I'm strongly against him staying, despite how much I love hearing him say "thank you buddy" in that delightful accent at the end of every interview. What are your thoughts?

Please excuse my misspelling of the word "exercise" in the poll question.

NO!! Pick up Rasheed Wallace for a couple years or another servicable 4.

However, dont forget that he has an option to play out his contract for one more year which he may take and we have no choice in the matter.

Unless they trade him....

I don't beleive in keeping Hedo. I think they need to move shard to the three and either pay Gortat or get another decent PF. I still think they should consider Fran and keep gortat if possible. I'm comfortable with trading MP away too.

What better options can we find via free agency?

What's the status on Fran anyways? Is that homo coming to play to the NBA?

I hate to say it, but Artest would be the missing piece for this team.

Wallace and Artest sound interesting. I wonder if Otis might go after them. We need some tough minded guys on our team roster.

I like Artest or Odom from that list. I have always liked Odom and would definitely take him in Orlando.

How much money can we actually pay someone? I am against keeping Turk and think this playoffs is proving to us that we need a solid PF that has the post moves Dwight doesn't.

Odom will be perfect but he seems to love L.A.

I don't believe Odom is going anywhere. He has a good situation in LA definitely. If we can get Artest though....that would be sick and resign Gortat. The problem is we possibly don't have that kind of money.

Rocks blocking shots on guys with dreadlocks
at first i was totally against having odom here because his shooting is hit or miss like pietrus and watching him get dominated in the finals left me with a bad image of him. he seems like he would be a great fit though at PF but i really think he will be just as frustrating as hedo is and be really inconsistent. not to mention we dont have a kobe bryant on our team who is gonna get in his face and make him focus.

if there was anyway to get mcdyess or a young PF like him with his rebounding, consistent jump shot, and intensity i would jump at it and wave bye the hedo in a heartbeat. only thing is there doesnt seem to be guys like that availabe so i personally think we are gonna be stuck with hedo. who knows maybe fran grows some balls and comes over next season and becomes like varajeo but i highly doubt that. best case scenario if we sign hedo would be for otis to blow the s**t out of mcdyess's agent and talk his a** off into getting him to sign here

Does anybody know anything about the money? How much are we going to have to work with if Turk opts out?
