Orlando Magic Toaster

That would be amazing but why would the Bulls trade Butler?

At least Payton is starting to play well now and showing consistency

I agree, he could have easily just sent a text to say what was up. I think Rose would be a great addition to Orlando, he's a quality PG that can also shoot 3's

That sounds like an excuse a lazy GM would make. There's loads of stories and rumors over the last week of players that could be traded. And no I don't want some crazy Otis type trade.

I think a trade should have been done by now, it's gone too long for this season. We are too far off the 8th seed now and I don't see anything improving. I've changed my mind from unsure to Yes.

I doubt they think it's a fact of course but if Anderson was able to lead a team and possibly work on a step back jumper things could be different. Looking at 2015 when both players had a full year, Ryan Anderson had 2008 minutes & 1124 pts vs Dirk's 2363 minutes & 1372 points. It is quite interesting..

We don't know that though, I think he would have added more value than just 3 pointers which every NBA team wants but you think of him as making us 4 games better, that's the thing. What we do know is Anderson has thrived at NOP scoring 1309 points in his first season after leaving Orlando, now at Houston he is performing well too although I think he is overpaid there. I do think Orlando should have hung onto him as he was a proven NBA player, instead of cheapening the team in the hope that we might just make the playoffs someday in the midst of a **** lottery.

Which didn't work.

I've been saying that for years now, we should never have gotten rid of Anderson, he would be like a younger Nowitzki for Orlando by now.

I hope he doesn't give away Payton for nothing.

I'd be happy with this, I could be on my own though but Rondo could go cheap now.

The next Bynum?

Rajon Rondo anyone? Looks like he's done with the Bulls

Yes, make this happen Rudy Gay would be a great addition

Roll on the playoffs :creaturedance:

It's the best thing about Christmas for me, NBA at a reasonable time.. I'm currently at the in laws watching the Celtics V Knicks and after a bad first quarter for Boston they are hot now. I'm looking forward to the next game though, is anyone else watching?

This is good. Knicks are back in it

Yeah I agree, particularly with the OKC game. I will watch the next two though. I've not seen Rondo & Wade play yet for the Bulls.

Me neither but some might be interested in a thread for it

My current game is probably dreadful. I haven't played since May 2011 when I went up for a layup and got knocked sideways falling on my left arm breaking it in 2 places (wrist & elbow), I also dislocated my elbow and tried getting up using it causing more damage. I always wanted to play PG but dribbling was never good enough unfortunately. The last time I shot a basketball was in NBA city in Orlando in 2013. I do miss it though.

I'm the exacts same, I've only watched one game live where Magic have won this season. The best thing about this win is Payton too. It would be great if he could score or assist more often. I'd be happy if he just had double figure assists more often

Like Otis did? I really hope your wrong but I do think he needs to make a trade to keep his role

I agree, I had faith in Payton but after the last few games I don't.

And playing the Spurs.. Maybe better off with no Gamethread for this one?
