I have to say getting Turk for a top 5 pick is NOT worth your time and effort especially in the 2013 Draft. Overall he was a huge negative influence in Toronto and had some major character issues. He was off with an 'injury' and spotted that night in a bar during one of our games (or right around that time).
Honestly Maggette is a far superior player and his expiring contract is worth much more to you guys than taking Turk on for a year longer. Turk's a system player at best and was highly overrated in his first tenure with Orlando
In closing, I'd like to leave this infamous Turk interview during our displeasure of having him on our team.

I get what you're saying. I'd be willing to burn our amnesty on him to get that pick.
Still, not happening.

I don't think we can use the amnesty clause on players acquired after the rule came out.

^I thought it was players with contracts signed after the rule came out.
You're probably right, though. That makes more sense.

Indeed. If we trade for him, we cannot amnesty him.
Rule was for anyone signed long-term BEFORE the rule and also team specific. Whatever team said player was on when the amnesty rule went into effect, only that team could amnesty him.
