Jumping Ship

Reports have been circulating around the NBA that Orlando Magic forward Hedo Turkoglu has basically closed the door on returning to Orlando. Hedo was the key to Orlando's success the past two seasons, leading them to the Finals this year. I'm sure that Orlando's recent trade for Vince Carter has a lot to do with his decision. The two teams reportedly closest to getting Turkoglu are Portland and Toronto. Both seem to be a good fit for him but I think he should choose Portland; they have a great young nucleus and would be an automatic contender with Hedo in the lineup. Toronto would be shaky because Chris Bosh will most likely be gone after next season, leaving Turkoglu on his own. It will be interesting to see where he goes.
