IN: Carter
OUT: Hedu and Lee

I don't like this deal for Orlando. Howard gets in a lot of foul trouble and when he did, Battie played some minutes. They have Marcin Gortat who also played good amount, but he's a free agent and may bolt Orlando for bigger money. If they lose both Gortat and Battie, who will be Howard's backup?

The deal was Lee, Alston, Battie for Carter, Ryan Anderson.

I hate this trade for the Nets.

For crying out loud, the Magic getting Carter does NOT mean they lose Turkoglu. I don't get where people are just making this assumption. They basically upgraded from Lee/Redick to Carter. Turkoglu will be back, the Magic will pay the luxury tax to keep him.

I really don't think Hedo will return. Not even because of this trade.

Who's paying him in free agency? No one. He goes back to Orlando.

Sure?

Hedo signs with Portland, according to wiretap.

Hedo backs out of deal with Portland, agrees with Toronto. He did this crap to Phoenix in 2003 too. Life lesson, never trust Hedo Turkeyglue.
