I put this under the "Lets NBA" thread for two reasons.

1. It does not have it own separate thread
2. The FIBA world championship games commence on Aug 28th and include numerous NBA players.

As long as Turk gets traded or at last resort he breaks his legs in the tourney and does not play for our team for next season.
