Rep Power: 29 | | This is one of the reasons the NBA is 4th out of the 4 major sports in my book:
The NBA is an unforgiving place, a league in which a wrong draft choice or a bad free-agent signing can relegate a franchise to oblivion for a decade. The stagnation is very real: In the last 30 years, just eight franchises have won NBA titles. The Lakers won nine, the Bulls six, the Celtics and Spurs four each, and the Pistons three. Houston won two, while the 1983 Sixers and 2006 Miami Heat are the only one-and-done franchises.
In 30 years.

Rep Power: 14 | | Where do people think Iverson will go? There are two types of systems in the NBA, free-flow and structured and he fits into neither of them. He and Baron Davis fit into the offense of "me-flow".

It is unforgiven and it should be....that is why GMs have to make smart decisions...they just can't throw money around. Personally, i think a bad FA decision is worse than a bad draft pick..cause with a bad draft pick...you can just choose again the next year...whereas signing Eddy Curry to the max can hamper your team for 5 or 6 years.

Rep Power: 14 | | Raptors preparing to offer Hedo 5years and 60million. I personally don't think he's worth it but maybe the Raptors are thinking that the signing can keep Bosh around.

Andrew Bynum
Richard Hamilton
Monta Ellis
Troy Murphy
Baron Davis
Al Jefferson
Ok, this is a diverse list, and I think it's clear that Turkoglu is more valuable that some of these guys and less valuable than others. What I'm seeing though is that most guys who are better than Turkoglu but make less money are on their second contracts (i.e. Danny Granger, Devin Harris). I think this is market value for Turkoglu given that it's probably his last major contract.

Now that is a win-win for both teams. (This is just my opinion...no rumor)
