Then Orlando loses Turkoglu, but signs Vince Carter Ryan Anderson, Brandon Bass – and also have a Trade Chip to use at the Deadline… BUT – Turkoglu really made that team run like a fine tuned machine last year. Despite getting Jameer Nelson back, I think Orlando will have some adjustments to make playing without Hedo. Even if they do have that Trade Exception, they’re dangerously close to the Luxury Tax – and they are one of the teams that have repeatedly said they don’t want to pay the tax.

Boston picks up Rasheed Wallace – BUT WOW, are they old now….. No word on whether KG can come back to 100% – For all the Wizard’s fans worried about a relatively young Gilbert Arenas – you gotta know the Boston fans are worried about all the mileage on KG. The Rasheed thing could blow up in their faces as well…he’s not exactly a stable personality. I could see problems developing in that locker room.

Toronto picked up Hedo Turkoglu, DeMar DeRozan, Reggie Evans and Antoine Wright. The Turkoglu, Bargnani, Bosh front line will be very, very good. And they may not be done – there’s rumors they’re targeting Rasho Nesterovic. BUT – just as Orlando will have some adjusting to do playing without Turkoglu, Toronto will have some adjustments to make as well. Also, I watched DeMar DeRozan’s first Summer League game yesterday – not impressed. He looked lost most of the time.. shot poorly and turned the ball over. I doubt he’ll be their starting SG – but I don’t know who WILL be… I still

Cleveland got Shaquille O’Neal and Anthony Parker, and resigned Anderson Varejao. BUT – both Ilgauskas and Shaq are ancient… The Wizards should be able to just run past them.

Boozer is reportedly going to Chicago or Detroit. BUT – he certainly won’t help them defensively. If he goes to Chicago, he’s a better fit, but if he goes to Detroit, I can’t see how he fits with Charlie Villanueva.
