The reason is we get Charlie V and a top 5 pick in this years draft. I have 2 huge problems with this plan. First, Milwaukee wouldn't even consider that trade until after the lottery, and wouldn't consider it period if they landed Top 2. And no one outside the top 2 is better than Darko right now. Second, the whole plan falls apart if any single part of it fails. We'd have traded young and healthy for midsize and injury prone, which simply isn't a good idea.

I know everything depends on the bucks trade thats why it was number 1.You would rather have Darko then Charlie Villanueva and a top 5 pick? I think Villanueva is a better player then darko right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sign Darko to an extension and then trade him with Bogans,Garrity and 2 second round picks to Milwaukee for Charlie Villanueva,Bobby Simmons and this years 1st round pick. 2.)Trade Dooling and Arroyo to Memphis for Stoudamire and Swift. 3. Sign Bonzi Wells or Flip Murry 4. Sign Steve Blake 5. Re-Sign Grant Hill so 2008 roster PG Nelson/Blake/Stoudamire SG Wells-Murry/Redick/Simmons SF Hill/Ariza/Turk PF Villanueva/Swift/Augustine C Howard/Battie I know we are taking on a bad contract with Simmons but if it gets us a high draft pick it's worth it. Villanueva is a big low post scorer who rebounds well.Swift is a shot blocker who can help Dwight block shots in the paint.Stoudamire is an old vet and can be a solid backup point guard but he has the plenty of experience and can start if needed. Wells is a risk but if he plays at a high level he will be the scorer we need.Steve Blake is a pass first point guard and if Nelson does not get his act together Blake can be our PG of the future. The best part of all is that we have a top 5 pick! GO MAGIC! Then in 3 years we will have a ton of cap room with Simmons,Battie and Turk all coming off the books. Thats the year when Wade and James are Free Agents. Ok let me let me get this straight. You want to bring in another 5'10 PG, three players that no one else wants and a couple of them are major head cases and one really bad contract. The good parts a Charlie Villanueva and Steve Blake and a top 5 pick. Then in 3 years we can make a move for Lebron of D Wade. Why do you want to put us in three more years of mediocrity for the possibility that we might get a pick that ends up a good player and we maybe able to get Lebron or Wade and thats a big maybe.

Waiting For That Day 49 Report post Posted April 25, 2007 I would stop being a Magic fan if we trade our best players like Darko. All we need is a new Coaching staff and a PG. Only player I would get rid of is the Jammer, Pat Garrity but nobody is gonna want him because of his salary issue. You guys forget this team is built for the future...

Wow, that could explain why they match up so well in the game. I hope this is not the situation with the Jameer-Howard combo. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
