Report says Raps working on trades with Suns and Bobcats for Barbosa and Diaw

"Hedo Turkoglu's days in Toronto might be over.

Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reported late Sunday night that the Raptors and Phoenix Suns were working on a deal that would send Turkoglu to Phoenix in exchange for guard Leandro Barbosa and Dwyane Jones.

The Suns are also expected to swing a sign-and-trade deal with the Atlanta Hawks for swingman Josh Childress, who spent last season in Greece.

According to the Republic, Turkoglu is represented by player agent Lon Babby, a candidate to take over as GM in Phoenix for Steve Kerr.

Coro also reported that the Raptors would send part of their $14 million US trade exception to the Charlotte Bobcats, along with Jones, for versatile forward Boris Diaw.

Turkoglu was a massive disappointment in Toronto after signing a hefty contract with the team in a complicated sign-and-trade with the Orlando Magic.

Turkoglu has four years remaining on his contract ($9.8 million US, $10.6, $11.4, $12.0) while Barbosa has just two years left, for $7.1 and $7.6 million. Diaw is owed $9 million both this year and next."
