Anderson should start at PF not because traditional/small lineup thing, simply because right now Anderson will be much more effective then Lewis

its' only a rumor, i don't think that Memphis GM is so stupid to agree with trade which remind me a Gasol robbery

I mean we were only 52-30 last year! did we win a chapnionship ? not even close ... we need to fix some weak points to be a championship material but Otis is clearly incompetent Yeah. Let us use your logic. That way, every year there will be 29 GM's looking for a job. so your logic is - you don't need to try to be better every year because you have championship guaranteed with current roster ? great, you are an genius ...

But Emory you may be right, Arthur is kind of undersized. We need a banger (although I've been sayin that for years). I don't case what you say, because you clearly doesn't understand how to build a good team thing is Batum and DeAndre Jordan had an Allstar potential, Koufos and Arthur would be best compliment to Dwight but we sign Lee who isnt'a even a starter material (he isn't better then Evans/Bogans/JJ) and with MLE we will sing who ? because we just sign SG then signing Maggette od Pietrus doesnt' make any sense, so which good free agent is aviable at PG and PF position ? ... nobody ...

enough is enough, FIRE OTIS !!!

OTIS IS AN IDIOT !!!!!!!

best situation that could happend Batum - best talent at SG DeAndre Jodran - best talent as PF/C Arthur or Koufos - best fit at PF/C anyone of thouse could be great

omg Ajinca so we can choose Batum or Arthur or Koufor or DeAndre Jordan i'm hoping for Batum, but Arthur od Koufors would be good fit also, and DeAndre Jodran could be good also (another Dwight) anyone else = diseaster

Batum or Arthur or Koufor, this should be great, or even DeAndre Jordan wow

yeees, good big will be aviable :-)

imho they want Batum, he is perfect replacement for their aging perimeter wing players (such as Michael Finley, Brent Barry and Bruce Bowen)

1. Nicolas Batum 2. Brandon Rush 3. Kosta Koufos 4. Marreese Speights 5. any athletic PF/C with great potential (Darrell Arthur, DeAndre Jordan, JaVale McGee, Alexis Ajinca, Serge Ibaka, Jason Thompson) ps: don't draft SG !!! (Batum and Rush are only exception because they are too good to pass), we should fill our SG needs via MLE (Maggette/Pietrus), and fixing one position twice while we obviously have many other flaws would be foolish

hell no

we can talk about their skills all day long but all I care is one fact - Magic would be nothing without Dwight while Houston is actually better without Yao

Jameer Hinrich theoretically could be slight improvement at PG but there are dozens easier available players who could help us more btw: Hinrich was main reason why Bulls sucked so much last season, so if last season was real indicator of his real potential than he doesn't even belong to the NBA

Rush

Hedo for #5 ? Yes if OJ Mayo will be available at #5, otherwise no trade Hedo ? Yes if we can get a starting PF, otherwise no

quote: Originally posted by The Solution:I don't see Jamison, Maggette, or any other big dollar player walking and receiving approx. 5 million less a year. What would likely happen is their agent would tell the present team that his player is not going to sign and push for a trade. The Magic would need to move Turkoglu for another big time player, and I don't see that happening. Jamiston is big dollar player (and i don't think he will accept MLE too), but Maggette clearly isn't, there isn't a single team in the NBA who will offer him more then full MLE (or you really think that player who isn't even starter for weak Clippers team deserves something like 10M per year contract ?)

with so many options available, there is quite big chance that one of them will fall, thats why i think that we should look more at 11-19 projected picks then at 20-30

btw: i'm very surprised that most people talks here only about Dorsey, Hendrix and Hansbrough, because there are plenty other options (players like H. Thabeet, J. McGee, A. Randolph, D. Arthur, K. Love, J. Thompson, S. Ibaka etc.) and in my opinion most of them looks like better options then those three

Most fantasy drafts have him going top 5. As for his brother, most of the same drafts don't even have him slated to be drafted in the first round at all. There are much better options out there. actually only reason why Robin Lopez isn't listed in 08 first round is that everybody expect him to stay one more year in college (he is listed as a top 15 pick in in both nbadraft.net and draftexpress.com 09 mock drafts)

why we should wait till end of the season ? we have seen enough evidence of his incompetency, fire him now

i like M. Miller trade a lot, but i would do that only if they add one of their young PG's (Crittenton or Lowry), and only if we still can do following trade for a PF (Turk for Kirilenko for example)
