to the players he plays with and his incompetent coach, didnt you expect a bit more out of him when he was signed? Its not like he only started sucking when Toronto have started losing, he's been pretty bad from day one.
