magicLA 57 Report post Posted February 19, 2011 Billups / Fields / Melo / Stoudamire / Mozgov Back up PF - A Randolph would probably have to be used to get the draft pick desired by Denver + Knicks would still be about $4-6 M short depending on $ value of pick so they probably have to throw in at least Azabuike's expiring also to make it work ...thats 2 stars and a very solid playoff experienced point guard - this season they'd be real thin with any injury essentially taking them out - but that's a pretty good short rotation with some solid defensive type role players sprinkled in - could be a dangerous team in the early rounds... ...here's hoping Denver trades him to NJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMP 424 Report post Posted February 19, 2011 Randolph is most likely going to Minny for that 1st round pick 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skywise316 211 Report post Posted February 19, 2011 Maybe NY's throwing Felton in because they're sure they can get CP3? *shrugs* All I know is February 24th can't get here soon enough... anything to hold Melo's freggin' feet to the fire and make him make a decision already.

My 6th Rebuild 6 Report post Posted February 19, 2011 I would trust Billups More than Felton. Billups has said wherever he goes he wants a buyout so I wonder if he is going to want out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he went to Knicks, I doubt he would want a buyout. Probably just saying that to try and prevent himself being traded away from his home City. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KillingInTheNameOf 63 Report post Posted February 19, 2011 Are we true championship contenders??? What deal(s) might put us over the top??? More relevant ? Do Magic even want to catch Chicago for 3rd? Miami appears destined to pass Boston for top seed in East, it would take a minor miracle for NY to make up 5.5 games over 25 vs. ATL. So, would Magic prefer path of Atlanta & Miami to ECF or NY/Melo & Boston? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if we face Miami/ Atlanta, we're gonna have to face Boston eventually. If we make it to the ECF's, they'll be waiting for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I know, but I'd be hoping someone else took them out. And theres more chance in two rounds than one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterfly 3 Report post Posted February 19, 2011 Chicago is the only real threat to Miami or Boston imo. I think Chicago will be the big suprise this year. Bostons are just too old to run in a 7 game series with the Bulls. The bulls have the adventage of having the former boston defensive coach on their team, and the other night the Bulls handled the Spurs with ease. Rose can contain Rondo, and the Bulls are playing great even without Noah. It does not look like Smith is going to be able to trade for a big, and even if Murphy is bought out, I see him signing with the Heat instead of the Magic. They were just too many bad signings this year -ie, Q. Richardson, Allen, and Duhon. I don't see how the Magic can have a serious run in the playoffs without another defensive big. I don't think Atlanta is even a guarantee, and I really don't think we would sweep them this year. Joe Johson and Josh Smith are playing at a high level, and Drew made adjustments with Horford and Collins, so Dwight will not be a problem this year for them.. Philly is playing better now, and this series would be difficult to play. Alot depends on what happens after the all star break, and how well the Magic play. I think the Oklahoma City game will be the indicator on how the Magic will do this season. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
