    As somebody in the comments said, don't sign with a bad team (let's not play around, it was a cash grab) and then complain when the team is bad.

    He should have done everything possible to stay in Orlando.

    Awful move by Hedo and Orlando.

    Hedo was forced into Toronto by his wife. Let's not forget he originally agreed to a deal with Portland, but his wife loved the big Turkish population in Toronto. (the money was about the same)

    Not only that, but after trading for VC, there was no way Orlando was going to keep Hedo and this was Hedo's last chance at a BIG pay day, can't really blame him for taking it.

    With that said, Bosh and Hedo to Cleveland via S&T :D

    Exactly, Ferry better get to work.

    Also, Bosh hasn't given Toronto any list of teams he wants traded to.

    Wouldn't it be nice if we could just make a list of the employers we want to be hired by next? Me thinks that professional athletes are just a bit spoiled. Most of us are hopeful that come Monday, we will still be working at the same old boring job we've been doing for the last however many years. Otherwise, we are collectively shafted.

    BW said that Toronto has been interested in Varejao for several years along with JJ.

    I doubt that move will happen, but if you are the Cavs, do you wait for your answer from Lebron or do you go "proactive" and make a deal hoping to entice him into resigning?

    Yes, you do the deal if Toronto agress.

    The worst case scenario is that you have a NBA star PF in his prime on the roster.

    But LeBron isn't going to leave if you bring in Bosh/Hedo.

    I loved Turkoglu with the Magic, but I don't like a deal that involves Hickson and Varejao.
