Watch nothing happen. It is nice to know Otiz is shootin' for the moon.

Breaking Inside from Junkie: This comes from a VERY good source, as can be verified by some vets on the Board. Given that Junkie is suspended (not sure why), I'm going ahead and posting this information: -The Magic are pursuing a trade for Paul. However, the potential trade does not include Jameer, whom Otis loves. Trade pieces are unknown. -The Magic are trying to trade Vince right now. Targets are unknown. -The Magic will sign Arenas right away if he's bought out. Arenas will play for the vet minimum to play for Otis, who is his mentor. -The Magic have asked Rashard to start practicing at SF again b/c they plan on pursuing a PF in FA this summer. -There is a good chance the Magic sell their first round pick tomorrow. Boom! How about them apples. This is all I was told.

As to my opinion, I don't see us landing Paul w/o including Meer. I also hate the idea of selling our pick.

That initial jab at you was a joke, anyway. ...and please, Dom, do NOT include me as an insider. It was simply a few facts that I am aware of that I haven't seen discussed so far. Sir, you are privi to info, no one else here can get. Therefore, you are an insider. Congratulations. We expect hourly reports until this transaction is completed. Rev will fill you in on the perks. Aww crap Well said, Nyce. Fins, go!

quote: Originally posted by Magic Fins:I debated whether or not to post this, because I'm positive jareth and jec will reply with something that represents the absurdity and ridiculousness of the Kindergarten teacher in Billy Madison, but... Why the hell not? Here it goes. This is not "insider info," just a fact that I'd like to reiterate. I'm a Louisianian and am very close to people in Galliano, LA who are neighbors to Gary Chouest, the tugboat and oil rig mogul who wants to buy the Hornets from George Shinn. These people are also Hornets season ticket holders who have their ear to the ground. First off, let's make this crystal clear: George Shinn BADLY wants to sell the Hornets, and Gary Chouest BADLY wants to buy the Hornets. Chouest is a basketball fanatic. His sons were high school stars at South Lafourche High School and they have a regulation size NBA court in their friggin house for Pete's sake. That being said, due to the oil spill in the gulf, Chouest had to lay of 30 of his boats and his business is hurting. He is a business man first. So, he does NOT want to take over a franchise that is in debt and be the head of two sinking companies. What is the only way to get said franchise out of debt? Get rid of horrible contracts and shed payroll. You know where this is going... No team, obviously, will take on those bad contracts without getting CP3 in return. So, the bottom line is Shinn wants to sell the team way more than the public is being led on, and Chouest wants to buy the team more than anything. The only factor stopping the sale is the Hornets' debt. The sale cannot and will not happen, like both sides badly want, without Chris Paul being involved in a cash-shedding move. They don't WANT to trade Chris Paul, but it may be a necessity for the desired sale to happen. What a great post. Seriously, thanks. Good info.

I miss the days when Junkie was calling the mothers and mentors of players for info. He still has a ridiculous source that he's trying to reach.

Revs Unite!

Thanks for the update.

Back again. Quick update?

That said, I'm not going to pull that RevTy-type "I have inside sources" horse manure, but I know some people. The things I'm hearing have once again boosted my hopes sky-high. From what I heard this morning, it's just a matter of making the numbers match up. Take it as you will. Wait a second. Aren't you the "insider" who has gotten threads locked by posting bogus stuff? If not, please forgive me. Not that I'm aware of. The only "inside" info I've ever laid claim to was the Rashard suspension, which I was indeed the first to break to this board. I was fed some erroneous info about CJ Watson last season, but I don't believe that caused any threads to get locked. Okay. Very sorry. I guess I'm thinking about Tragic Fan. Thanks for the info. Keep posting it.

"This Year's Hidden Gems" by Ryen Russillo http://insider.espn.go.com/nba...nba_draft&id=5317786 quote: Dominique JonesJones is undersized and isn't a very good shooter. He is, however, relentless. On film, it's actually remarkable how often he gets to the basket. Jones never stops attacking. He uses his quickness to get by an initial defender and then challenges contact at the rim with his length and broad shoulders. He lives at the free throw line, and was sixth in the NCAA this past season with 267 free throw attempts. He also put up great rebounding numbers for his position. I love his attitude. I doubt he ever thinks the guy guarding him can stop him. His foul rate was a little high, but that was a result of his aggressive play on defense.

I see ...

Just got home. What's the latest update?

Go Otiz, go! Throw in our first, too, if that's what it takes!!! Get Paul!!!

Okay ... I am Chris Paul

Otis has been extremely high on and targeting Paul for the whole year. This comes from a VERY good inside source. I don't know if the interest is current, but I imagine it is. Unfortunately, I don't see us offering a better package than NJ (Harris + #3). If somehow we were able land Paul without giving up Jameer, the obvious place to try and trade Jameer is to Philly for Iggy. Frankly, I don't see Paul being traded, let alone us acquiring him if he is.
