TheRevTy mentioned that the Hawks are tired of Josh Smith and want to move Horford to the 4. Perhaps he could be an option? Gortat and MP for Josh Smith? Imagine the weakside D!

J Smooth in the Magic Blue. I'm all for this, I don't know about trading Gortat for him though. We'd need to pick up a backup C/PF from the FA pool.

I can deny Beasley's "talent."

 

He's a jumpshooter with an erratic shot. When he's motivated to take it to the basket he's good, but he never is interested in that. Furthermore he's a loose cannon and a headcase.

 

I don't want the Magic to consider him unless he's a throw in guy in a trade for Wade.

I know but he has amazing raw talent and can shoot. If SVG can get Turk to play D, he can get anyone to play D.

 

SVG never got Turk to play D.

gortat for smith straight up doesn't work. you would need to add another player, probably pietrus to the deal to make the salaries match.

Yeah, I didn't like Magicians idea of Gortat and MP for Smith. And M4G1C, you should be official trade attempt consigliere..you are in my book

I just got Rick Roll'd.

[sharp/7/shooter 23]

Our boy at #20? What?

[SolidSn/\ke007 61]

Looking forward to the draft and what we could get

 

Eric Bledsoe:PG/SG 6"1 192 lbs

 

 

Willie Warren:PG/SG 6"4 208 lbs

 

 

Terrico White:PG/SG 6"5 203

 

 

Armon Johnson:PG/SG 6"3 190

 

[deadman54 7]

i think with 1 of our draft picks we should look to get a 3rd string point guard and asses whom we have as our back up im more than happy for j will to return but to have both him and aj would be dumb.

So what about Salmons?

 

Here is an excerpt from a discussion around the trade deadline about the Magic possibly acquiring Tyrus & Salmons from the Bulls (who they ultimately gave away).

He was much better last year.

 

Sarcasm?

 

He played a much larger role on that team with Deng out and Rose not being relied upon as much to dominate the ball.

 

Salmon's is not being asked to create this year which is leading to more spotup opportunities, which is not his forte. He still plays superb defense and handles the ball well.

 

His main problem statistically is that he is now that teams 3rd/4th/5th scoring option this year, where as last year he was their 2nd or 3rd option consistently.

 

Then Salmons goes to the Bucks where he is their #1-#3 scoring option and averages 19.9ppg, 3.2rpg, 3.3apg, on 47% shooting and 39% from three.
