Should Sacramento trade for Hedo Turkoglu or Tayshaun Prince?

by HoopsVibe News
Jun 15th, 2010

The Kings are looking for a small forward and Detroit's Tayshaun Prince could be a viable option.

The Pistons are looking to make some changes and it is believed that either Richard Hamilton or Prince will be dealt.

HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: This is more like it.
 
For weeks, reports have tied the rebuilding Sacramento Kings to Hedo Turkoglu, the disgruntled three-man with the Toronto Raptors.
 
Turkoglu had a poor year in Toronto: he arrived out of shape; had little interest in playing basketball; displayed a lack of professionalism; and demanded a trade.
 
The Kings - despite having the Turkish swing for the first five years of his career - are probably hesitant to deal for Turkoglu. His attitude leaves something to be desired. And he has four years and over $40 million remaining on his contract.
 
Prince would be a better fit. The lanky wing has credibility after winning an NBA championship with Detroit and helping the Pistons become a model franchise. And Sacramento's youngsters will respect Prince's experience, work ethic, and quiet, statesmanlike approach.
 
Best of all, he's an affordable mentor. His $12 million per year salary expires at season's end. 
 
For many reasons, the Kings would be better off with a 'Prince'.

Hi Ricky Rozay. Good point. I`m not sure what Prince or Turk would cost SAC. However, Dumars - Chauncey Billups trade aside - usually extracts equal value from other teams. Should be an interesting story to follow in Northern California. Thanks.

i think no, i believe we should go for a small forward that is primarily defense and plays together with a team, it should target tyreke evans, u should make everything around tyreke, and ask him what he thinks about possible trades and stuff like that to make sure that he is the teams leader

I say Sacramento wouldn't mind if we we got Turkoglu but we get Derozan and the 13th pick , and Toronto gets Nocioni expiring contract and Garcia the 33rd pick to sweeten the deal. Hedo has a Bad Contract. as for the Pistons they give up the No# 7 pick and Tyshaun Prince for Sacramento Kings No#5 and Andres Nocioni in order the Trade to work.
