The Dude Abides

Luckily, my old (yet younger) lady hails from Wisconsin. There, I can still obtain the mucho loved Chilli Cheese Buritto, a.k.a The Chilito. In fact, I will be there this weekend, Likely to ship a frozen case back. Last time I filled a cooler with them, but Im not sure about that with the new airline rules. VIVA LA CHILITO!

Vescey oftens get things wrong I'm with you on this one. There all also alot of "may", "my understanding / perception" , "If I understand..." in there... and as others have pointed out this guy likes to talk out of his rear, before he really gets a grasp on the situation. Also, If they had a 5 day "grace period", withstanding the point that an early entry would probally work just fine, wouldnt that grace period swing both ways - not just err on the late side?... If that were the case, Late May (26th) would be within the 5 day window if it is applied early as well as late. Im not buying until I hear it from someone who isn't speculating, guessing, or talkin out their @$$.

After two years of interning under Nash he will be an unrestricted free agent that we could go after. With the two picks I'd chose Morris Almond and Petteri Koponen. Just had another idea. Send Garrity for Marcus Banks to add an incentive for Phoenix. They want to unload Banks and he is a good defender at the point. Tell me, how do you plan on signing these guys before the draft...yes BOTH of them, Grant cant just be sent..he is a FA too. and if you waited till after draft and just went on word that a deal would be made. Salaries are no where close to working out. no can do.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.... but was only allowed to after he asked and got permission from Carlos.

Carlos Arroyo need not even jump to Dunk. The backboard and rim sees the Champion of Love & basketball comin its way, and bows down just by his mere presence.

Carlos Arroyo can win a game of connect four in three moves.

Why stay in Orlando as the fourth option..or really sitting in a suit. I think that if the Magic do actually offer for him and sign him, like Otis has said he'd like to do, It would be with the stipulation that he would see time here - So really I think thats irrelevant - Id package him up, like MrC says though...But then we would need to get another PG somewhere. I think his services will come pretty cheaply compared to what we can get out there... and thats all this team needs..is a poor mans Nash, a role player at PG... Jameer and CA will not both be in Magic Uni's next year... and if that does happen, be ready for another crap season at the point.

Thats the thing we get with Dwight - after he signs the extension ..hes ours..that the future (be it game wise or trade wise to come).. and being so early in his contract - it has more upside business wise than other people we could bring in that would warrant the splash... And thats not to mention the huge upside we have yet to see that comes from D12's game...

I dont want to get back on my seconding kick, but I'll second that. Nice sum-up Rich Like the post. Here, Here!

quote: Originally posted by ST since 90:The site background has changed again, and there is not longer an icon with "Wake Up Time". Now it is the plain magic logo. I thought it was interesting when they put the wake up time background on shortly before firing Brian Hill. Now it is gone. What does this mean? Are they assuming we are awake now? Actually the wake up was in existance when BHill was still here - I had a banner about it the banner as proof and heres a wild guess, nothing more... I wonder if the redesign doesnt have sumthin to do with That "construction zone" on the message board...it was a place to work on files for the site, off the server... If you remember when "That Guy" was hired b4 SVG and the site was down.. they were having trouble pointing the DNS to new servers. Maybe its just a better place to actually work on the files rather than "live" on the servers.. Im goin to put on my tin-foil hat, hide my magic insider 8-ball, and hope that Rock doesnt track me down now... luckily Im posting remotley from Roswell.

Id have to wrap several players coming in to find somthing even worth considering... for the money - the upside - the attitude towards the game.. I cant think of anyone Id rather have here, especially a one for one trade, to build around, grow with the Magic and get to watch for years to come.

quote: Originally posted by Erik:Jameer is more of a shoot first PG because he has no one other than Dhoward ti pass to you bring in J. Rich and Wallace in he will have mor eoptions,and he will average about 3 or 4 more ast pg,and Wallace and J. rich are two unselfish players,who play different styles so they won'y step on eachother's toes. Jameer is a shoot first PG casue hes really a SG. Thats his game - it isnt changing anytime soon, Weve heard it straight from his own mouth before - I cant understand why we think we need 5 superstars (even if only in there own mind) on the court at one time - we need effin Role players...guys who know their job and do it well...like fascillitating others, playing D or is a three threat to spread the floor (more shameless plugs for Dooling and Diener)

Yall are already conceeding the starting job to Jameer... We wouldnt have PG out there lookin for his shot instead of dishing if you made him the backup - that way he could be a scoring option still for the second team. Ive been harpin on this as well. Our starting PG with a situation like this woudlnt be relied on to be a first option... wed have those bases covered with the other starters on the floor. Give the **** job to Dooling or Diener - players looking to make the team better, not there stat line.

quote: Originally posted by Erik:Dude your trippin man! Even If I were, it doesnt mean that it isnt true... View and read the story of "the Demon Bird Moth Balls" for yourself. I guess maybe they are making it up, but its on his wiki page as well..

it's Just more of a reason to try and Pawn Battie off on someone.. 1. Gortat can have his minutes 2) we can save some cash in the proccess.

quote: Originally posted by Marc Acres 3:16:LMAO!! I'm watching it right now and there is like hours of just him shooting free throws at a park! He hasn't missed 1 yet, it's hilarious! thats what you call fillin it up! i was thinkin that rather than a park, that was his home hoop, there seems to be a huge *** mansion in the background... if this is the case....someone has paid him to learn to shoot, thats for sure!

Heres his video on youtube - video of his style not a bad stroke at all!!! here is his website, the link is to his bio and work experience: CR business website looks like hes worked with the Pistons some, also says he works out at RDV...nothing really about him specifically with the Magic

Marion is one of those guys who brings the D and can match up against alot of different guys and positions, He can be shuffled on the offensive end as well.. he has that in between height and is athletic enough to merrit him playing 2 different positions... I remeber goin to a game and sittin right behind the board and he RIPPED us a new one ALL game.... My only knock on the guy is that, in one of those bad tattoo decisions, he went out and got some Japanese lettering tatoo'ed down his leg.. He thought it said "the matrix" but come to find out , he is now emblazoned with "demon bird moth balls" on his leg for life. reminds me of this gem of an office prank, a bit of a read, but a classic chinese tattoo story! great tatoo prank

quote: Originally posted by ibonedteribell: Carlos is still only 24 and has room to improve and adapt Actually he is a month shy of 28.. I bit long in the tooth to start changing and remaking his game now - his cards are on the table, what you see is what you get. To put his age in perspective, people are in discussions around here about Vince being older, hes 30. quote: Originally posted by PR: Hey Dude remember he got change not for his game he have a good year with Utha Like STARTE and Detroit the numbers are there. He got change for the problem he have with Sloan and that is the true that is one think that people think that he was change because his game and that is not the true. I am with you when you say Nelson and Carlos did not have a good years last season. I hear ya, but if you look at these great numbers as a starter in detroit and utah... Utah..about 30 mpg...2 t/o...5 asst...12 points.. in detroit when he got his chance - his minutes were down, but got 4 asst, 2 t/o, and only 9 pnts per game weve already determined that Jameer and CA sucked out loud last year, but in perspective Jameer played about 30 mpg, he got about 4.5 asst per, just over 2 t/o per, and netted 13 ppg. Apples to apples.. Jameers crappy last season, is as good as the "so called great" play CA had in Utah and Detroit when he was in favor of the coach.. It still bears importance that he has pissed off all three of his last coaches, that he is older than Jameer with less upside, makes much more money and his great play of early years just barley compares with Jameers horrible season last year. but conversly, I think the Magic need to go in a different direction all together at the point... and about the english...no problem here, Your english is WAYYYY better than my spanish, and If people cant figure out the meaning of what you are saying, their reasoning and reading comprehension must be crap. Its not hard to figure out what you are saying. English is NOT the national language, never has been, never will be. Its preferd on this forumn, but thats out of our own ignorance of us not knowing spanish. There is NO official language in the US. Its one of those things our founding fathers deemed important, just like our freedom of speech, religion, and assembly.. To say we should ALL HAVE to speak english, well thats just about as an unamerican thing as there is. before English came to the states, we already had 300 languages here and this nation is built on the backs of early immigrants who couldnt speak a lick of "the kings" English.

quote: Originally posted by Catman:Nest time in english PR. That made no sense at all so you basically wasted your time trying to put together a cohesive thought. NEXT time.. make sure you dont look like a complete @$$, before you go around correcting others..

quote: For me that is all Nelson have a bad season we dont need to have another one we him to be starter you say he going to play different we a different system please he did what he want last season BH let him to do what he want please dont tell me that he going to change he going to make the same mistake open your eyes people. The same goes for Carlos as well. We saw how badly he played last year. We know over the past 4-5 years what he has accomplished. Weve seen him fall out of grace under 3 head coaches already. We know his style of game, what it consists of, that its all but peaked and it still brings nothing to the table and surely doesnt warrant a starting role. My eyes have been open, and thats how I can clearly see this. Some others fans around here need to do the same, whether it be for Carlos or JN.Both these guys are not what we need. Truth be told, both these guys can sit as far as I'm concerned..Give it to Dooling or Travis, but please, Lets not have either of these guys costing us repeadtedly like we allowed them to do in the past.

Jack -its most likely not a problem on your end (computer wise that is), Unless you have changed some settings recently...cache full? new firewall? new adblocker? what happens when you right click on them and look at the properties? theres sumthin goin on between your interent browser and the server serving the pics most likely... either the image locations have changed,, your browser it getting sumthin it doesnt expect from the server and borfs out, or it could just be a timeout issue - If you sit long enuff will they pop up?

If you just keep on sweeping the dirt under the carpet, eventually it ends up as a speed bump. Lets move forward. Why should we keep on stalling out, only to prop the hood up, stare at the engine and say oh well...and keep on driving till we stall out again? We dont need two of the same guy - Ill leave yall up to arguing which one should be kept, Its fairly obvious to me when you look at production v. salary (cash & trade value) v. the org's commitment - which one it should be, I've already made my feelings known on this time and time again. I really could care less when the game hits the floor, with all the outside factors taken away. They are both frustratingly incompetent at the starting point.
