Arenas Trade in Talks with Magic?

Steve Kyler:

 

Welcome in everyone... hope the holidays were good to you... only 85 more shopping days until the NBA Trade Deadline, so lets get after it...

 

No... zero interest from the Magic in trades at all... we talked to Otis Smith last week about trading Vince Carter and the need to make change to compete and he just doesn't sound concerned.. when you are the best team in the East (tied with Boston) - you really don't need to make changes.

 

Look at how change impacted this magic team last year... look at how Miami is adjusting... not worth the risk. Now if someone gets hurt, like season ending injury hurt, that may change, but Orlando likes who they are right now.

 

 

Lock the thread boys.

This is a stupid trade:

 

The salaries dont match up. a 3rd team would have to be involved because if u did Lewis Orton and Carter to the Wizards for Arenas and Blatche...that is 8 million dollars the wizards would have to cut in salary. It doesnt work out. Why the hell would Wizards take Lewis' contract.

 

Maybe this:

You mean Otis likes this team?

Well I guess we can set up the welcome party for Arenas now. He should be flying in to Orlando on Thursday.

just not buying this one.

We gave up 2 clutch time performers and get one newbie and another cancer. What a deal. Also we gave up one expiring contract for another huge one which nobody else wants in the entire league.

The only reason my ears are perked a bit is because OPP doesn't have the reputation of just throwing crap against the wall and seeing if it sticks. They're no Sentinel.

They get rid of Arenas.

 

I see the difference in the trade machine 23 for the Magic 38 for the Wizards. And Carter 2 years.

What if Blatche gets flipped to Denver for Melo amirite. Promising young big, throw in Gortat a few 1st's....

[Soul Bro 1,422]

Arenas? No.

 

Blatche? Hell yes.

 

This is the kind of lockdown pick and roll defense we need, that only Blatche can provide:

LOL!!!!!

[Jareth Cutestory 678]

Atleast we got some gossip to wet our whistles with amirite ladies?

[Soul Bro 1,422]

I completely believe this is Otis using the media as a poker play. My guess is he's using this to try to create leverage for another deal. Insiders, go to work!
