What I can't believe is that Chicago didn't get Pau. They have now blown it, and I mean blown it, twice. First, they could have had KG and were too stingy. Now there's the Gasol situation. Paxson is a moron in the trade department. Regarding the Magic, I doubt Otis wanted to take on Pau's contract, though I'm sure we as fans wouldn't have minded. Trust me guys, Otis is working the phones. Haslem is the targeted guy.

The target is Udonis Haslem.

Karahan, welcome to the boards, by the way.

They play different positions

You guys know I like it

Don't believe Otis. He's playing poker and is looking for a pf.

Haslem is on his way to Orlando!

Childress would be nasty! He is easily one of the most underrated players in the league.

Welcome aboard!

Yes, the only reason Smush is included is to make the deal work. And, no, it doesn't address our need for a pg upgrade.

We need a starting pf. Playing small will get us worn out over time. Here's the ideal: Orlando Magic Incoming Players Udonis Haslem Salary: $6,050,000 Years Remaining: 3 PTS: 12.3 REB: 9.4 AST: 1.5 PER: 13.02 Smush Parker Salary: $2,250,000 Years Remaining: 1 PTS: 4.8 REB: 2.1 AST: 1.7 PER: 5.68 Outgoing Players: Pat Garrity, Carlos Arroyo Miami Heat Incoming Players Pat Garrity Salary: $3,818,750 Years Remaining: 1 PTS: 2.1 REB: 1.8 AST: 0.6 PER: 0.23 Carlos Arroyo Salary: $4,000,000 Years Remaining: 1 PTS: 6.8 REB: 1.8 AST: 3.7 PER: 13.38 Plus, include a first round pick. This would clear cap space for Miami and give us our pf. P.S--I believe our 2nd greatest need is a pg.

Hedo15, welcome, too. The bottom line is wins and losses. IMHO, Los and Dooling are career back-up pgs and best in that role. I actually like Dooling's game for what it is, slashing, energy and defense. Los' game is confusing b/c it is so erratic. Some nights he looks like Nash, other nights he looks like Ty Lue (which ain't a compliment) or the bad Steve-O.

Welcome aboard. This should be a fun thread.

Brian Cook, plain and simple. He is playing great basketball and has allowed SVG to set a firm rotation. Our wins have come with him being the first forward off the bench and he has produced: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/gamelog?statsId=3727 In January, he is averaging 8.6 ppg and 2.8 rpg in 15 mpg while shooting 50% from three and 51.6% from the field. Those are awesome numbers off the bench. In addition, his defense has been above average. Kudos to him for kicking it up a few notches, kudos to Otis for believing in him, and kudos to SVG for riding him hard and demanding more. Here's to his new-found production continuing.

I would love Kidd but we'd have to involve a third team to make it work.

I'll say this ... Cook cannot only shoot but he can defend the 4 better than Lewis. That being said, we still need a true power forward.

In January, Cook is now shooting 52.6% from 3. I'll take that all day. Go Magic!!!

OHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worst I've ever seen Los

Yes, I agree. But he AND Rondo AND Powe are killing us where? In the paint. Our help defense (Rashard) stinks at defense.

We need a starting PF to stop the penetration and to help D12. Rashard is a softy down low.

Edit: Okay, here's some of the article: Players probably to be traded: Pau Gasol Shaquille O'Neal, Heat Jason Kidd, Nets Pau Gasol, Grizzlies Tracy McGrady, Rockets Gilbert Arenas, Wizards Ron Artest, Kings Shawn Marion, Suns edit: summarize. [read hutch's post]

Actually, the guy that was completely torched was Rashard. His offense was ghostly, while his defense resembled a palm tree in a hurricane force gale.

Dear Otis, Please rescue me from this crevasse of doom known as Miami. Udonis
