or maybe we should lock it at 4999

so post 5000 is coming here soon and I want to be part of it. so lets make it happen..

Barnes = contract over = free agent. He can sign where ever he wants. We did trade him. If the amount is right and we have the room Otis would re-sign him. The Chris Paul thread in the Hall of Fame now, has all the possible trade talk ever, well so far this off season. Other things will pop every now and them. But the real deal is that we won't know until it happens

No we would still be over the cap, so no money for Melo. Also Carmelo is discussing an extension with Denver last time I checked.

So nothing yet? I'll check back in after another 20 pages or so.

Chris Paul is going to retire to travel the world, no more basketball for CP3

Say what you want to say, we all want the news, true or not we need to read this stuff and know what is going on around...so yes please

But what if he signs for the MLE comes back and sucks again. Unlikely, but Gortat almost lost the value he once had, well he lost some, although being a big man, a serviceable one is rare. a 6'5" Guard who runs and shoots well, well there's tons of those out there..as role players not stars. So I don't think it would be the same... isn't this nice, some what of smart basketball talk..lol

I don't think Otis will want to commit so much more money into what we already have, basically on a possible bad contract for a role player. We already have lots of money tied up. I don't want us to end like NY with a huge payroll filled with a bunch of role players. I want JJ back as much as PEC, where is she? but we have to get the emotional part out of the business and make sure we still have a winner in Orlando after all is said and done

You are all forgetting what is really important to get from this thread is that Jareth will leave if JJ gets the full MLE so we can only hope...

Anything getting out is something he WANTS out. To put it dramatically, the "Age of Insiders" is over. thank you the chris paul rumors were nothing but otis flushing the rats out of the holes Oh wait..so now you are saying that there ARE leaks at RDV that Magical has access to? Because before you said that his information was fake and made up. Just trying to figure out which storyline you are going with here. Figure it out and let us know. What? I don't get that from his post at all.

Not really, it says that they are looking for a third team to take Okafor. Its still on..of course that is if all this talk is true.

I would be open for him to come back, This way my Subway Turk-A-Shoe will make sense again, so will all the figurines and crap I have of Hedo. But seriously, only if he comes with Bosh...this won't happen, so no

Threads like this are precisely why you don't see me post here anymore. Legit basketball discussions were once the rule, not the exception. Too many nerds think they're cool on the internet because nobody can actually see them sitting behind their computer in their Spiderman Underoos, sipping on strawberry milk and jerking off to a JC Penney's lingerie catalog. And these are the same people claiming to be basketball masterminds. It's just too sad to even bother participating in anymore. Smack is right. I am surprised that the Orlando Magic organization isn't appalled at what this board has become. I hear the Mods talk about the importance of tolerating the tomfoolery that goes on but I don't hear about being considerate of ALL the Magic Fans that visit this site. Why don't you all take it upon yourselves then to contribute things that you think are more appropriate to discuss. If you do not add to the site what you want to see in it, how will it get here? Like I said. If your style is more serious discussion, go ahead and start it, I'm sure lots more people will follow. But you can't complain about something and not do anything about it. The content on this site is not created by the mods. It is all create by you guys. It is the responsibility of all the members to provide content. If you don't provide it, then it won't happen.

Also, understand that a lot of the problems are fixed and dealt with behind scene. PM's etc. Just because you don't see action doesn't mean we don't do things to warn and suspend people. It happens almost daily, reminders and messages are sent to try and keep the community going.

quote: Originally posted by jack l j:it is sad smack but i totally agree. i still read but get very little from it. i dont know what else to say. i love knowing about the magic but this has gotten out of hand. Then shouldn't you and others do something about it. If you complain about the content but don't provide any of the content you want to see, then how will it be here? If you want to see smarter basketball talk, start it. Others will follow

One thing I feel people ignore is the fact that we are just fans like you all. We where regular members at one point and now we got the opportunity to help the team we love and follow. We are not payed to do this, we do it because we love our team. It seems like people just hate on authority for the heck of it. Most members think that we are here to fight them, ignore them, put them down and be nazis or whatever. We don't want to have to control you guys and/or tell you what to not do. But we have some rules to follow, if you break them, we need to let you know. Obviously we try to understand and be flexible, some of you might remember our TOS by the word test we tried a while back. People where getting warnings daily, because some members thought we needed this and that people where getting away with murder. Its stupid. That doesn't work. Then you have to remember that we are all different. Different cultures, races, social levels, etc. We all have different ideas. Just because someone else thinks different it doesn't mean they are necessarily right or wrong. We need to be adults and if we don't agree with something, fine argue it, but don't take it personal. This is the internet anyways. Most of us will never ever ever meet in person, so what's the point.

Is a mod exempt from making an apology? What is a reasonable amount of time before hearing something? Yeah, kinda.

quote: Originally posted by TreyTime: quote: Originally posted by Catman:I agree that Junkie trolled the boards with his own misleading thread titles. But now you have threads filled up with banter between the same 3-4 guys that spend way too much time here and probably need sun and female companionship. If it was actually funny, it would work, but it is C level comedy at best. Your move Cutestory. By the way, if anyone on these boards needed the female companionship it was Junkie. He probably wouldn't be so angry all the time if he got some. . Come on man, no need to mess with the guy when he's not here. It happened, maybe this will help him think about it and come back as the contributing member he once was and maybe stop being so negative.

They can try to tell their fans, hey we are getting two All-Stars for one that was injured all year and we don't know if he'll ever be the same..I hate getting excited before a deal is done and its just rumors

quote: Originally posted by rtillaree:the Franchise doesn't need saving, this team merely needs a nudge over the hump for crying out loud. No, you are wrong, break up the team and sell it. We are doomed. Its over. I will just follow Lebron where ever.
