The Phoenix Suns acquire Hedo Turkoglu from the Raptors

The Suns have acquired 31-year old small forward Hedo Turkoglu from the Raptors for 27-year old SG Leandro Barbosa, 27-year old power forward Dwayne Jones and a trade exception. Turkoglu should fit right in with the running style of the Suns. He played in 74 games (69 starts) for the Raptors last season and he averaged 30.7 minutes, 11.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. Turkoglu has now played in 752 games (443 starts) in his 10 years in the NBA and he has averaged 28.2 minutes, 12.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. Barbosa was a solid player for the Suns. He played in 466 games (109 starts) in his 7 years with the Suns and he averaged 25.1 minutes, 12.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steal per game. Dwayne Jones only played in 2 games (0 starts) for the Suns last season and he played 7 scoreless minutes getting one rebound. I like this move for the Suns.
