    Ersan İlyasova to Magic??????

    You clearly missed the point. Talk about selective reading. He's saying "no one benefits more from playing with Howard than Ryan". That was my point. Are you and Don Ryan's sisters?

    Okay Otis, sorry Don I mean, cna you please enlighten us on the New CBA? I have a life you know so don't know the new CBA by heart. But if you do, please tellvme what other teams can offer Rhyan, and just because we have his Bird Rights doesnt mean we will offer a max contract, otherwise we would have already done that. I know enough to know that if Howard leaves, Ryan is a goner coz Orlando will not sign him on a big contract.

    I take it you'd rather we sign Ryan to a max deal or start Big Baby next year? Which one do u prefer?

    Quote from Orlando Sentinel writer Josh Robbins today "Ryan Anderson has had a breakthrough season for Orlando, and he is the team's top asset besides Howard. But he is not a potential superstar. Indeed, of all the current Magic players, perhaps no one benefits more from Howard's presence than Anderson"

    Houston wants to get rid of Scola, and has money to spend. NJ if they don't get Howard will ship out Mr. Kardashian and probably will try to bring Ryan back. Ryan will demand the same contract David Lee got in GS. 60m/5 = 12m p.a. which is what many teams can and might offer. I don't think we have the cap space to do that. Ersan, given his lower avg's will probably demand 35-40m which is a lot more affordable for Orlando, plus allows us to go after a FA in 2012 or 2012, should Howard stay. If Howard leaves, then we might even sign 2 good players. Ryan's contract would not allow us to do that and we will probably get 1 good FA and we're back to square 1 again where we have 1 all-star and nothing else around him. To win, you need 2 top players at least. Ryan is not that player, and neither is Ersan, but they both give you the same (although I still argue Ersan is much better defensively) with Ersan probably demanding less money.

    Thank You. What people don't understand is that sometimes, a team like Orlando has to take a chance on a guy like Ersan the same way we did with Hedo, who helped us go to the finals. Ryan is going to demand big money and will most probably leave, because there are some stupid GM's who will pay big dollar for him and trust me, Orlando will not match a 60-70m contract for Ryan. So unless you want Big Baby to start next year, we can either trade Ryan now along with one of our big contracts (Jrich, Duhon, Turk) and try to get Ersan and Jackson now. As an alternative, I was trying to say that should Ryan demand too much, we should let him go and sign Ersan instead. Now the latter means that we would have lost an opportunity to get something in return for Ryan or at least get rid of one of our bad contracts to help give us flexibility next year and mauybe sign a free agent to appease Howard (Nash for e.g.). I mean Orlando needs to decide if they are willing to pay Rhyno top dollar. If they don't, better to trade him now. I know Ersan is a FA, but he will cost less and getting him now might allow us to get rid of a bad contract. I don't even want to comment about DON, I think many of you have said what needed to be said. I hope he changes his tone because sometimes, he makes a good point but how he makes it defeats the point. You have good basketball knowledge, but none of us are GM;s here. We are just thinking out loud. I mean the top basketball people in Orlando are proof that even they make some big mistakes (dont get me started on our draft picks and Arenas etc.).

    It's ok to have your opinion, but respecting other people's views and opinions without being rude is a skill you clearly do not possess.

    dude, why you're so angry. I appreciate your opinion and all, but you make your points in such a mean way, trying to make ppl look stupid. If i was suggesting trading Kwame Brown for Anderson, I might accept some of your comments but you're making it sound like Ersan is sooooo much worse. Anyways, who cares, it's not like we're decision-makers here, so maybe you just need to chill a bit. This is just fun talk about some possible options should Anderson ask for too much.

    Thank you, for a minute there, I thought the Magic Fans really didn't know much about basketball, but guess some of you know a good player when they see one.

    Ersan İlyasova to Magic??????

    lets agree to disagree. In 5 years time, Ryan will be shooting 3's in Sacramento, while Ersan will probably be playing for the Lakers or Bulls winning chamionships.

    No I am from Arizona actually, but a Magic Fan since the good old days of D3, Nick and Penny. Didnt want to mention Shaq coz he's such a jerk.

    I think playing with Howard gets u moe Offensive Rebounds because usually the opposing PF tries to help their center block out Dwight which gives Ryan the OR opportunities he gets every game. Look guys, I am not saying Ryan is crap, i love the guy. I just think we probably would pull off a steal if we can offload him for Ersan along with a good player and manage to get rid of one of our bad contracts, because they are very similar offensively, although Ersan is slightly better overall I think and defensively, Ryan gets killed by avg PF's such as Josh Smith and Boozer which I think Ersan would defend a lot better. PF defence has been our achilies for a while and we've always had to trade-pff between putting on Ryan who is better than Baby offensively, or Baby who is better defensively but much worse offensively. Ersan I think has a better overall game and therefore is a better 2 for 1 option.

    Ryan shoots 12 shots per game, Ersan only 9. So his average is lower, although in the last few games, his avg is close to 20 ppg. Ersan doesnt have Dwight, so he doesnt get open looks from 3 point range. His current center is Drew Gooden, who even if guarded by Muggsy Bogues would probably still miss a 15 footer. Plus Ersan has more rebounds, blocks, steals and assists than Ryan despite playing 4 less minutes a game. I think because he plays for the Bucks, his value is lower and Ryan's value is higher because Orlando has the 3rd best record in the East at the moment. This presents an opportunity I think to get him on the cheap. Remember the contratc we gave Turk when we took him from the Spurs. But should they both deamand the same top dollar money, I would go for Ersan, that's what I am trying to say. I am just convinced that this guy would be much better for Orlando than Ryan is at the moment, giving his hustle and energy. Plus the dude shoots lights out and killed us when we played the Bucks in the last 3 games. I remeber him going up against 4 Orlando players (Dwight, Baby, Turk and J Rich) for am offensive rebound and wrestled the ball off all these 4 players and scored.

    Ryan is a great player but he will demand top dollar this off-season, just watch. Plus Ersan shoots the 3 and has a good mid-range jumper, something Anderson doesnt have. Anderson is 2 dimensional, i.e. either shoots the 3 or lay-ups after Offensive Rebounds. Ersan is a better defender and can shoot the 3, is a better offensive rebounder and rebounder in general, shoots the mid-range jumper extremely well plus will cost a lot less to sign. I would love to trade Baby for Ersan but realistically, what can we really get in return for Baby? The Bucks won't give Ersan up for him.
  15. Friends and Fellow Fans Like e, I am sure you have all been seeing the emergence of this kid Ersan İlyasova of the Bucks. I have never seen someone play with so much energy on defence and pull down Offensive Rebounds like him. He's the reason why the bucks are still semi-relevant and able to take teams down the line, albeit they still seem to lose more than they win thanks to Jennings' selfish play on offence. I really love this kid and he becomes a free agent at the end of this season. Heis shooting 40% from 3 point range this season, pull down more rebounds than Anderson and plays with a lot more energy. He is unrestricted while Anderson is restricted. I think we could pull off a trade with the Bucks whereby we send Anderson/J Rich for Ersan and Jackson to allow Redick to start. Alternatively, I hope we go for him in the offseason in case Anderson starts demanding All-Star Money to stay. I really have hope that we can still build a good team even if Howard leaves, as long as we get some good young pieces and a few picks as well. Am I the only one rooting for NJ to lose so in the off chance that Howard goes there, we have a better chance at getting Anthony Davis in the draft? That would be wicked as we would probably have the best young team in the NBA, especially if we can get a good young PG in the offseason as well. Please let me have your thoughts
