The arrival of Turkoglu will put the Blazers on a small list of teams that will be picked to compete with the Lakers for the Western Conference title. His versatility combined with the talent surrounding him on the roster will make him a multi-category threat once again.

Lebron staying in Cleveland ESPN's Ric Bucher reports that Shaquille O'Neal agreed to go to the Cavaliers with the understanding that LeBron James would be re-signing with Cleveland next summer.
Phil Jackson may only coach home games Phil Jackson said in a recent interview that he may only coach the Lakers home games next season.
"I think the idea has some merit to it," Jackson said. "This isn’t the first time I’ve heard this idea...and I’m going to discuss it a little bit with [Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak]." While this probably wouldn't affect fantasy values, it would definitely create an interesting dynamic in Lakerland. It could also be part of the reason Kurt Rambis was hesitant to accept the Kings' head coaching job, since he seems the most likely candidate to coach the away games.
