SMH -1 the little things hooper, like even concerts skipping orlando because the ceiling supports int he old arena couldn't support massive light shows, or hardwiring hd cables into the arena, making it plug and play for abc, espn, tnt to just show up and start their show, to which means we might get a couple of more national games. then the fans who have been behind the team since we were kids and tired of the bottlenecking of crowds and the old facilities in general. the little things, oh yeah that whole basketball thing, keeping players, getting the all star game, maybe a college basketball tourney... i like it for the local implications as well.

quote: Originally posted by TrueMagicFan07: I have checked the last 3 pages and have not seen this posted by anyone. But the Orlando Sentinel is reporting that Matt has not been signed by the Raptors. quote: Originally reported by the Orlando Sentinel - July 20, 2010 - 2:24 PM: "Matt Barnes remains in free-agent limbo" Here is the Link: http://blogs.orlandosentinel.c...ree-agent-limbo.html i posted the espn article this morning, it's probably 4 pages in by now, it's stating why barnes can't go to toronto for the deal he wants. sucks for him too, sounds like a good pay day plus playing time for him, which seems like what he wants.

i don't want to see him go either, but even if we offered him what we have left then he'd probably still request a sign and trade to toronto for that amount. we had an earlier thread stating that they've told rashard to start practicing at the sf position, i'm not sure how much merit there is to that, and then we signed richardson obviously to use him. the resigning of jj redick and as of so far the retaining of the vince contract, all of these things means one thing for barnes, less playing time, he was angry enough that he didn't get to play major important minutes with that last second win atlanta had over us with josh smith's put back dunk, let alone his criticism of stan's rotation in the playoffs, i think he's done here considering all of these things.

and otis said the gic never proposed anything, i guess we all know otis likes to see what sort of market price a player can attract for himself first.

Hard to keep him on the floor when he does something dumb for every good thing he does. ^this. But SVG does need to learn to manage the Bass/Anderson thing correctly. Play Bass against bigger teams like the Lakers and Celtics, and do it throughout the season. Duherr. I hope it goes like it went with Gortat.. in his first year with the Magic he played sparingly until the end of the season, when it was clear that he should be playing instead of Foyle. It wasn't until Gortat's 2nd year with the Magic that he started getting a lot of burn and started making an impact. Hopefully the same thing happens to Bass this season. with stan's short rotation do you see lewis then at the 3? i always ask you this, i figure you'll punch me in the face at some point.

lew's jumpshot is extremely accurate, if he wasn't just used as a catapult he'd really put up alot more facing the basket with a small forward on him. front line of dwight, bass, and lew please.

so i guess barnes to toronto is a no go? how long is it before barnes yells at the magic on twitter? do we have a count down for that?

208? anyone?

quote: Originally posted by fishybashi: We won game 4 and 5 vs. Boston when Bass got extended minutes. Dunno why SVG stopped playing him in Game 6. Bass is a huge weapon for us! Use him! Also, all this talk on Arenas. I dunno about that one. He will facilitate ball, but the boy is too injury prone! Wait it out a year, and get another young star in his prime next season. me and all of wall street were wondering the same thing. nate robinson took it to us in that last game though, he did his one man show thing and it worked.

i always like a good fight too...

did anyone else see the espn article on this? i'm sure it's been posted, i saw they signed kleiza, man i wanted that guy here, he's so sneaky and good.... very hard nose, very bogans like in that one aspect. edit: the article quote: Veteran swingman Matt Barnes, one of the most coveted free agents left on the open market, announced Monday night that he is headed to the Toronto Raptors. But the limited sign-and-trade options available to Orlando -- Barnes' last team -- could scuttle the deal, according to sources close to the situation. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5393637

i'll agree with you even though i think tara is always pretty... are they using the same photographers as they would normally use for the players? the lighting is unflattering and the poses are just bleh, new photographer please, and stop with this intruding florescent type lighting and go with a softer yellow, i know the dancers have to dance good first and look good second but it's really not bringing out the best facial features of these women.

quote: Originally posted by OrlandoNKentucky: the board is starting to fill up a little bit...anyone thats left stand out? talent wise, i think Richard Jefferson is probably the best. would the spurs be interested in a sign and trade for him? yeah i only wish the spurs were that stupid to take our vc contract, although i bet they could use our gortat in the middle, timmy isn't as young as he used to be, and the west is always a competitive place for big men who want the minutes.

quote: Originally posted by ThuglifeJ: Yes but finishing at the rim is a cakewalk for these THREE guys when they get in the paint 1v1.. It is for Vince too but the thing is Vince cant get to those spots in the paint to elevate like he once could, like Wade and Lebron and even Bosh (hes quick) now can. this is why i think we keep all of our big men, there will be plenty of hard fouls needed this coming year in our own division.

I'm not a fan of us starting JJ next to another poor defender whether that's Jameer or Arenas. i'm not in favor of this defensively, as well as offensively someone who may or may not be at the all star level anymore? i mean i don't know the guy's stats post his knee issues.

quote: Originally posted by Jareth Cutestory: quote: Originally posted by SmackDaddy: Wonder if the mods will spend the next 3 hours removing all off-topic remarks so that those of us that would like to talk basketball CAN FOR ONCE. Unfortunately the VC alliance made it impossible to discuss the trade without defending him without using rationale. why don't you just restate everything i say?

quote: Originally posted by SmackDaddy: quote: Originally posted by KillingInTheNameOf: quote: Originally posted by echo4papa: Carter is at least an expiring contract, which should become more valuable the closer we get to the trade deadling, while Gilbert has severl more years of some serious cash to be paid. When Blackhennie was promoting the idea of acquiring Arenas, this is why I was more in favor of trading Shard, and using VC, Gortat, potentially Nelson to address PF & the Wing. Of course, that calls for an extreme makeover. If this trade actually materialized, the Magic would take steps backwards defensively, & on the boards...getting smaller at both wing positions & losing the best backup C in the league. Orlando really would complete the transformation to Pheonix with Dwight. This is an enormous IF, but... What if the proposed deal to acquire Arenas was one deal that would setup a second deal sending Jameer/Gortat to Philly in exchange for Iggy and first rounder? Arenas/Duhon/??(Jwill) Redick/Pietrus Iggy/QRich/Robinson Shard/RA Dwight/Bass/Orton I only post this because I cannot see Otis bringing on an injury/financial liability in exchange for our single biggest trade asset, and then playing Arenas at the SG spot which weakens our rotation while also making me scratch my head about matching JJ. and in actuality someone named 'chen dynasty' made a comment like yours on page 14: quote: 1st post...this trade has me thinking. If washington is indeed willing to include their first round pick (high pick), otis might use it in a package with jameer and gortat along with our first round pick for chris paul. this enables us to put together a reasonable trade straight up for paul. so now, we take on arenas contract instead of okafors, which is much more logical to me. of course this hinges on NO accepting the trade. my 2 cents. but as you can see, he went with the trade for arenas, then trade with the hornets route.

quote: Originally posted by SmackDaddy: Wonder if the mods will spend the next 3 hours removing all off-topic remarks so that those of us that would like to talk basketball CAN FOR ONCE. we can't, some of us started talking about how washed up vc is compared to arenas, to which arenas' contract is that horrible for what he may or may not bring with his prior injury issues, but we got blindsided by every vince fan calling us haters, i tried to argue the fair point of the fact that vince isn't bringing what we need to have at the offensive end, even though he has a great shot, but again was still yelled at, at this point cutestory started making passes at me.
