    Magic going in for Chris Paul

I don't know and I can't explain it. Miami is going to be scary good, but something just tells me it may come down crashing at some point, mainly due to egos and what role each one of them has. It's one thing to be all BFF about it when talking about playing together and be all "ahh man we gonna rock dem league brosephs!" than actually make it work. They are all used to being the Batmans of their teams, not the Robins. It may work, but I just feel like how LeBron handled the FA and the last 2 years may come haunting him in the long run. I'm a strong believer in karma so... Just like Shaq right? He didn't do squat once he left the Magic like Lebron did. To be fair, Shaq didn't need the ball in his hands all the time. I'm still skeptical as to how Wade and LeQueen will coexist. Wade and Bosh sure, but throwing in James in there? Not so sure. One guy only knows how to score, the other two likes to score AND pass. No and/or there.

    Paul wants out (with link)

    quote: Originally posted by paul.kennedy: Why are people replying that looks like a novel. I don't wanna read 500 words and you shouldn't either. Do something with your life that matters because in the end when chris paul isn't here you are going to look like a fool. You typed all of the for nothing You're the moron. I am laughing at you for thinking VC for Arenas is an awesome trade. Short enough for you, hot-stuff?

    What has/hasn't happened so far (UPDATE PG 1!!!)

Simulating a GM, insider or someone qualified enough to get paid for their knowledge is the interest. Opinion, observation and prognostication are the reason anyone is on a sports forum. Whatever makes the conversation roll is fine with me. yeah, i agree. The problem is people read "we're trying for player _____" and understand it as "Player ______ is coming to the magic". The only time an insider said this was Rev's infamous "DONE DEAL PAUL TO ORLANDO" post. Agree. 1) Some people crave for any "insider" info 2) Some people give "insider" info (which isn't set in stone) 3) The people that crave for "insider" info get their hopes up 4) "insider" info proves to be false or just doesn't push through 5) People that craved for "insider" info go ape**** and stuff. Typical off-season, I guess.

Last time I checked, the ball's still round. There are favorites but no team should be guaranteed to win against another.

  8. quote: Originally posted by OrlandoNative72:I dont lnow what your thinking. The celtics Made an imptovement by adding J Oneal. Granted hes not dwight. But they did kick our *** in the ECF and they have retained there players and added more in FA, and the draft. Your logic about the celtics is off. By a looong way! The Orlando magic are 1 injury to D12 away from the bottom of the East without having a quality player that can be "affective " creating his own shots. If we do stand pat and make no significant moves we will be in trouble. Jermaine O'Neal? Seriously? Without Dwight, we won't be at the bottom but we surely won't be at the top either. You talk as if Dwight is surrounded by D-League material. Same could be said of other elite teams. One injury to Kobe and the Lakers will be in a world of trouble. Dirk with the Mavs, Carmelo with the Nuggets, Rose with the Bulls, etc etc YOUR logic is way off.

I am a true fan. I just have a very black and white view of competition today we saw uruguay and germany battling for 3rd place......3rd place. does 3rd place matter? of course not. neither team has a shot at winning the world cup championship so todays match was pretty irrelevant. 3rd place is as good as last. its as good as not qualifying for the round of 16. winning 59 games 2 years in a row does not matter being division champs 3 years in a row does not matter setting an nba record for most 3s made in a season does no matter first playoff sweep in franchise history does not matter the journey only matters when you reach the destination. If 3rd place doesn't matter, then why would those teams compete to win that match? Why are there fans there cheering on their teams? Tell a team that has struggled to make it into the World Cup for several years that what they accomplished doesn't matter if the make it in and get into the elimination round, much less end up in third over all. Winning means more based on the journey. If you struggle and overcome adversity, victory is all the sweeter. If it's a cakewalk and really presents no challenge, it feels meaningless. Therefore, the journey must mean something. You're an idiot. Thank you! Can't bring myself to say it but that's pretty satisfying to see.

  12. quote: Originally posted by OrlandoMagicFan:Everybody is trying to improve this offseason but us. Fkin hate Otis Smith. Lazy *** piece of **** GM. Unless he pulls a miracle for a star player like CP3(wont happen), we are going to just be dominated next season by all these teams that keep improving. Will you kindly list down all the teams that improved this off-season which you think will dominate Orlando?
  13. quote: Originally posted by Nyce_1: quote: Originally posted by Chase:Everyone is getting better except us true, but we were better than everyone else. They're catching up to us. Otis doesn't like to stay complacent and that's why I think he'll make something happen next week. Exactly. I don't know how a lot of people here are missing that. And I don't buy the whole "everyone is getting better except us" idea. Rondo can't carry the Celtics alone, Cavs lost LeQueen, and the Hawks overpaid for a player that will not help them get beat by less than 20 points against us. So uh, let's see. The threat that the Cavs and Celtics posed for the last two years will essentially be replaced by the Bulls' and Heat's. That's it. I don't know where all the panic is coming from.

I also really like the idea that: "Hey smart guy! Why don't you hang out with your smart friends away from us totally not smart people!" is somehow supposed to be an insult to me. No it is not an insult to you, but everyone with any intelligence can figure out that you have a very high IQ. It is not really necessary for you to bash other people who are not as gifted as you. I hope you're joking because this is an insult of absurd proportions to a lot of good people on this message board.
