Trey Time 186 Report post Posted July 8, 2012 If this is a money move; is he really going to give up the bird's-rights max? He's going to make that money up in other areas. He will make more money as Net than he would as a Magic when you add up everything, not just the NBA contracts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miller4Prez66 545 Report post Posted July 9, 2012 So Brand's available. Could we sign him cheap? Would be a role-player. Was he injured or is there something toxic about his contract? I don't think this team will be interested in outside FAs, and Brand will pobably ring chase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Better DJ & Photographer 461 Report post Posted July 9, 2012 We were a championship contender not too long ago...now a 10 year rebuild (dont say it wont be). Unless the next Lebron shows up here it will be one looong ugly haul. It is a bad thing back in the basement. Unfortunately I dont like our team being the Cavs which is what it will be except they are now 2 years ahead of us. The 1st pick of the 2017 draft probably isn't even in high school yet... the next LBJ could be sooner than a lot of us think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O Town Terror 11 Report post Posted July 9, 2012 Ayon is awesome. You people don't watch hoops outside or ORL. Hennigan is the MAN. He can help with our latin community Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanA_TBDP 12 Report post Posted July 9, 2012 He's going to make that money up in other areas. He will make more money as Net than he would as a Magic when you add up everything, not just the NBA contracts. He can't go to the Nets next year. They don't have room. Would love for someone to calculate the basic math of how much money Dwight would earn in the first 4 years of his contract here compared to 4 years in Brooklyn. Throw in income taxes. I'd just like to see how much more he'd need to make in endorsements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MakDaRealist 15 Report post Posted July 9, 2012 There would have to be. No way you can send out a guy for $8 million (maybe plus), take back a guy who makes $1.5 million and not get a trade exception. It's built in the NBA rules. But what are you going to do with a $6.5 million trade exception? It's not like that brings you a top level talent, and you can't trade it with anything. Besides, the Magic almost never use them. And right now, the only thing they seem intent on is cutting payroll, not adding to it. Does a TPE have to come if say NO is under the cap? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only thing that stops it from happening is if Stern starts babbling about "basketball reasons", but he only does that when trades are good for both sides.

Penny Hardaway's Ghost 260 Report post Posted July 9, 2012 I don't know if this stuff is going to happen but my God why do I feel like we'll end up with Luke Walton if this purported 3-way is to take place? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trey Time 186 Report post Posted July 9, 2012 So we have one guy now saying the Nets deal won't happen. That would be great if, yanno, there wasn't 100 guys saying it will happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
