Would you like me to post what I said to you on November 23rd(somewhere around there)? Hell, SVG called us a jump shooting team. What's the problem...outside you are unable to handle the fact that I was right? Troll my behind.....its funny the only people that are calling me a "troll" are the ones that disagreed with my assessment of the team. Hardly. troll is about attitude and intent, not whether you were correct or not. Feel free to take your opinions elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WestCoastMagicFan 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2010 Let's be Real, We will never win a championship if we don't bring in another rebounder for this team. Shard needs to play at the 3 where he belongs because he's not physical enough to bang with "TRUE" power forwards. He's a liability on defense and stays on the 3 point line where he's not able to help with rebounding like a true power forward suppose to do. I'm not saying this is Rashard's fault because that's the way our team is built to play and win games. Our team philosophy is cool but it's not a way to build a championship caliber team because we're one dimensional and we don't have a chance when we're not hitting our 3's. Teams will play us the same way defensively every postseason by playing zone and stay with our players at the 3-point line while leaving Dwight as the only player on our team to rebound the ball on every missed shot. We need a PF would has a decent post game who can knock down the 10-15 ft jumper and can also help with rebounding because we're garbage in that area when we aren't making our shots. Having your power forward stand around the 3 point line 90% of the time isn't going to win you basketball games in the playoffs. Even if we beat Boston we would still get outmatched against the Lakers in the Finals. The Lakers have three 7 footers that can give you double digit rebounding at any time and cause us problems on defense. Players we look at acquiring this offseason: PF David Lee PF Carlos Boozer PF Amare Stoudamire Players we need to get rid of: PF Brandon Bass PG Jason Williams C Adonal Foyle PG Anthony Johnson 2010-2011 Roster Starters: PG: Jameer Nelson SG: Vince Carter SF: Rashard Lewis PF: Carlos Boozer/David Lee/Amare Stoudamire C: Dwight Howard Bench: SF: Matt Barnes SG: Mickael Pietrus SG: J.J. Redick C: Marcin Gortat PF: Ryan Anderson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KandiKane 136 Report post Posted May 24, 2010 quote: Originally posted by MagicDude20:I say the Magic should go after CJ Watson or another up tempo PG that can make exciting plays with a consistent jumper. Also sign a center like Theo Ratliff or a center that can bang down low or is experienced in the playoffs. Keep JJ and Bass, we will need them down the road. What do u think we will do on draft night? Gortat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KandiKane 136 Report post Posted May 24, 2010 You would have to assume that these players stay here: Howard Lewis (no-one would take on his contract) Carter (no-one would take on his contract, and im sure we wouldn't take on the contract they would offer in return) Nelson (will be kept together with howard) I hope Redick is resigned and allowed the chance to be back up SG and PG. I think Gortat will be kept, unless something good in trade comes up. Anderson contract is too attractive to give up, unless packaged in a trade for a big name. Bass, I do not think many teams would be interested in him at 4mil a year, Only because Van Gundy stopped playing him. Pietrus will be around (contract is to much for other teams to want) Barnes hopefully will resign for a small figure. Good bye jwilly, foyle and No-neck. Hopefully Gundy is give walking orders and a real coach is signed (this is just a wish) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth Evil Dead 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2010 Ok here is another doom and gloom crazy trade idea. Toronto wants to take Turk and his 10 mil a season off there hands. They also want to work out a sign and Trade for Bosh. So here we go. The main part of the trade would be Gortat, Lewis, and Anderson for Bosh and Turk. Now other players will have to be thrown in to make the numbers work. But with this trade Toronto gets rid of Turks 4 years left of a bad contract and trades it for Lewis 2 years left of a bad contract. Toronto also gets a something they never had in a strong hard nose starting center in Gortat. They also get a young and up and coming PF in Anderson who fits into they way they play. Magic get Turk back in hopes that he can get back to his old tricks, while also getting a PF in Bosh that can hit the outside J, play inside, and help Dwight Rebound. Toronto Gortat Bargnani Anderson Lewis Derozen Calderone Orlando Howard Free Agent Dare I say Shaq Bosh Bass Turk Peaches Carter JJ Nelson Draft Pick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
