Big L

I was a huge Knicks fan and my favorite player was Ewing. Then the knicks deicided that after all Ewing gave them, they couldn't return the favor. So, when Ewing came to the Magic at the end of his career, I went along on the trip as well. Haven't left since then. Now that Pat is working with Dwight it's great for me.

I don't want Otis to pull the trigger too early, however I'd continue to look at the Sonics and their PF's and keep the lines of communication open with Memphis.

Declerq all the way.

55 wins!

If we factor in current team needs all of them make more sense than rashard. Now if we factor in the salaries that even makes it worse in favor of brand, davis, gilbert, magette, gilbert. Baron Davis signed at 29 instead of 28 like Rashard, plus there have always been injury problems with BD. Again he scores, but does he really make your team better? Arenas, can he come back 100% from his injury? Brand, can he come back 100% from injury? Josh Smith, attitude concerns, possible cancer? Work ethic concerns? Will he put it all together? All these guys are great, however due to injury, immaturity or actual fit to a given team they are all question marks. Brand and Arenas are a gamble like we did with Hill. If they come back 100% the club made a good move, if not well, we all remember Hill. THe verdict is still out we shall see how it all turns out.

Yeah, I don't buy that it is necessarily forum members here going there to post idiotic replies. I for one visit this forum frequently, however I never visit any other sites. Specially a site that has no "real" insight to the NBA, just other peoples opinion on matters they don't really know about. Hmm? I wonder why Bianchi doesn't work there? Maybe Jessica is his alias.

Thank you Carlos, not only for your contributions on the court but off the court as well.

Good news for the Magic, a little bit of national exposure can go a long way.

They are good and I appreciate how this forum runs. It's much better than the Bucs forum!

As some of our forum experts have pointed out, we can trade the 3.3. However, we can't combine it with another piece (that's what I understand). So, the question is who can we obtain with that?

If we could get Critt and Warrick(or filler) for the trade exception our roster would definitely be on it's way. Then we could offer the sixers JJ and Bogans for Evans. Do you think they would bite? I mean look at their current roster, I think it would benefit both teams. What do u think?

Does anyone know if you can trade the exception for multiple players? Critt and anything?? Why did you make this three separate posts. There is an edit button. And yes, you can split the trade exception. I went to the trade machine after I started this to look at salaries, no harm intended.

Would the Bulls give up T. Thomas? Do they still like him?

If Otis could use this to get us Crit and/or maybe a big man we've had a decent off season. Plus we still have the bi and vet to use.

That's great to hear, if he could bang with the big boys every now and again, he could become a valuable bench player.

Nat, good post. By the way, this is an informal setting, we are not journalists or anything remotely close to the ap. What you said is just hearsay and should not get you into legal trouble, let alone magic board problems. I think people here need to stop blowing things out of proportion.

I'll believe this one when I see it. That is a worry for mine at the moment. But how many 2 guards have an expiring contract and a corner 3 ball? I'm not sure, that may be exactly what they're after. His size, D and ball handling are very promising. As some have said, he's a perfect fit with Meer I think all they care about is the exp contract.

Thanks Junkie for the info. I was lost Sb. Anyway, I'd be very pleased with those moves.

I like what Lee brings to the table, he looks like he should contribute right away. Plus, he was the main man during the summer league games. In the regular season he won't have the pressure to be the leading scorrer and defenses will not be game planning for him. Gortat once again is impressing me, I just think he at times tries to hard to gain attention from the coaching staff. He needs to let the game (offensively anyway) come to him. Just concentrate on defense and rebounding and he'll be ok.
