I know everyone is going to be shocked by this...... But, give him a little credit. He's an very solid defender. Not an elite defender, but he's pretty solid. He can make it in this league, probably a lot like Q. He can hit the 3 but is put in the game mainly for his defense. Not saying that should be who the Magic should pick, but he'd be a better selection than Orton is.

Alot of what I'd say has already been posted, so I'll keep it short. Forum - I agree the 100 post minimum would help. Although it wouldn't completely weed out the stupid posts, it would definitely slim down the stupid threads. I think that helped me out when I first joined, just watching the way it was conducted for a little bit before I actually started creating stuff. Also more emoticons would be pretty sweet :happypuppy: :shard: NBA - Techs on flopping. Its getting ridiculous. I'd personally like to see Stern retire and get a new, younger President in the office. Once that happens, call in all the NBA refs and review game tape on them. Fire the ones who aren't making calls for flops, hard fouls, and those type of things. Also, fire refs who blatently protect players or boost players by letting them get away with stuff. I realize that would be a lot, but a stricter accountability for refs is desperately needed. Sloppy refs create a sloppy NBA. Magic - Resign Dwight. Then get rid of Otis. I'd much rather have Steve Kerr, Kevin McHale, or even Charles Barkley (I may get bashed for saying this, but I would say he'd make a hell of a GM). Find a way to get younger and a better bench.

We're not going to acquire major trade pieces to trade them off again. Teams don't do that. Unless you're QRich. Al is talented, but he's just not the type of Talent the Magic need at the 4 position.

Well it was more than a minute. It was like 3-4 minutes later (break between rounds). Enough time for a pro MMA to regain his composure. I wouldn't call it controversial because Lesnar won but it was over a gassed Carwin. Carwin did beat the hell out of Lesnar in the first round and if Josh Rosenthal (the ref) had more experience, he would have realized that he probably should have called the fight. But according to him, the Lesnar keep fighting back. http://www.fightline.com/fl/news/2010/0712/529927/ufc/ If the ref was Jon McCarthy (best UFC ref ever), that fight would have ended. But you saw the result of his last fight, Lesnar got destroyed by Cain Velasquez. I agree with you though, Lesnar is done even though he's one of the more exciting fighters now.

I would never do some of the ridiculous trades that this guy is suggesting, mainly because we have another year with Dwight. However, on a completely separate note -- I would LOVE to see Taj on this team. But he's the replacement for Boozer, so they won't let him walk.

Yes. Please Leave.

Stop making threads with stupid unrealistic trades that you think are serious possibilities.

Yes. I agree. Where do I sign? Oh, I can't? Ok, then we should lock this thread.

Except Hedo's contract was up. Mayo has a year left. Mayo is also younger and has more upside to his game than Hedo did 2 years ago. I'm not saying its impossible. But its highly unlikely after a great post-season. The Griz and the Thunder are the future of the NBA.

Totally agree. West, Big Baby, Brand or Bust!

Fixed.

Anyone else hear that Lesnar pulled out of his fight with Dos Santos? Replacing Lesnar is Carwin. Carwin vs Dos Santos could have fight of the year written all over it. Heavy heavy freaking hands in that one.

There are no other legitimate options at PF that the Magic could acquire, unless Brand is included in this trade with Philly. Dude, stop being a negative nancy and just look at Davis as a guy who can take charges and not really an key option for us on offense if we get the other pieces we're looking at. Now, if the Magic did pick up Davis and that was their only pick up during the offseason, then I'd be extremely disappointed, but if all of these other pieces fall into place, then I'd take Davis at the 4. But unless you want to continue being a mule, you have to admit that H4TW basically destroyed any defense you have against Davis.

Please. Just. Stop.

Yes Please. I feel like Big Baby is one of those guys (like Noah) where you HATE him when he is on the other team, but if he ever makes it to your team, you love him. I could see him starting if we had all that other talent, we wouldn't need to rely on him too much offensively and he has a knack for getting in and grabbing boards. Plus his mid-range jumper is pretty consistent.

double post.

Well, that clears that up. As for the rest of this, I'm all for it, but I don't want to get my hopes up then get my heart crushed and broken into a million pieces. This type of abuse has happened, before but because I love him, I keep coming back. Honestly though Nelson/Iggy/Price/Anderson/Dwight - Not to shabby Any real chance of having this trade include Brand?

:panicworker:

I did say that I was using the word realistic loosely, but you interpret it however you want and ruin the fun. Also if you're so smart, why don't you just tell me you're ideal lineup around Dwight?

I'm the type of guy that likes to have backups of stuff. Just in case something stupid happens, which has been know to happen with my electronics, and I lose everything. Anyways, I want to play Portal 1, which originally came out as a 4 game Disc called "The Orange Box" (any confirm that this is true?) They have it now on XBOX Marketplace and I can download it for $10 compared to the $25 on Amazon for the Orange Box. If I download it onto my hard drive, is there a way that I can burn that download onto a disc that I can use in the future, just in case something happens to my xbox? or if I get a new xbox (which I'm planning on doing). Anyone got any advice on this?

Currently Playing: Minecraft - PC NBA Live 2009 (2010 version broke :angry: ) Black Ops Halo Reach Saving up money to buy Portal 2. Downloaded a trial of Portal 1 and it is ridiculously addicting.

This topic almost has too many good things about it...I don't know where to begin

We're not getting CLee back, even though I'd like to, so lets all just accept it and move on Also, no freaking way Washington trades Lewis back to us. Thats just absurd.

Gooden is just an older version of Bass. Definitely not worth starting, but wouldn't hurt as a filler to give us some size. As far as a response to the super long post on the previous page - I wouldn't mind those things if it allowed us to resign Dwight and go after a superstar or two summer 2012. That all depends on if Dwight would agree to it but I don't think he will. I think we'd have to get someone next season and also show the signs of moving toward another superstar in the summer of 2012.
