Hedo is an Orlando Magic Legend.

Turk should be getting these amounts of shots every night. At times he's a bit passive and at times Jameer/Arenas can't find him.

I still have faith with Hedo off the dribble jumpers.

Also, Hedo could quite possibly be the best forward in the league without scoring.

There were alot of Hedo haters here before we got him. People are just stupid and don't understand simple concepts and that he is built for this team. GO Hedo!

^^^ Its quite simple honestly.

Hedo makes the Magic/Howard better.

The Magic/Howard make Hedo better.

He is perfectly designed for this team and he should retire a Magic.

No, we make "appreciation" threads for when we "appreciate" them.

If there wasn't such a thing as fatigue, I would have him handle the ball the entire game.

If he really **** loved us, he would have taken a little less money and played his heart out for us.

Orland Magic is a non-profit?

If they **** loved us, they would sell the tickets at half price. If they really loved Hedo, they could offer him a bit more and not bring VC in. After all, Hedo did say he would accept less to stay in Orlando, he got offered $28 million less.

I have been a hedo fan since 1998, before he joined the nba... I was living in orlando and became a fan of magic, then in 2004 look whats happened, this guy came to the beautiful town, orlando... what a surprise to me...

Since the beautiful season that we went to finals, hedo changed, he changed a lot. this summer, he told that he wants to be a playmaker for the national team, he said he would shoot the ball when necessary, thats what he did, he got silver medal in world champs. His Toronto year was awful, as a hedo fan, I say
50% is due to him (being lazy, not rested well because of eurpean championship, and not having a pre season work out),
25% is due to club (gm+triano+system(!)),
25% is due to being in canada lol

Jizzz, I do not want to go to anywhere from florida after I have been living here for 10 years, i think that was the problem

Hedo can not play pf for 20-25minutes, i have no idea how phoenix tried to utilize him in that way, first of all, their squad was not well shaped, lack of big bodies, full of sg and sf... But hedo worked hard as much as he can, he said he do not want to score or play as a playmaker, he just want to be involved in team's success, try to help the team, but nope, it did not work...

Finally, he came to the place where he belongs to... He is a team oriented guy, he will do quick passes, enrty passes, lob passes... He is more matured, he takes his time when he is looking to find the correct guy, thats why his to's are down low compared to his final season at magic. And of course, he likes to play with the beast of nba...

Look at the rosters of 2011 and 2009 final team,
meer2011>meer2009(he was injured and not played well at the finals, and he is more experienced and consistent)

j rich > c lee (yes it is, i know we all love lee, but this dude, jrich is one of the best shooter in the league)

hedo2011>hedo1979-2009 lol, his body is perfect, 8% body fat for a pizza guy, i can not imagine more

he is more matured, his shot selection is much more better, i just want him to work his leg if he can be more quick in defense...

bass+anderson>lew (we still strecth the floor, one can play inside, the other can play outside 3pt line, the only difference is one of them is a hole

still we have bigger body than 2009, it will help in rebounds...

d12_2011>d12_2009 except more tech fouls

agent 1>rafer, only gilbert needs to find his rhythm, needs to take more time...
reddick2011>reddick2009, no question, he is moving, he is more experienced...

imo, our team is much more better than 2009, but rivals are in a better shape this year, still i believe in magic...
btw, i appreciate hedo

turbey · Post #15 » by **turbey** » Sun Jan 23, 2011 8:18 am

orlando offered 32 mil for 4 yrs, hedo was asking for 5 years, but after they offered4yr/32 mil they got vc. he had an interview in turkish tv and he said he was not contacted after this trade, he said that he was forced to leave, anyway, 52>32mil lol...

Hidayet Superglu ftw

Mjan · Post #18 » by **Mjan** » Sun Jan 23, 2011 12:54 pm

I wonder, any of you guys think Turk's jersey will be retired one day ? I believe if the Magic get a championship, it is very likely since the management would like to honor the team that won the first ever championship of the franchise, and i doubt there will be another player besides Dwight that can be worthy of such an honor, so the second guy on the team would have to get such a reward.

But say, the Magic can not win a championship despite trips to finals, conference finals etc, and Hedo continues to play at this level for some years and then retires as a Magic, what do you think the chance they would retire his jersey ? I am really confused about this. It looks %40-%60 to me.

HedoMemoErs · Post #19 » by **HedoMemoErs** » Sun Jan 23, 2011 1:18 pm

Hedo is the cause why we support and love Orlando
cause why we wait till very late of night to watch (many times follow on NBA offical cite) Orlando
and our national teams leader , help us win the silver medal (lost only K-Durant^^ , U.S.A in final game,its normal)
cause why we hate toronto, at least ı hate:D

Orlando needs Hedo (%40)
Hedo needs Orlando (%60)

TurkeyGlue gogog

Hidayet means guidance when translated to English. lets hope (aside from his partying ways), he can 'guide' the magic to the promised land!
