We played awful tonight. We were lucky to even be in the game

What a joke

Hold on guys, we have the 100 million dollar man!

DISGUSTING PLAY!

I'm tired of Dooling's no-show. Put in Redick. Yes, I said it. Let's see what he can do.

Dooling looks awful tonight

Nelson is shooting 80%. The problem is our defense

Dwight has given up 18 points already from his men

Dwight's defense is HORRIBLE tonight

I want to see Foyle and Howard together

Dwight is getting owned down low. Bring in Foyle to do some beatin'.

Why did Evans just jack that up?

This new line-up looks very bad. Dooling looks worse than Bogans.

quote: Originally posted by Jareth Cutestory:And I ask you this, do we need 10 more points a game or do we need 10 more rebounds a game? That should answer your question about Redd. Not sure it's that simple, though that's a fair question. My point is that Redd is a top shelf SG while Hedo is a middle shelf SF, historically speaking. Got to go to lunch ...

That's the sticking point. But you can always convince Marion to sign an extension prior to the trade. It definitly could be a deal breaker. It also could be a reason why the Suns would be interested. Marion already has demanded a trade earlier this year. There is a very good chance that he opts out with no intention of resigning with Phoenix. If this trade was put on the table, I would imagine that selling the Magic to Marion wouldn't be that difficult. But Matrix is a lil' loco. He wants $20 mil/yr everywhere I've read.

quote: Originally posted by Jareth Cutestory:Why would we trade for Redd to begin with? You still haven't answered that question. We have 3 or 4 SG's on our squad already (Dooling, Evans, Redick, and Bogans). You can even throw Turk into that equation as well. Turk can also play PF if need be. Can Redd? What would Redd bring us that we don't already have (considering he is known for his scoring ability)? Trust me, I love Redd and it would be awesome to see him on our squad, but for what we need right now, it wouldn't be smart. We would just be +1 and -1 big man who can play PF. IF we were to trade for Redd, we would need a big to come back apart of the trade. I would go after Charlie Smooth of course. I think the Bucks have been underwhelmed with his performance on their team thus far, and would be willing to part with him. Who else do you consider we trade? If we keep adding players, at that point the trade isn't even worth it. I answered your question above. To me, Redd is far superior to Hedo. Compare their numbers over the last few years. Historically, Redd averages 10 more points a game than Hedo.

Given how cheap Hedo's deal is and that Marion can opt out this summer, I don't see it happening.

He's sounds like a great player AND great team guy.

Though I LOVE the Matrix, this trade would leave us with absolutely no "go-to" guy.

This would be the only trade I'd consider. http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?playe...5~15~15~15&te=&cash= Exactly my thoughts. I like this... I keep thinking Otis wants to find a decent PF and slide Hedo down to the 2 as an 'experiment', which might work out, but I like this a lot. Why would they do that? They would need a lot more from us.

To me, our weakest position is PF. That is obvious. Next would be SG. Even though we have depth, we don't have quality. Moreover, I think Hedo is playing out of his mind and I question whether his play can continue. Can Hedo really sustain being a go-to guy in the 4th? Especially in the playoffs? I have my doubts even though I love his game. Getting Redd would allow us to shift Lewis back to the 3 and give us a nastier core of Redd, Lewis, and Howard for the future. Would we still need a PF? Yes but getting Redd might balance us out better for the long-term. I think the question you have to ask yourself is who has more value, Redd or Turk? To me, it ain't even close. Puleese
