"New Phoenix Suns forward Hedo Turkoglu took aim at his former team, the Toronto Raptors, and their general manager, Bryan Colangelo, this weekend.
"People have to realize something is wrong with that organization and nobody wants to go there any more," he said in a phone interview from Turkey, where he is captaining the Turkish national team at the World Championships. "It's not just the players who see this."
Turkoglu's remarks were sparked by Colangelo's recent criticism of former Raptors teammate Chris Bosh. Colangelo accused Bosh of "checking out" last season while the Raptors were battling the Chicago Bulls for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot.
Bosh, an unrestricted free agent who left the Raptors earlier this month to join LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in Miami, missed six games after the All-Star break with an ankle injury."
