Otis was high on Speight, he never mention anything about Thompson. If Speight was available, he would've been a Magic. he may have taken Speights, but they (he and Dave) were very high on Thompson, Dave followed him to another workout with a different team...sorry you didnt read that in the Sentinel or on FL Today...but, it's legit...I like how you reply to the majority of my posts...makes me feel special... I redd just about every article about the Magic before the draft, and the only names that kept popping up was Speights, C-Lee, and CDR. If Thompson was on Otis radar, he was listed behind the 3 players listed above, and by the way Otis was looking for a 2nd round pick, not a 1st.

quote: Originally posted by SmackDaddy:Just looking for an explanation of why JJ Redick is the first player off the bench? As of yet he hasn't made a single field goal in 3 games (unexpected) while also being largely ineffective playing defense (completely expected). JJ open the floor up for our guys when he's on the court. Redick shots aren't falling, but he's still a threat to opposing teams, with his outside shooting.

Jameer better get ready for D.Rose, he has 22/6/2 in the 3rd quarter against the Grizzles.

Thompson and Hawes are going to be a real problem in the future, and Donte Green game will come along as well. I mentioned that before. I'm impressed with Thompson the most. No wonder the Kings scooped him up before his predicted spot in the 20s. He can definitly be a 20/10 guy in his 3rd or 4th year. Yeah, Thompson game remind me of Antwan Jamison and Al Harrington, his shot is money from the outside. I got to see him play in this summer league out in Jersey, he averaged 35 ppg and 14 rpg a game.

That was a great win, but I must say the Kings have a bright future ahead of them. Thompson and Hawes are going to be a real problem in the future, and Donte Green game will come along as well.

JJ and C-Lee are doing alot of chatting on the bench, I wonder what JJ is telling the rook.

Kevin Martin and Shawn Marion have the ugliest jumper in the NBA.

quote: Originally posted by avitale8:Not really in this thread, in particular, but on this board, people need to chill out with the panic, some of the threads I've been seeing are hilarious. However, if we don't beat Sacramento I think it might be time to start worrying, cuz I really think the Kings are the worst team in the NBA. Kings look like an AAU team. Only dude worth anything is Martin. You must don't know John Salmons, Jason Thompson and Spencer Hawes.

quote: Originally posted by rtillaree:the aspect of them being young is about the only bright spot, it's a dim one, but that's about the only area where we should be able to take advantage...that and their front end...ATL and Memphis are both young teams, and they both killed us...hopefully we can capitalize on the match up tonight...because Martin and Salmons are monsters...and Theus appears to be a pretty solid coach... on a side note, am I the only one thinking that we should let MP come off the bench for a few games? go retro with a Jameer/Bogans/Hedo/Shard/Dwight lineup to start and inject MP/AJ/Battie/Gortat as needed...idk, might be silly, but MP seems to be throwing out starting 5 off track...just until he becomes acclimated... No way, Kevin Martin will get off to a good start with Bogans guarding him. We got to have MP on K-Mart at the start of the game, hopefully MP won't get into early foul trouble. I don't know why Otis didn't go after Matt Barnes or Gerald Green to help out our bench.

quote: Originally posted by rtillaree:Brad Miller is suspended for 3 more games for violating the drug policy last season... Kings starting lineup will be Beno Udrih Kevin Martin John Salmons Mikki Moore Spencer Hawes only real good news is that they are young and still trying to find their identity and that they are a pretty thin team in terms of quality depth, like us...hoping for a win, but preparing for another disaster...Magic have me with a sad face right now... The Grizzles were young too, and we seen what happen in that game. The Magic have to play team basketball, and stop thinking that they suppose to win games against certain teams.

quote: I would venture to say we have the worst bench in the NBA. absolutely, Otis should've went after Matt Barnes or Gerald Green to help the bench out. This bench is worst than the one we had last year, and I thought we were trying to progess.

quote: Group I: The Fluke Rule guys Usually, I depend on Fluke Rule players to build a quarter of my All-Decline roster, but they're a scarce breed this season. Only four players qualify for the Fluke Rule, rather than the usual six or seven. Of those, one will miss most or all of the season (Brendan Haywood) and another doesn't have a team yet (Bonzi Wells). That leaves me with a two-man Fluke Rule roster. The Fluke Rule, if you aren't familiar, states that a player who is older than 28, has a Player Efficiency Rating higher than 14 and increased his PER by at least three points from the previous season is 90 percent likely to perform worse the next season. Last season, the rule went 7-for-7 with Jamaal Tinsley, Mikki Moore, Darrell Armstrong, Chucky Atkins, Tim Duncan, Devin Brown and Ruben Patterson. quote: Hedo Turkoglu, MagicTurkoglu was 28 last season; 28-year-old Fluke Rule guys tend to drop off less harshly than their older brethren. In other respects, however, he's a classic Fluke Rule guy -- he'd never played that well before last season, he shot unusually well on long 2-pointers (48.5 percent, compared to 45.1 percent the previous three seasons) and he glided through the 82-game schedule without suffering so much as a hangnail. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=h...-Decline-Team-081031 Hollinger is a certified Magic hater, he always has something negative to say about the Magic.

quote: Originally posted by Skywise316: quote: Originally posted by truth393:The funny thing about is Ariza is out in LA balling, he's finally breaking out this year, and we over here struggling at the position position he plays. *sigh* Again, not completely true. Ariza plays Hedo's position. I agree that C-Lee at least deserves a chance. It's not like ANYONE else, Dwight included, has earned locked in minutes. Hell I'm up for that C-Lee at point guard experiment at this point. Ariza played alot at the 2 when he was here, he was suppose to start at the 2 last year, but for some reason Stan didn't see him fitting into his system.

The funny thing about is Ariza is out in LA balling, he's finally breaking out this year, and we over here struggling at the position position he plays.

If Jameer was on the Grizzles, he would be the 3rd PG on the depth chart, and probably on the inactive list. Otis is the Matt Millien of the NBA, when it come to negotiating players contract.

quote: Originally posted by rtillaree:well Portland inked Webster (injured right now) to a 4 year extension...wonder if they plan on moving Outlaw down the line once Webster returns...not rumor milling, just thinking...Outlaw wants to play and I think he prefers to start...idk... I doubt if they plan on trading Outlaw, Nate like to play Outlaw with the second unit anyway.

quote: Originally posted by avitale8:Bogans really impressing me on defense tho You got to be kidding me.

Everybody talks about Portland being the team of the future, I think Memphis will eventually give them a run for that title.

Jameer is a bum, Lowry straight bully his way to the hole when Jameer is guarding him.

quote: Originally posted by emory889:I don't agree with it but I somewhat understand his logic. If he is going to write an article about "fluke guys" it makes sense to select a 28 year old player that out of no where had a career year. Turk always was a good player, he just wasn't getting enough mins early in his career Turk had to play behind Peja, when he was in Sac, and when he was with the Spurs, he got mins and even started half the season for the Spurs in 03-04, but they had him playing out of position at PF, and Brian Hill didn't know how to use Turk.
