    Derek in :

    would you go back to draft night and choose Mario Chalmers instead of C-Lee? I like Lee but...we need a real pg.Orlando is unable to draft a player they can use right away unless they get the #1 pick.

    Steve Kyler:

    See that is where we disagree... I like Chalmers, but the Magic did not, and still do not view their weakness as point guard.. all shortcomings aside... On draft night the Magic knew they were passing on Keyon Dooling and Maurice Evans, so they needed a two guard and Courtney was far and away the best player for them... later they signed Pietrus... I don't think Chalmers looks as good in Orlando because of the system Stan runs... I wouldn't have been mad, but seeing how Courtney is on the floor and in the locker room, he is going to be a big part of the Magic's future... he'll be that player everyone hoped JJ was going to be.

     

    I definitely wouldn't be mad if Otis drafted Chalmers over Lee. Chalmers is 5th in the league in steals, and he broke Miami franchise record, with 9 steals in one game.

    So is this a thread about the bench or a thread about JJ and Cook? I'm confused.

     

    Both of them are apart of the bench right?

    Rodriguez On The Move?

     

    According to one source today, the Portland Trail Blazers are going to meet with guard Sergio Rodriguez to discuss the possiblity of trading him. This comes as a response to Rodriguez saying earlier in the week that he would like to be moved to a team that would give him more of a role.

     

    Honestly, he might have more of a role in Portland if he were taking better advantage of his opportunities. Rodriguez has played in all seven of the Blazers' games yet is averaging only two points per game on 33% shooting - 20% from behind the arc. To earn meaningful minutes he's going to have to do something with the ones he gets now, and considering how well Rudy Fernandez, Steve Blake, and Brandon Roy are playing together, he had better start getting his act together.

     

    When you have a promising young rookie in Jerryd Bayless sitting on the bench getting no minutes at all, you have to be concerned about your own performence. If Rodriguez continues to shoot as poorly has he has so far, it's a matter of time before Nate McMillan decides to give Bayless a few of those minutes now taken up by Rodriguez. If Bayless plays well, it could be Rodriguez sitting out games entirely.

    Want to know what's ugly about his jump shot? He missed the basket! LOL

     

    I find this whole thread really hillarious. God help JJ get a trade! Help some of these people with a pair of glasses because they can't see what has gone on recently in the games because SVG is getting zilch from the bench and it doesn't have anything to do with JJ. Help them see that the Magic lost to the Trailblazers the other night and it had nothing to do with JJ. Help them see that the bench produced nothing and JJ was not on the court. Help Otis see that Dooling is starting for the Nets and kicking butt and he screwed up not resigning him. That's it for now God but I'm sure I'll be asking for more help for these Magic fans as they find more things to blame on JJ.

Everyone compares him to stucky but most of the time when stucky played last year besides the playoffs he wasn't the main ballhandler with prince or billups at times. Stan needs to look at our divison and play our young guns bc nobody can compete with us in the southwest.

     

    Tell that to the currently undefeated Atlanta Hawks... that we lost our opening game against.

     

    The Hawks are going to put up a fight for the division crown this year.

    I guess you haven't hear of Rudy Fernandez, Ramon Sessions, and Marc Gasol.

     

    No, I just don't think any of them will ever be all-stars. Hell, none of them are even in the top 3 players on their own teams. And since this board is entirely too predictable:

     

    Memphis: Gay, Mayo, Conley

    Milwaukee: Jefferson, Redd, Bogut

    Portland: Roy, Aldridge, Oden

     

    Memphis: Gay, Mayo, Gasol

    Milwaukee: Jefferson, Redd, Bogut

    Portland: Roy, Aldridge, Fernandez

     

    Conley isn't even the best PG on the Grizz, and we haven't seen Oden play a full game since college.

    Not sure if I like that deal, just spit-balling.

     

    The Raptors are looking for an upgrade over Jamario Moon. Bargnani isn't getting much blow. But that team certainy doesn't need 3pt shooters.

     

    The Raptors are going after Gerald Wallace.

    There only two week into the season, so it a bit too early to go by statistical categories, but my point was they already have Mo Williams, Boobie, and West.
