Not this year. i agree. But dont you think they will have to consider either letting Klay or Green go next year? ( if Durant signs) There is no way I see those 4 still wearing the same uniform in 2019. They cant sign those 4 to a max deal and still have enough money to sign role players.

I dont think that will ever happen but if there is any truth on the disgruntled relationship between Green and Durant then you have really no choice. Durant is going to be a free agent and he will leave if this escalte more. He did it once, he can do it again. Also, im not sure if they will have to sign Curry(also a free agent) and Durant to max money this summer. I dont think they can afford to sign 4 max contracts in the next couple of years which make my proposal trade for Ibaka even less likely now that I think about it. Looking at the whole picture(if Durant stays), I see Klay as the one likely been traded instead. He will be a free agent in 2018 and if you already have Curry and Durant maxed and Green at 17-18 mill a year there might not be enough money left to max him as well as Green salary will end in 2019 and you will have to max him as well. One of those two players will be traded next year if Durant resigns.

This might sound crazy but what about a trade with golden state? Green and Durant has been having issues in the court lately. Might be nothing but what if it is? Durant is a free agent and can easely leave GS once a championship is achieved there. What if he agrees to stay as long as Green leaves? Maybe a trade for Green can work here if that is the case. Ibaka, mario for Green . There is 1% chance that could ever happen but will be good to have green here.

I need a pick from Toronto with that. I lot of people are very high on Powell but we really have not seen much of him. He is playing in a team that runs and have an above average PG. I'm not sure how his defensive skills are. His game not necessarily will transition to our team.

Maybe. I agree on not taking Crappy's Contract but We are looking for picks and young talent. This is one possible trade scenario. It has to involve more than one pick though. Remember this is coming from PING. He has no, absolutely no connection with the organization. He make things up.

if that pick is what we need to make the Butler trade possible thenI will be ok with that.

The kid is really a freaking athlete. But I stil thing Gordon can beat him. Will be between those two for sure.

I didnt hear about this lunch taking place. I am still not sureif did ever happened. I know that Henny do get together with some Season ticket holders occassionally but will not discuss specifics in regards of trade work, other eams, players from other teams etc.. Specially if he is still working on those moves. This does not sound likr is really coming from him. It is hard to believe but you never know.

I respect the OP opinion but I am not in support of his action. Giving his back on the team due to the owners political preferences is irresponsible. Most, if not all, the players are againts the current administration. Some of the player are not even american citizens. We should be proud and grateful that we have a local major sport in town and we need to continue supporting the team in order to keep it in town for years to come. The Devous family has been good to our town eventhough they dont even live here. Lets put politics aside and left support each other here. We all want our country to do well and we want our beloved magic to do well as well. I love the city and I love this team. I might not be in favor or happy with some of the things currently happening with the new administration but as a good american citizen I will support my country 100% . People that knows me call me the confused republican. Why? because I dont like Trump as a person and dont suppor some of his ideologist. Also because I consider Obama to be one of the smartest president we ever had as well as a great family guy and overall human being. I respect everyone and to does people who serve this country you will see me extending my arm proudly for a handshake. If a ever see Trump, Obama, Clinton, Sanders, Rubio, Bush etc... you will see me shaking their hands and thank them for their service to this country. As for the Magic, Please keep enjoying what brought you happiness in the past and get pass this this thing that we call politics. I invite you to rethink your position cause I will love to continue talking with you about our beloved Magics. Go MAGIC and Go Orlando.

I wll do that in a heartbeat. Nurkic could be useful once Vuch is traded. In fact, that is the best down to earth trade I have seen in awhile. Not perfect for us but real. Denver is playing for a playoff spot and Ibaka can be very helpful for them.

I saw that. I really dont like either and we dont need neither. If they are willing to take Biyombo then we should listen.

As you might know I am very high on Bledsoe so I ,by no mean , selling low on Vuch. I still think Bledsoe coukd be good despite his past injuries. He has been playing great this year.(21.8 PPG, 5 rpg, 6 apg) Bender and Chriss are two great young players which could shine next to Gordon. They are both 19 by the way.

Agree. I think I am only one of the few here that like Bledsoe and even myself will oppose to this trade. i will be ok to trade Vuch, Payton and mario for Bledsoe, Bender and Chriss and whatever other player they want to throw to make the trade work.

Im not saying that is even remotely something to consider ir even happening. It was more of a rethorical question. There are players out ther that are as valuable as Gordon. Every team has one or two. I am sure that Henny is getting calls for Gordon on a daily basis. I cant honestly say with certainty that will be seeing Gordon wearing a Magic uniform next year.I really hope we keep him.

Playoff

Post twice

Will you trade AG for Turner?. Straight. No other players or pick involves. Im sure if an offer like this presents, you might have to think it further. Henny is probably getting plenty of offers for Gordon.

Larry Bird is in the house! One of two things: He was either traded to the magic( for henny)or Which it will make more sense, scouting one of our player(vuch)

He thinks he still coaching the Pacers. Can someone go a tell him?!

I dont think we have many options. It is most likely to reshape. I will not be surprise if I see Ibaka traded in a combination with a bad salary ( fournier, Biyombo) for just expiring players and picks. I only see us improving during the free agency period. Maybe we need to reset and try again this offseason we new blood. Instead of going with defense we might need to go more for offensive minded players instead. Not sure about the options this summer.

I will not mind if we trade for an injured player. One good example is khris middleton. I will trade Ibaka for him and their first. He will not need to play this year.( helps with the tank) and will be great to have for next year. He will be a decent SF for us to have. Im not sure if Milwaukee even consider this as they have Parker at PF. Maybe they will entertain vuch or even Fournier instead. They do want to make the playoff this year and they are only one game behind the 8th.

Turner is considered to be one of the worst current contract in the league. I refuse to have 2 of the top 5 worse contracts next year.

Not happy at all. I think we need to trade him sooner than later and I think he wants that as well. He is not giving us anything at the moment other than likely affecting his trade value like you said.

Please. Stop the hate. He has been playing with less effort as he doesnt want to risk it. Like others has said here. He injured the labrum in the shoulder. Same injury DH had several years ago which needed no surgery. This can make the shoulder a little more unstable and makes it more succeptible for another jnjury and, god forbid, dislocate it. If that ever happens then surgery is necessary(Noah, MCW, jammer, kevin Love). He clearly doesnt want to end his contract year in that note. Again, he is playing it safe. Nothing to gain, lot to loose.

He reminds me a lot of what Crabbe did in Portland during his contract year. He is a decent role player who will ended up been overpaid.
