First Move For Rob Hennigan?

[VCplusD12 91]

No he's not.

 

 

Yes it is.

I get that, mostly, but my point is that Hedo is still a legit starter. I'm not sure I'd let Duhon start in peewee league.

 

Granted, though, that Hedo's contract is WAY bigger than his contributions and is going to be a lot harder to move. I'm just saying that if Hedo's starting next year, it's not the end of the world.

 

If Duhon's starting because 'Meer leaves and we don't have another guy in there? That will be.

 

While I agree Hedo starting wouldn't be as bad as duhon starting, he is in no way a legit starter. If Meer leaves and Hennigan cannot find a better starter than Duhon, then the world must have already ended.

Remember that we'll have a new coach who isn't in love with Duhon like SVG was, Ish is a much better player than Duhon, anyone can see that.

 

And I hope that even if we don't dump Hedo we don't play him at all like Dallas did with Odom (who still has much more value than Hedo)

Dwight doesn't need to re-sign pre-draft.

 

Dwight doesn't need to re-sign. The Magic just need to hold him past the olympics and Deron is gone so Brooklyn is out. No one else has the trade pieces or cap space to get him away.

Then at the end of next year if he decides he wants to leave, he leaves use with nothing. That is why he needs to resign before the trade deadline, though pre draft would be even better.

An 18 million dollar salary hole is nothing?

 

If you had 18 million dollars to spend, would you spend it on Kyle Lowry, Louis Scola, and buy their two draft picks or would you go for a big name in free agency?

 

Remember, we've signed 3 max guys and almost had a 4th but Duncan backed out. Orlando is a very good FA destination.

Honestly, if I were GM, I would actually trade Dwight Howard right away. The question is for what and for how much? Typically Centers, much like Dwight Howard, only last for a few years before they start to decline in value. I believe Howard is in that stage, and the Magic would get the most bang for their buck by trading him. The first question is, locating a team that seems desperate for a center. I'm thinking New York Knicks, the LA Lakers, or the OKC Thunder. (I'm sure there are other teams, but I think these teams make the most sense). I think the most profitable destination is the Thunder. They won't give up Durant, but they might give up Westbrook along with some other rising talent, like James Harden, ans Serge Ibaka would be a HUGE score. The question is, do the Thunder have the cap space? I think if the Thunder got rid of those 3 they might bite on Howard, and the Magic would have a blockbuster. I think the Knicks are more difficult. I don't see them giving up Melo. Amare is a tough sell. He, like Howard, is going towards his decline. I am not sold on the Jeremy Lin bandwagon, either. What I could foresee, is the Magic trading Howard for young talent, and draft picks. Without Dwight Howard, the magic really have nothing going for them. Then, Magic fans have to wait out waiting for a special draft pick like Dwight Howard, someday. That can be a very long wait, ask the Sacramento Kings. I really think trying to make a move to the Thunder is the way to go here for the Magic GM, young hungry talent, and a team just on the verge of a championship, may be looking a huge star presence alongside Durant. Howard fits that mold, and keeping Howard doesn't look profitable for the Magic since they don't have solid role players surrounding him to make that push. After this, I would try landing a center like Chris Kaman or Andrew Bynum or Andray Blatche to fill in the gaping hole at center left by Howard. I bet teams would bite on Arenas and Nelson in a combined deal. One center not in the NBA I think deserves a chance is Jeff Foote in the D-League. He was dominating for Cornell and even had quality outings against Kansas, Syracuse, and Wisconsin, but hasn't had a chance in the bigs yet. Give him a chance! Plus, it'll save the Magic money.

Keep a eye on Portland they could have at least 20 mil in cap space. They could sign Dwill and send us the 6th and 11th picks plus LA for Dwight and JRich

I know, finally!

What you're suggesting is not at all an option for ownership. If Dwight doesn't extend, he's a goner in a trade.

In a rec league maybe.

[Emory889 353]

No he's not.

 

 

Yes it is.

 

Well, the world is supposed to end this December anyways. Maybe none of this is a coincidence.
