    The Official J.J. Redick Appreciation Thread

    As hard as I was on him during his first two years in the league, he quickly turned me into a fan, and more recently became my favorite player on the Magic. When I broke the trade news to my four year old, he started crying. Needless to say, JJ's grit, determination, professionalism, and leadership through example will be missed by all.
  2. Dwight's heart, Dwight's character, Dwight's commitment to the team, Dwight's professionalism were all massively overrated. His talent, however, is not.
  3. I'll take Hedo Turkoglu for $100 Alex.
  4. I would never wish a career ending injury on anybody...but if it were to happen, I would celebrate like hell.

    Trade Details to stop the negativity

    Everyone should consider the business side of this trade as well. No way Devos signs off on a plan of paying top dollar for a mediocre, playoff pergatory product.

    Bynum best center in the league?

    LAL by far is the favorite to win an NBA title this year. The team that they have BOUGHT is unparalleled in the league (although the LT penalty will be severe and will continue to grow punitivelywith time). Not even the defending champs in MIA can hold the Lakers jock right now. The other part of this discussion, the comparison of Bynum and Howard demonstrates once more why ESPN is a joke. I don't know how many times over the last few years I've been forced to listen to the ESPN pundits argue that Dwight is little more than a one dimensional player that lacks the ability to create for himself, create for teammates, or finish at the free throw line. Meanwhile, Bynum has been hailed as the 2nd coming of Hakeem. Now that Howard is the one wearing the purple and gold, ESPN hasn't stopped talking about how Bynum is a distant 2nd best to Howard.

    Trade Details to stop the negativity

    The thing about the Nuggets trade is, you realize how much better the original suurounding cast was WITHOUT Melo around. This is where the praise is generated from IMO. The criticism - Even though the Nuggets are placed on a pedestal for the pieces they received by jettisoning their franchise player, what did they actually accomplish? They were the 5th seed and lost in the 1st round of the playoffs in 2010-11. They were the 6th seed and lost again in the first round of the playoffs this past season. Is that what we want here in Orlando? To be a middle of the pack playoff team that doesn't stand a chance of winning a playoff series, much less a title?

    Trade Details to stop the negativity

    Personally, I tink it's hilarious that the Magic are getting slammed for this trade when the Nuggets have been praised from Denver to the pearly white gates for the deal they pulled off. Nuggets deal: Carmelo, Billups, Williams, Carter and Balkman for Chandler, Felton, Gallinari, Mozgov, (1) first round pick, (2) 2nd round picks, and 3million cash. Magic deal: Dwight, JRich, Duhon, Earl Clark for Aflalo, Harrington, Josh McRoberts, Christian Eyenga, Nicola Vucevic, Moe Harkless, (3) first round picks, (2) 2nd round picks, and a reported 17mil TPE Comparison going out: The Nuggets traded away (2) hall of fame players, and provided the Knicks with either cap relief in the form of Billups. Carter was a couple million worth of cap relief, and Balkman was a previous first round pick. The Magic traded away an all-world center, but also unburdened themselves of two Otis follies. The inclusion of Earl Clark is a bit frustrating since young players with upside that play on the cheap are seemingly what we need to rebuild, but you never know what was demanded of us to make things work, or if Earl's inclusion specifically garnered us more in a return package. Comparison coming back: The Nuggets received Chandler, a 7.4mil per season 13ppg guy, similar to what the Magic received in Aflalo. Felton who was underwhelming in a Nuggets jersey and unhappy about being underutilized alongside rookie Ty Lawson, was parlayed into Andre Miller & the #26pick in the very next draft. The Magic can similarly trade veteran Harrington away for compensation in the form of additional picks, or use his non-guaranteed, soon to expire contract as additional cap space. The Nuggets plucked overrated, injury risk Gallinari from the Knicks. Gallinari has missed roughly 50 games, 30 games and 20 games respectively in three of his four NBA seasons while averaging 15ppg and 5rpg. The Magic have added Moe Harkless, who hasn't stepped foot on an NBA court yet, but who was one of the most talked about players to improve his draft status during workouts. The Nuggets received Mozgov and the Magic received Vucevic - a push. Out of what's remaining from the two deals, the Magic severely have the upperhand. The Nuggets got the expiring contract of Anthony Carter, we got the expiring contract of Josh McRoberts. The Nuggest received (3) picks, the Magic received (5) picks. The Nuggets received 3million cash, The Magic received a 17mil TPE. The cherry on top for the Magic is high flying dunk machine Eyenga. IMO, the Magic deal is CLEARLY better than the Nuggets deal, leading me to ask, do the Magic ever get a fair shake with the media?

    Dwight Howard Appreciation Thread

    Dwight has humiliated himself, betrayed his image, and proven that there are even fewer honorable athletes in the world of professional sports than the miniscule number originally believed to be true. Next year, I will be the guy in row 4 wearing a #12 Magic jersey with the name "COWARD" on it. Anybody with enough time and understanding of the internet, I will personally fund the creation of www.dwightCoward.com. Our empire will be endless.

    If the Nets win the lottery would you trade Dwight?

    where are these rumors?

    The SVG Appreciation Thread

    It's much worse than that. SVG worked at his Amway office until 2AM the day he was fired. He received a call at 3AM that he was fired. Not only do they not have the decency to fire him face to face, but they wait all day and all night for him to leave his office before showing him the door. Classless!!!!

    The SVG Appreciation Thread

    It is truly a shame that NBA coaches are not permitted to demand that their players be accountable, disciplined professionals.
  13. I keep wondering if either POR or NO would trade us both of their lottery picks and a player for a Dwight rental? POR's picks/Batum for Dwight/Hedo (I believe POR can absorb the extra salaries) NO's picks/Ariza for Dwight/Hedo I'd pretty much do anything to get rid of Dwight right now.

    Dwight needs to hang out with Tim Duncan

    Remember waaayyyy back, when Otis said he wanted to model our franchise after the Spurs??? Poppovich/Buford -vs- Weisbrod/Otis Poppovich -vs- BHill/SVG Robinson -vs- Tree Rollins Duncan -vs- Dwight Tony Parker -vs- Jameer Manu -vs- VC/JRich Now look at the Spurs draft history: Pick37, Dejaun Blair Pick26, George Hill Pick 45, Goran Dragic Pick28, Tiago Splitter Pick28, Leandro Barbosa Pick26, John Salmons Pick55, Luis Scola Pick28, Tony Parker Pick 57, Manu Ginobli The Magic on the other hand chose to not workout or interview draft candidates, and probably would have been better off playing pin the tail on the draft pick. In the end, Otis' strategy to model our team after San Antonio, ironically resembles Santa Anna's blunder at the Alamo - void of any discernable purpose.
