o-DUB I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU,NO WAY SHOULD WE OPEN THE BANK FOR CARTER,YES HE SCORE 40 POINTS THE OTHER DAY, AND HAD A TRIPLE DOUBLE,BUT HOW LONG DO YOU THINK HE CAN KEEP PLAYING LIKE THIS? THIS TEAM IS BEING BUILD FOR THE FUTURE, WITH A YOUNG CORE THAT WILL DOMINATE FOR YEARS TO COME. VC IS NOT THE ANSWER. GO FOR WALLACE,SIGN DARKO, AND DEAL FOR A POINT GUARD.

I have said this all along, WALLACE is defenetly the RIGHT FIT for the magic.A young scorer lock down defender in his prime ready to take over games if necesary,this guy is no fools gold, The magic need to get Wallace in Orlando at any cost,they need to be standing in front of his door at 12:01 AM, on the first day of free agency.

Hey it could happen. Actually, no it couldn't. Neither of those two trades would work under current CAP rules regarding matching salaries. ok so youre telling me that a trade to seatle is not posible, with hedos contract plus some other player to match Lewis salary. Why not, what are the cap rules? all they have to do is match his salary.I dont see why we cant try to get Lewis and Wallace here. now about the Jameer trade well that was just me thinking out loud over here I know there is no way we can do this player for player.

What if we could get both Wallace and lewis. sign wallace in the summer, trade Hedo-Bogans, to seattle for Lewis,then we trade Jameer to the sixers for Andre Miller. Hey it could happen.

stop it man, no way this guy should be in a magic uni, he is to old, we do not need another case of granthilitys. There are other options out there that make more sense,ie- Lewis, Wallace,etc. young atletic scorers in their prime.

Fendi I dont understand, your first post says he is too good for the nba, and the next one says it would be a huge risk. I say that if we go all out this summer and get the talent we need why not? This guy is a great motivator and he is a players coach, I understand that other college coaches didnt do good on the nba but to be fair they did not have the talent that we have, and it could only get better over the summer.

BILLY DONOVAN is on top of my wishlist for this summer. MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE PUNCH BRIAN HILL IN THE FACE.

If you had the chance to start your own basketball team, which player would you prefer as your franchise player to win a championship Dwight or Bosh? Hello Rico Man thats a tough one. Bosh is incredible. But I think Dwights upside is higher. Dwights a better rebounder and seems to be a better defender. He blocks more shots. Dwights downside is his offensive game and his turnovers I think in time he will get better. Bosh's offense is already there. I don't if he's good at passing out of double teams and how much he turns the ball over but. He's going to be Kevin Garnett in my opinion. I'm still going to have to take the homer route. I take Dwight. Who would you pick Rico? I would also pick Dwight hands down, if you follow comparisons Dwight is the perfect choice,how many championships Kevin Garnet has, thats right 0 in the other hand how many Shaq has?, Like I said before no brainer Dwight Howard.

Saludos a todos desde Clermont FL.,Si tuvieran la oportunidad de empesar su propio equipo de baloncesto,cual jugador preferirias para ganar campeonatos Dwight Howard o Chris Bosh?

Valla mi gente como estamos,primero que nada quiero felisitar a MATIASJJ,por haber empesado este foro en Espanol. E posteado antes pero en Ingles no se me ocurrio hacerlo en espanol antes. tremenda idea. Ahora hablemos de los Magicos,como muchos de ustedes han dicho antes yo tambien estuve de acuerdo que sentaran a Carlos porque tuvo unos estrechos de juegos donde no produjo mucho y decidio tirar la bola antes de pasar,como dijo alguien antes, en el poco tiempo que jugo trato de hacer mucho y no quedo bien. Despues de haber sido castigado por el coach BHill Arroyo reacciona Y demuestra que con el, el equipo core mejor,tiene mejores tiros,la ofensiva es mas facil y crea mejores oportunidades para todos.Ahora porque el coach no hace lo mismo con Nelson, Y lo sienta para ver si asi Nelson despierta.No es porque soy boricua ni porque sea fanatico de Carlos,soy fanatico de los Magicos y quiero ganar,si la ofensiva corre mejor con Carlos el deberia de jugar mas.Por otro lado este coach se tiene que ir,no cren? Sus rotaciones de jugadores no funcionan,y sus jugadas no sirven y hasta creo que los jugadores ya no le hasen ni caso. Saludos a todos los latinos Y gracias por el apoyo a Los Magicos y a Arroyo. Espero que lleguemos a Los Playoffs.

THIS GUY MAKES ME PUKE, I CANT EVEN STAND WATCHING HIM ON THE TV,DO THEY NEED TO SHOW HIS GRILL ON THE BENCH 50 MILLION TIMES,THIS LOOSER NEEDS TO DISAPPEAR.I ALMOST PUNCH MY TV TONIGHT.GO AWAY F***R.

Listen, above all I am an Orlando magic fan,I dont mind if Carlos is not playing well and being selfish sit his a** down,I dont have problem, as a fan I want to win. The coach is responsible for putting players in the game that fit well,and that will produce,whit that being said what has Nelson done this past games,The guy can not make an assist he can not create for himself or others he makes bad decisions he turns the ball over, and now he thinks he is Iverson and craves for that last shot. Is there a double standard in the system, whats it going to take. If is not working you need to change it, you did it with Carlos right. Sit Nelsons A** down until he comes back to earth, If you hate Carlos that much then bring Travis out from retirement, Iam sure he will atleast give you more than TWO assist per game. FIRE BRIAN HILL.

Brian Hill sucks,What the hell is Grant Hill doing Inbounding the ball with 11 second left in the game.The last play in regular time should have been drawn for him and also in OT. What the hell is the midget doing,(NELSON) I dont know why B Hill kept this guy in the game he suck all night,he was not scoring, he was not making any assist. Also JJ was doing great he makes an incredible shot to end the first half and what does this DUM A** of a coach do he sits him down for the rest of the game. Give the F****g ball to Grant Hill,the guy who kept you in the game.

I think some of you are a little to sentimental over some of the players on this team. Some of you have some very nice fantasies that could never happen for real. But everyone is entitled to there opinion. So I guess its time for me to put my 2 cents in. lets look at a couple of important facts. 1st Our team has not had anyone have a 10 assist night in a game this season no one. No one on on the magic roster has gone for 35 points in a game this season and we have only had guys go for 30+ 4 times. So those areas are where me need to improve the most. But most of you know that. 2nd, in free agency and trades you have to give to get nobody other than Isiah takes whatever you don't want and gives you every thing you want. not going to happen. 3rd, there is only one guy that is untouchable on the magic roster, Dwight. There are only two other guys on the roster that you should do everything in your power to keep, Darko and Trevor. Everyone else is fair game. So here is a sign and trade scenario that could happen. A three team deal between us, Denver and Milwaukee. First to make this really work for the Magic we need to sigh Gerald Wallace. Then the players who move happens like this. Denver gets: Trevor Ariza, Kieth Bogans and Pat Garrity. Milwaukee gets: Nene Haliro, Jameer Nelson and Hedo Tourkalo. We get: J.R. Smith, Mo Williams, and Dan Gadzuric. This would leave us with a roster something like this PG MO Williams/Carlos Arroyo/Keyon Dooling SG J.R. Smith/J.J Redick SF Gerald Wallace/Grant Hill PF Darko Milicic/Tony Battie C Dwight Howard/Dan Gadzuric This deal has pros and cons for all teams, which is what will have to happen if we want to get anything done this off season. I can't wait to hear what people have to say about this one I tought you said Ariza was untochable

Never mind Barbosa sign a 5 year extension starting next year. O well it was fun while it lasted.

Diop are you serious this guy sucks,The Magic need to go after Gerald Wallace and Leandro Barbosa.

Is Leandro Balbosa available?, he is on the list as a free agent for 2007.

Anybody knows if Leandro Barbosa got an extension with the suns. This guy would rock here.

quote: Originally posted by MilitaryMagic:I keep thinking of the Portland Trailblazers when I think about the struggles we've had the past 4 years now. Constantly mediocre, roster in upheaval... you can tell that Magic management is making an honest effort to keep continuity on the team, but if what we have isn't worth keeping together... well.. we have to break it up. I think one very important point is about Dwight. The kid is a beast. We need him. He's a max player... but only because he's huge. If Dwight wasn't the physically imposing specimen that he is, what would his worth be? I look at Zach Randolph on the Blazers and I see a better player than Dwight. A player like Randolph has to overcome his physical limitations by improving his skills. Now that the secret is out on Dwight, so to speak, his physical gifts don't give him the results we need. Dwight is clumsy with the ball and he is constantly out of position. He often gets beat when he boxes out after free throws. He barks at officials after he turns it over and is often late to get back on defense. What I am trying to make clear is that Dwight is not a natural born leader. His blood does not run that way. Now we have Jameer Nelson and Grant Hill as team captains... a 3rd year point guard and a past-his-prime all-star. This season we have handed Dwight the keys to the car and he hasn't driven us anywhere in particular. His stats are good - his impact on games often times is not. I worry about giving Dwight a max contract. It is necessary... it is his market value. But I haven't seen much from Dwight that tells me he can outplay and outwork his opponents, I've only seen what is obvious - that Dwight has physical gifts that nobody else in the NBA has. So go ahead and fire everyone else on the Magic roster. But all we'll be left with is a franchise player that has yet to find his inner "Nemo". Easy man remember only 21.

Walk away because the point is blown Would Phil Jackson have a team that was cavalier about winning without sending a message? Look South. Pat Riley has been known to yank the entire starting lineup and put in bench players when he's disgusted with performance and they have almost all veterans. The laughing has been going on for months. The comparison to a Coach that has actually won championships is pathetic. All good coaches know how to send messages to their players. So now the big deal is they are laughing on the bench. WHY SHOULDN"T THEY LAUGH? They are playing a game, getting paid millions of dollars and have NOTHING at stake. I'd be pretty happy too. Does someone have to write a memo on BHill's forehead that if you want to get the attention of players you motivate them with playing time? Sorry but all this rant about the players laughing is just another demonstration that the Magic have need of a coach. If you create a system that has no reward or punishment for performance or lack of professionalism whose to blame? Give it a break. Jameer laughs? So what? Next game he'll start and get the same minutes and hoist up as many shots as he always does laugh after laugh after laugh. Start Diener over Jameer just a game or two and Jameer won't be laughing on the bench anymore for the rest of the season. How can an NBA coach not know basic player motivation? This is the best post that I have read in the entire message board. Well said man. 100% TRUE.

Was it me or did anybody else saw Jameer smiling at the free trow line down by 20.

You cant base Jameers talent off of a few games. He is a talented PG. Also, you would think Jameer was great if he wasnt being held back by Brian Hill. I dont think he is at where he wants to be under the coaching of BHill. Man I am tire of excuses, Jameer hasnt done nothing all year,none of our point guards have, I say give the ball to Travis and run with it.

I think I heard that The Kings were interested in trading Mike Bibby? I think he could help us out.
