1. Hedo Turkoglu has 4 years and 43.8 million left on his contract.  The 4th year is a player option for 12 million dollars that Brother Hedo would be absolutely insane to waive.  Taking into account that the new CBA will likely lower the salary cap and player salaries, Hedo's contract could look even worse than it does now.  

3. Hedo has been declining for 3 years in a row now.  He will be 31 to start next season, and his statistics from last year are not much different than Andres Nocioni's Per 36 minutes.  In fact, Noc averaged more points and the same amount of rebounds as Hedo Per 36.  Their FG% and 3P% are relatively comparable as well, although Noc was better from distance.  The only thing that Hedo really trumped Nocioni on was assists (4.8 to 1.8 Per 36).  

5. Hedo is definitely a downgrade when compared to Nocioni on the defensive end.  While Nocioni was perhaps not as effective on defense this year as he was in years past, Hedo has never been known for his defensive prowess, and his lack of real speed or athleticism limits him in this area.  Paul Westphal clearly values defense, sitting players or playing them based on their defensive effort.  This was most noteable with Spencer Hawes and Donté Greene.
