You seem to forget that the whole league really respected him then and he was rated the top free agent by many. He played the best basketball of his career that season in the most high pressure situations of the playoffs. There are many, many articles which praise his post season play that year. My view is not the minority.

IMO, the attention got to his head. He probably thought coming in to Toronto, he would be the go-to guy over Bosh, but it didnt work out that way, and instead of letting that past him, he sulked. Giving him control over his pre-season regiment also killed the Raptors. They shouldnt have let him rest during training camp.Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.

Some may say, well, your point guards are really the only guys who should be calling plays and creating for their teams. Well how many teams are successful when they have multiple positions that can create?
Miami, Dallas, LA Lakers, Oklahoma, Orlando, Philly, Clippers, San Antonio, Indiana. These are the top couple teams in the league, and these teams have at least one other position that can play-make and be "point guards"Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.

IMO Raptors coaching was for full blame that Turkoglu was not handled better. No one respected Triano, he was push-over.Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.

mostly agree with a lot of personal responsibility on a a player who agreed to take 10 million for his service and spent 3 months getting out of shape and then became somewhat of a diva and started a rift in the locker room between the players.
but if you gave hedo to casey i think he would be a different player. he has the skill but seems not the desire or drive. needs a tough as hell coach and not a tough to the camera for publicity coach.
