Hedo Wants Out..and more 

Post#1 » by Relentless88 » Sat Apr 17, 2010 3:18 am

I don't have a link or anything but I do have a friend who has a friend that knows Hedo. This guy's mom is a close friend of Hedo's wife. He's got a game worn jersey from Hedo, and tons of pics.

A couple days ago he went to Hedo's place. He lives in Yorkville btw (a Condo that isn't even fully furnished lol). Anyway this guy talked to him a lot and asked many questions.

When he asked him what he thought of coming to the Raps, he said it was the worst decision he's ever made. When he asked why, Hedo said that this wasn't a "basketball team". In the locker-room nobody talked to one another and there was always a negative atmosphere. Hedo said it was like the players were against each other, and this impacted their play and why they fell apart at the end.

Hedo then talked about Toronto management. Management/coaching wanted the team and everything to run around Bosh as it was his contract year and wanted to convince him to stay.

When he asked Hedo what he thought of Triano, Hedo said he was a nice and polite guy. And in fact, too nice and it allowed players to take advantage of him. Hedo gave an example of when a player played poorly for 10 minutes, instead of reducing their minutes, Triano's soft side gave him more minutes.

In terms of teammates, Hedo said the only teammate he liked was Bosh. He also talked about last night when fans were given signs saying "CB4 - WE WANT MORE" and so when the announcer said CB4, the crowd was supposed to say "we want more". The announcer kept saying it but the crowd didn't respond.

So he asked Hedo if he wants to come back, and Hedo said no chance. He said he'd love to go to Phoenix and play with Steve Nash.

He then asked Hedo about Bosh. Hedo said Bosh plans on re-signing to get his max deal, but would demand a trade later on.

Hedo finally said that he wanted to get out of Toronto so bad they packed up right after the game and left to Orlando and off to Turkey for the World Championships in the summer.

He also asked Hedo about who's going to win it all this year, and Hedo said Orlando.

Anyway all this my friend told me (it's his friend that said all this, who I don't know). I didn't really believe it at first but he showed me pics of his friend with Turk at Turk's place (from facebook).

lol I didn't even realize this, I pretty much copy/pasted what my friend gave. Don't have to believe any of it, but his mom is a close friend with Turk and there's pics of him with Turkoglu at his place.

I'm pretty sure colangelo would let him walk out on his deal if he wanted to forfeit his 40mm.
