Rico

do you guys know that Arroyo and Barea are playing right now on the puerto rican team,the next game is tonight at 9:30 here is the link.http://www.tutv.puertorico.pr/tutv/tutv_online.htm

Hey can we make like a petition or something like that that we as magic fans can sign, directed to otis letting him know that the majority of us would like a trade,that we like our team but we feel like we can get more,like a Camby or Artest. anything to get this guy off his arrss and get us the help we need.

not that I am a fan but a lot of you are forgetting about the Knicks,I think this is the year they make the playoffs.also I dont think that Otis has the cojones to make a deal for artest. I see him getting Antonio Davis out of retirement.

O.K now I am officially worried, there is no mway we can compete with a team like Boston, not yet anyways,unless Smith pulls something out off his magic hat,and we all know that wont happend so lets just sit back and wait another three years and see what happens. for now we are screwed.

the east keeps getting intresting.

It is over they will win the east. no doubt

MC were you at man? are we done, is this going to be our team for next year.

ANY YOUTUBE ON THIS GUY?

I dont think they should call they just need to show up at their front door,and ring that bell at exactly 1201.Actually they need to split up SVG goes to Lewis house and smith goes to VC or wallace.

I dont want to sound negative because I love the idea of having Arenas here,but remember this guy just had season ending surgery. I hate to say it but we remember what happen 7 years ago when we sign a player that also had season ending surgery.You just dont know how a players body will react to that,hopefully he comes out of this like the player he was before he got hurt, but who knows.

I dont care how young we are if you can make this trade you do it period. This is Kobe Bryant were talking about here.you would be crazy not to do it, the guy is only 29 still in his prime the best basketball player in the world,pair him with Dwight and you have the makin of a dynasty,no mistake here,we wont win with a great bunch of guys, we will win with the best player in the world next to Dwight.

The Orlando Magic would have serious interest in Kobe Bryant. It would likely take some romancing on their part to get Kobe to consider Central Florida, but the Magic can offer some cap relief for the Lakers and a means to replenish their roster. I just read this article on hoopsworld, Otis needs to offer everybody and their mothers but Dwight,I have said it before give it a shot we have nothing to loose and alot to gain common Otis make the freaking call already.

this guy has major stones to sit there on a national radio station and talk about being a major role player a 35 minutes a game guy on a Championship caliber team. Thats how mush he believes that this organization is heading in the right direction, the way I see it he just threw us under the bus,he let it be known that he doesnt trust the Magic to build a contender, that is an exellent message for all free agents out there to know.Thank You Mr Hill, thanks for the memories of you with your 10,000 dollars suits on the sidelines for all this years, thanks for all the time you took on displaying your art collection on the museum. I am pretty sure you will not be missed. Now get your stepping o and dont forget your art.

Man this tread really sucks,I cant see any good or anything constructive coming out of it.

I would not worry at all with wallace jump shot he has improve every year. and he showed last season that he did had 3 point range.

Ok people it has come to this for GHill, I just heard him on the Danika Patrick show on ESPN and he stated that he wanted to be a major role player for a championship team,he clearly stated that he did not want to come from the bench,he even went as far as naming the team that would most fit his stile of game (Phoenix)and that it would be between the Spurs or The Suns. So much for loyalty .

quote: Originally posted by Blackhennie:People said the same of Steve Nash..... Dallas didnt resign him due to age, but look what he is doing with Suns..... Kidd, still rebounds well.... Nash is games is based on skill not athleticism. Vince is game is athleticism. You dont lose skill when aging, but you do lose quickness, speed, and HOPS. When howard is 26 and hitting his prime will vince be vince? How much will vince make at 34-35-36 years of age? 17 million? I dont like wallace because he gets hurt to much. (I dont want to see another grant hill situation after dishing out max money.) I dont like the fact that wallace cant shoot free throws. This means we cant give him the ball down the stretch. I dont like the fact that he has never been 20pt per game scorer. We have alot of projects, and dont need another. Now lewis, though his is only a CONSTANT scorer, is 39% from three and hit threes in volume. Lewis shoots 46% from the field. 84% from the FT line. He can be given the ball down the stretch. Lewis will be still in his prime when howard hits his prime. he is worth max money 5-6years. (Maybe longer because he is a skill player.) If we get any of the three I will be jumping for joy! (Keep in mind they are all great and Im just being picky.) Carter is getting older, 4yrs max (pushing it) at his curent level. He will not be with howard in his prime when howard is 26yrs old. How much will carter be making at the end of his contact? How good will he be? Walace cannt shoot FTS. (I see nick anderson crushing my heart). Walace gets hurt alot and is off the court because of injury. (I see Hill sitting for most of 95mil on the bench in a tie). Has wallace ever been a 20 plus scorer? Lewis a big time scorer but can only scorer. If you can score CONSTANTlY, does that not make you a great player? Points are golden, ask chris mullin and Reggie miller. Where they not good or great players? They only scorered. You can win games by your self dropping 30, 40, 50 pts. I vote for Lewis. Not saying that I dont really like the others, because i do, but because i think that for Max money: I will have a player not on the INJURED LIST and that can hit FREE THROWS. I will have a player that will be in his prime for ALL of his MAX CONTRACT with D.Howard in his prime. When I buy a $60,000 car. I spend my money on a car that will last me a long time. A car that will not brake down at the wrong moment or at all. But our decision, magic fans, is not 60,000 dollars it is Max money thus millions. Thus again, I Vote Lewis because he will be worth the millions now and in the future. I agree with almost everything you just said, the only thing I dont agree is on Wallace. Remember this guy is only 24 yrs old and he has improve on his scoring every year. he has not reach his best potential yet, he will be able to score 20 a game especially under Van Gundy's fast pace offence, in addition to that you have to take into consideration his ability to defend,rebound the ball, wish is awesome for his size, and his monster third row block shots. That being said to me It would be really hard to pick between him and Lewis. I think I too would go for Lewis just because we have defensive players already, what we really missed was a scorer and Lewis can do that in his sleep.

Otis: Hey Carlos, this is Otis Arroyo: Hello Mr. Smith Otis: I was just calling to let you know in advance... Arroyo: What is it? Am I getting the starting job? Otis: No, we'll be trading you for a player with a less annoying fanbase Arroyo: But Otis, Rodriguez and the rest of my fans won't watch the Magic anymore... Otis: *click* Thank God! wow how original. No body would have ever thought of that. only you my friend

quote: Originally posted by The Solution: quote: Originally posted by Rico:Hey TS were did you see or read that Wallace wants out off Charlotte. I cant find that any were. The Charlotte realgm board reported that they read on draft express that he is on his way out from Charlotte , that he wants to be on another team. Quote: Wallace seems set to leave the Bobcats, so compensation in a sign-and-trade may be substantially less than a pure trade. Sweet Thanks for the info.

quote: Originally posted by The Solution:Interesting. Wallace wants out of Charlotte and Carter and Lewis want to play here. Otis, I can overlook your paying Battie too much and hiring Bogans if you can keep Milicic and bring in two more scorers. That would be a WOW team. Hey TS were did you see or read that Wallace wants out off Charlotte. I cant find that any were.

Man I like your scenario but I would switch players instead of Carter I would go for Lewis.

quote: Originally posted by emory889:I really don't think the Magic can go wrong with any of the 3 guys we've mentioned. They all bring different things to the table but all of them would greatly improve our ball club. My personal favorite seems to change daily but I usually lean more towards Gerald Wallace. We would instantly be the top rebounding and maybe top defensive team if we added him. Hey man who knows maybe we can have them both,remember this quote !creative financing! also after all this debacle they may be willing to go over the cap. who knows all we can do is believe.I believe Otis will get it done.

I am with you, I believe.

Great News- Did you hear that Otis!!!!!!!! Now make it happen.You all better put your seat belts on because is about to get bumpy in Otown. GO MAGIC##########
