Portland working on Turkoglu
Portland coach Nate McMillen is flying to Orlando today to meet with free agent Hedo Turkoglu. Then tomorrow, Turkoglu is flying to Oregen to tour the Trailblazers facilities. Portland is definately a team that has changed it's direction the last few years. The team figures to have 8 to 9 million under the cap to offer Hedo. The starting lineup of Steve Blake, Brandon Roy, Nicolas Batum, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Joel Pryzbilla wasn't bad during the playoffs. Batum would start the game on the other team's best player and then not play much after that. Now, Turkoglu will start at small forward. That leaves Batum, Channing Frye, and Gerg Oden as pretty good backups. The next step will be to find better backups for starters Blake and Roy.
