HIDAYET TURKOGLU RUMORS

While the Knicks have upgraded through a big trade and the Heat and Celtics are running strong, the Magic lost at home to the lowly Kings. The result was Dwight Howard venting frustration after the game.

Host Turkey maintained its perfect record at the basketball world championship by narrowly beating Puerto Rico 79-77 Wednesday, despite trailing its rival in the first three quarters. Hidayet Turkoglu of Phoenix Suns led Turkey (4-0) with 16 points and Ersan Ilyasova of the Milwaukee Bucks had double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds as the host team pulled away in the last quarter.

Free agency starts at midnight tonight, and the class president is Hedo Turkoglu. The last time we saw the Orlando forward Turkoglu play, he did not have his best game. In Game 5 of the NBA Finals he dawdled on offense. He fell for fakes, and in a key stretch of the game, he made his man, Laker Trevor Ariza, look like an All-Star. At one point, after getting his feet tangled on defense...
