Comments on: Magic GM doesn’t think Turkoglu was worth $50 M http://www.scoresreport.com/2009/08/13/magic-gm-doesnt-think-turkoglu-was-worth-50-m/ The National Sports Blog Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:52:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: John Paulsen http://www.scoresreport.com/2009/08/13/magic-gm-doesnt-think-turkoglu-was-worth-50-m/#comment-410331 John Paulsen Sat, 15 Aug 2009 16:35:47 +0000 http://www.scoresreport.com/?p=22582#comment-410331 Thanks for the lecture, Bendit. Access to Smith and Pritchard is extremely limited, at best. Typically, parties will respond when the rumor spreads far enough so if we ignore every one-source story, we'd never get a comment. Besides, what would make anyone believe that Smith does think that Turkoglu is worth $50 million? He had an opportunity to sign him for that price and chose not to. Of course he doesn't think Turkoglu is worth it. Thanks for the lecture, Bendit. Access to Smith and Pritchard is extremely limited, at best.

And the propagation of the story by various sites smells of low standard journalism at best. I have yet to see if anyone has even approached either Smith or Pritchard to confirm the comment. Total reliance and reaction then, on a single unidentified "source". This story and responses are a bit ridiculous.

After all Turkoglu did for the magic, i'm surprised he said that. One thing i'm sure we can all agree on is that turkoglu was a BIG reason why they made it to the finals. But w.e one's loss is one's gain! GO RAPS! I agree Turkoglu may not be worth all that money,but for Otis to call Turkoglu out like that, that’s not right.
