    GAMETHREAD: TORONTO RAPTORS VS ORLANDO MAGIC

    Why will NO do it? They have no need nor they want anything to do with Frye and his contract. They will probably request a player like fournier in addition if they are taking Frye's contract. Is it worth it for Orlando? Not sure but it is just going to be a rental for sure.

    Denver will jump on it. He is too soft. Harris is a better overall player with no injuries concern. Gallinari knees are no good to last a full season. Team chemistry will also be affected. Harris is a great teamate and will have better value in 2 years if a trade is later needed. Now, if you add their 1st round this year then i will consider it.

    Someone didnt have their coffee This morning. I do think that we have a better team now than in 2009 other than DH. You put DH on this team and give me the east teams of 2009 and i can tell you that we have a chance to go deep again. Not necessrily the finals but to the conference semifinals. The problem here is that you like a lot of people here undervalue our players. Hedo, rashad and courtney were great players for us but it was because DH maked them better. Look what happened when they left our team. You can make the same assumption with jameer. His game regressed once DH left. Perhaps that is how important DH was for our team. That is the main reason you have to hate the guy. He not only affected us as fans but his teamtes as well. This is my opinion and I just explained you why i feel this way. So please dont come here thinking that you know more than anyone else when in reality we know nothing. Nothing personal.

    Rondo is better than payton. Although Rondo is also a headcase. Other than that: Harris is equal to Rudy Gay but younger and more potential Dipo is better than cassipi Fournier is better than Mclemore Frye better than koufus CJ equal to Collison. Our bench way much better than their bench. We have a much better all around tram than the 2009 squad and if DH took us to the final inagine what a guy like Cousin can do. The problem is that you will have to give most of our best players in order to get him making a trade with sacramento irrelevant. We will end up with similar or less talented team with what they currently have in sacramento. No way will be able to make the playoff or past the first round. Besides, I dont see Hennigan trading away 2 or more of our core young players for just one player. I rather take our chances with what we have and go for another option at free agency.

    I agree, however i dont think we have much of a chance. Im sure modt of the teams are also interested in him. I see him staying in LA or signing with an LA team once his contract is due. So to buy high for a few years of rent can be dangerous. I will still go for it and figure it out later but the chances of getting him are extremely low. We might have a better chance of getting D12 at free agency. Dwight is still 30 and eventhough I hate him at the moment, it will be easier to get him and keeping some of our core players.

    I have to admit. I was wrong about Cousin. He is a monster. I am not sure if he will be available at all but I dont think we have anything that the Kings will be interested for Cousins. The Celtics have a better package to offer with all those 1st round picks.

    https://vine.co/v/e3pAuVLUpiI He is not a great defender but excellent in effort. He will give you 100% every night. This is something that is contagious and we lack. Even Skiles has said that all he ask for the players is to play with effort. Faried is the exact PF version of DIpo at SG. Imagine how fast the transition in defense will be with a core of Elf Dipo Gordon Faried Vuc. Team defense will be overall better. 2nd shot chances will be reduced as we improve rebounding and defense possesions will be less. Transition offense will be interesting to see and crowd pleasing for sure.

    That, i will love. Trading Harris for Faried will be ideal and likely more viable. This will make us much better defenders.

    Vuc is and has been playing at a high level this past two seasons. He is an alletar caliber center. He is still young and on a very good contract. I think people here under value him a lot. I might be alone here but i rather have him than Cousin. Cousin is a head case and is not a true center. He likes to shoot a lot and likes the 3's. He rarely follows coach plays and wants to play one on one a lot. He will be great next to Vuc but not good as his replacement. Even at the USA team there was some issues with him I believe. Not sure if it was defense or learning the plays. I think they played more Faried over him. I will trade Harris, fournier, napier and picks for him but no Vuc.

    A couple a weeks ago people were praising him as the more consistent player on our team. This was my point. I think the most consistent player for me is still VUC. Harris is a good player and I like him but i will place him under VUC, ELF and Dipo. I will be interesting to see what role he will play once ELF and DIPO contracts are up for renewal. This two will likely be asking for a very similar contract and it is going to be impossible to retain this 3 players next year. He is one of those guy you hate to see go due to his likeable personality and actions in and off the court but I think Hezonja and Gordon will make him expandable. Depending on our position coming playoff time. I will not be surprise if he gets traded either this or next year. I think our core for the future has been and still is VUC, DIPO and ELF with Gordon and Hezonja as our role players. The others likely will not and we can continue working our way up around that.

    GOOD!. Oladipo has been and continues to be my favorite player on this team. I read about this trade proposal at another site and the comments were upseting. I couldnt discuss further as I am not a member there and refuse to open a new account. Believe it or not most of the NBA ( not magic fans) will do it. The sixer fans howerver, believe that we need to "sweet the deal'. typical sixer fan reaction. They value Oladipo at around 11 -15 pick. My take is that Oladipo still is a top 5 pick. But this is how most of the fans value our players. We are not getting most exposure and of course, some of them don't see the defensive value that players like Oladipo and Payton have. I am up for maybe a trade of Saric for Evan and Napier. I still think we need a pick tho. I am very hight on Saric. I have see him play over the past few years and his offensive skills are very good. He is not, by any means athletic but not bad of a defender either. I still think we dont need to make any trades at the moment. We might need Fournier during playoff time. He continues to struggle but Im sure he will come along and will start producing again soon. I will not be surprise if Napier is traded once Watson returns back from injury.

    Will you consider Dario Saric and a pick for Victor Oladipo and Napier at this point? Maybe bringing Tyler Harvey back with that open spot.

    GAMETHREAD: ROCKETS @ MAGIC

    I have to disagree. He has been better but not consistant yet. I do see him as our best overall player. The defense has certainly inprove. I think the guy that i have seen so far as the more consistant is EP. This kid has shown so much potential already. He has improved greatly with Skile. So overall i see EP, vuc and then Harris as the most consistant players so far. Vic has been off lately but rest assure he will come back.

    I understand your points and will even agree with some. However, I have to agree with skywise here. People here likes to discuss potential trades based on reactions to either certain play or game. As you can see, we are once again talking about trades on a game thread. we are in no position to beat cleveland yet. Our goal is to make the playoff and so far we are acomplishing such goal. We are, what? 2 games of the 3rd position in the eastern conference standing? I dont see any trades happening YET. Lets keep the trade talks going but at the appropiate threat. In regards of Hezonja, he will develop to be a very good shooting guard in this league. He reminds me more of a Ray allen type of player than korver. He will be good. Rest asure. He just need some more time to develop. i remember when JJ was drafted. It took him 4-5 years to get where he is at. Lets be patient.

    Now.. This is what im talking about!! Great post! We need Fournier this year. He will walk and get payed but we will likely get someone remotely similar for half of he was asking. We need to take advantage of him this year and if playoff time, we Are bot in contention, then you pull a JJ like move with the Bulls for Porter. The Bulls can surely use him playoff time.

    I just dont see miami doing it. He will be second to wade and bosh. Miami will be a fool if the trade whiteside who jn my opinion is currently better that Dwight. Now, i will not mind taking a look at Dwight here. He can be very good defensively and surely will bring some attention to free agents this year. I really hate the guy but it will bring us some wins for sure. Now, we might have to give away Vucevic, fournier and Frye. I did hesitate to to post this as I hate the guy but will surely be something to look at either free agency or a trade.

    Thanks! I didnt get to see most of the 2 nd half of the game. How was Hezonja defense?
  23. magicdoc1

    The Official 2015-2016 Regular Season Thread

    I have to respectfully disagree with you. Yes, he has not played well over the past few games and yes, he has been inconsistent with his shooting. But his defense has been surprisingly good. I agree with some here that he might not be available to resign with us next year but he can be a great influence on Hezonja this year. They both share similar playing abilities minus the defense. Harris is not playing his best either and Oladipo Continues to be inconsistant as well. Yet, we are playing well as a team. We are winning and you dont want to disrupt current team chemistry. I am not opposed on a trade for fournier. I am opposed in trading him for a rookie or just potential unproven players. We need proven players in return and i am sure management wants the same at the moment. I do like what i am seeing from Hezonja. The potential is there but he need at least a few more years. Just like JJ redick when he was drafted. We need to be patient with him but i dont see him playing our expectation anytime soon. Hence we need someone like Fournier off the bench this year coming playoff time.

    Ok, so let me understand this. We just had our best and more impressive road win of the season. This after a devastating loss at home to the Cavaliers and All are we discussing is how to improve the team with trades? 1. AN is NOT and will never be anything remotely close to Tim Duncan. I am very pleasantly surprise with his work ethics and maturity this year. He can be a 12/7 consistant guy of the bench. 2. Porter is no better than a combination of Gordon and AN. Giving away picks for an unproven rookie will not make this team better at the moment. It is not a good idea to give away Fournier like that when he has proven to be a very good and reliable player which can help immensely during playoff time. He reminds me a little of Hedo. Time will tell. He is still very young though. 3. This is the best team we have had in years. We are better than half of the NBA teams at the moment. We can make the playoff this year and with the current core of players. That has been our goal all year so Please, enjoy the ride. I am very happy so far. The only player i see us trading coming playoff time.. and if, and only if, we do not make the playoff is channing frye and shabazz.
