He expects to come over next season. Maybe this is why Otis said he doesn't want to make any trades before the deadline. I guess he's counting on having Fran and Battie to start next season so we will then be overloaded at PF. I guess maybe he wants to let all the expirings expire and just use the MLE to get a good SG. I dunno. I think this is what i expect. If the expiring contracts are used Don't expect a front Court player. I would love to see a trade that involved Corey Magette. He would fill our two guard spot perfectly.

Not a good deal for Orlando. Moore is the player you say but that kind of player is a dime a dozen. Hedo also has more value then getting a player in a contract year and for a throw in. If you include a 1st round from KNICKS or SAC then I think the value is about the same. Trust me. I am not a Knicks fan. Sac is already giving up two starters. They are not going to throw in a first. Knicks are already picking up the bad contract of Kenny Thomas, they are not going to throw in a first. Come to think of it. We are talking about Isaiah:-) SAC would be giving up 2 starters (Role Players in my opinon) on a loosing team. Plus the Magic are giving up an expiring contract which does have value. Moore is no look to stick around so the pot would have to be sweetend for the Magic to bite or we are looking at another Darko situation again. Not that this is a bad trade I just think there are better options coming our way. Now i would be willing to take Brad Miller and John Salmons some way if i could. I like Brad Miller. He can shoot and rebound. But 2 questions, wouldn't he push Dwight out of the Center position and second, can he fit in the 'Run and Gundy' offense?

I think the second half of the season is where we see the difference between this year's team and last. I don't only believe, i expect (barring Injury of course)us to win 50 games. On a side note, i want us to pull a trade. I want to see more JJ! I'm all for Bogans and Arroyo to Goldenstate.

So you might have to come with a better deal then that. But i like Salmons and Moore. But the kings would instanly better. Bibby Martin Turk Randolph Miller Damm!!!!! Yeah. I feel you. I was looking at it from Sac's point of view. that would be crazy. The olnly question is...who would play D?

Hey guy's. I'm a magic fan from Jamaica and i've been following the magic since Shaq and Penny. I've been reading the boards avidly for a few months and decided to join. I know it's not a great way to start but this trade has been in my head for a while and i wanted to know what you guys thought about it. Orlando Trade Breakdown Incoming Players John Salmons 6-6 SG from Miami-Fla. 17.1 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 3.3 apg in 36.4 minutes Mikki Moore 7-0 C from Nebraska 7.8 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 0.7 apg in 29.2 minutes Outgoing Players Pat Garrity 6-9 PF from Notre Dame 2.3 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 0.6 apg in 12.5 minutes Hedo Turkoglu 6-8 SF / SG from Turkey (Foreign) 18.7 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 4.2 apg in 37.7 minutes New York Trade Breakdown Incoming Players Ron Artest 6-7 SF from St. John's 18.4 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 4.3 apg in 39.9 minutes Kenny Thomas 6-7 PF from New Mexico 1.4 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 0.6 apg in 12.2 minutes Outgoing Players Zach Randolph 6-9 PF from Michigan State 17.0 ppg, 10.1 rpg, 1.9 apg in 32.0 minutes Sacramento Trade Breakdown Incoming Players Pat Garrity 6-9 PF from Notre Dame 2.3 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 0.6 apg in 12.5 minutes Hedo Turkoglu 6-8 SF / SG from Turkey (Foreign) 18.7 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 4.2 apg in 37.7 minutes Zach Randolph 6-9 PF from Michigan State 17.0 ppg, 10.1 rpg, 1.9 apg in 32.0 minutes Outgoing Players John Salmons 6-6 SG from Miami-Fla. 17.1 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 3.3 apg in 36.4 minutes Mikki Moore 7-0 C from Nebraska 7.8 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 0.7 apg in 29.2 minutes Ron Artest 6-7 SF from St. John's 18.4 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 4.3 apg in 39.9 minutes Kenny Thomas 6-7 PF from New Mexico 1.4 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 0.6 apg in 12.2 minutes I think it's pretty fair for all teams. Why for Orlando? We get a REAL power Forward who can hit the open Jumper and Crash the boards and defend. We get a SG/SF that can handle the rock,defend and score a little. We lose Hedo but i think we benefit. we could have a line-up like this. PG-nelson/arroyo SG-Mo Evans/bogans/Redick SF-Rashard Lewis/John Salmons PF-Miki Moore/Cook C-Dwight Howard/ Adonal Foyle i would follow that up with a sign and trade with Golden State. Say, Arroyo and Bogan's for Monta Ellis. A trade like this would allow the magic to play Redick at the Back up 2. PG-nelson/ellis SG-Mo Evans/Redick SF-Rashard Lewis/John Salmons PF-Miki Moore/Cook C-Dwight Howard/ Adonal Foyle. Your thoughts, be kind.
