Also, guy with legit sources on Realgm says the following:

they are exploring trades of iguodala for a center or a SG. If they get a center, they want to sign tayshaun prince for the midlevel. If they get a SG, they want Kwame Brown.

They want meeks to be the backup SG and turner to start....envisioning instant offense off the bench of Lou,meeks and Young(and probably Hawes). If they acquire a SG, they have no problem with Turner starting at SF.

Speights will be gone shortly after transactions are allowed. The return is not expected to be much. They are comfortable with Allen,Vucevic,Brackins as the backup big men other than Hawes. Nocioni will either be amnesty'd or bought out. He doesnt want to be here.

Their first target at SG is kevin martin, Monta is 2nd, but front office folks question whether he fits here.. Wesley Matthews is of interest to them but that one would probably take a three teamer to do. They also like Batum but Portland doesnt want to move him. They envision Martin as the perfect fit here but no idea if the Rockets are open to moving him.

they arent going to dump Andre tho. If they dont get what they want...they wont move him right now. They would just sign a center like Kwame and get rid of Nocioni and Speights. But they are at least trying to move Andre now. They realize that Turner wont take the next step in his career until Andre is gone.

They arent trading Lou

If Hawes gets any multi year offer in restricted free agency, they will let him walk. If he doesnt get an offer, he will be here for a year at $4 MM and then walk.

Not sure I like Turner at the 3. I don't really see him flourishing in this league as anything other than a PG and I'd rather Jeru be the guy here than ET. Wouldn't mind exploring trade options to be honest. Anything they get for Iguodala I'm fine with.

he can run some point forward...but in no way shape or form could he ever be a one guard in this league...i think his most valuable place would be as the ultimate 6th man...like i could see him winning some 6th man awards coming off the bench to fill a multitude of positions and do them all pretty well

He's a one because he needs the ball in his hands to be effective. They could run him at the point forward like they did with Iguodala, although I hated when they did it with Iguodala because he would either take an off balanced jumper or drive the lane and dish the ball off mid-air to the closest player in the vicinity.

its logic

if its 1 injury then yea mabe he can come back from it. but hes never been healthy in his life, meaning his body is just build that way. he cant even be counted on to give anyone 20 minutes off the bench for an entire season.

im not saying he cant fill in when needed and do it a little bit but to think hes an nba point guard is ludicrous

[reese125]

I wouldnt even bother with Oden--when both your knees are shot they are shot. no miracle rehab on the planet will enable that guy to play effectively at an nba level again.

as far as turner--although he could play point forward at times no way hes a one. hes got a decent handle, but lacks the quick drive and dish skills you need to be an effective one. hes much more useful on the wing facilitating plays, running fast breaks off the boards and finishing, and getting to the rim for rebounds. asking him to consistently to beat his defender and get deep into the lane is asking for more turnovers than its worth.

Oden will be in Miami if he doesn't re-sign

[SD]

He's taking his penis to South Beach
