Remember when we said Hedo Turkoglu signed with Portland?  Yeah... not so much.Free agent Hedo Turkoglu has backed out of his commitment to the Portland Trail Blazers and plans to sign with the Toronto Raptors, a source close to the talks told Yahoo! Sports on Friday night. Turkoglu had agreed on a five-year, $50 million deal with the Blazers, but changed his mind and could be headed for a five-year, $56 million deal with the Raptors. Toronto would have to renounce three free agents – Shawn Marion, Carlos Delfino and Anthony Parker – to create the cap space for Turkoglu.I still think Anthony Parker can help the Celtics... so this is good news.  And I don't think Hedo is good enough to put Toronto into any sort of realistic championship contention... so this would be doubly good news.  Hedo's good... but not THAT good.
