jrjr1229 9 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 your missing the point....its not about winning again I don't understand the logic of getting Aron... if we still have d12 and we got aron, then I would understand... he is a good piece around your center player but if we're going to rebuild... by the time that happens.. aron is going to be old... what are we trying to do?

Catman 380 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 Aflallo makes sense because for what you get, he is not expensive. This is a guy who can give 15-19ppg, and play sound wing defense. The worst case for us is in 2 years he is our 6th man because we signed Harden or drafted a complete beast SG. He also can be traded as well. Best case, he blossoms as a starter here and the Magic high five each other. But regardless, this is a guy who will provide talent and depth on the wings, which leads me to.. Harkless. This guy needs time to develop. He has a 7 foot wingspan and insane athletic ability. If he is properly developed, he will be our very own Nick Batum and we will be resigning this guy for a 10-12mm a year deal in 2015. Currently, he has no outside shot and is rather raw. If this was an SVG or Brian Hill staff, forget it, but we are very new school and are focusing on player development now. What this means is that Harkless will actually play for us off the bench. He will be utilized in the Vaughn offense, which means he will get corner 3s to build his long range game on, and will be encouraged to crash the boards and take advantage of his insane athleticism. Harkless will be a showcase for this new staff because it is their job to make him a stud. Off the bench we have JJ..a great bench guy who is perfect for the locker room. We obviously are still thin at wing, but have no doubt upgraded from the old slowness prior and this is why Aflallo is valued by Orlando. Bigs. We have a lot of bigs. This is the new NBA in which you go for young bigs and see who fits the system and who doesnt. As of right now, we still have Nicholson, and this is a guy who could easily develop into a 15/10 PF for us in 2-3 years. I think he would come off the bench behind Harrington but will split time, which leads me to .. Baby. Can a Baby/Harrington frontline be effective? I honestly dont thin kso. It seems like a rather small lineup to me and this is why Harrington coming here seems like overkill. Ideally, I want baby at PF working inside next to a taller shooter like Vucevic. The Harrington part really puts us in a logjam at big right now and makes me nervous that the Magic may trade Nicholson. If that happens, it would be poor decision IMO.

Nyce_1 311 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 The thing is we got no foundation player out of this trade all these players can easily be moved within three years. It would've been nice to get an Eric Gordon, Al Jefferson, Derrick Favors, Gallinari type prospect in return the foundation is the system; the vision; the culture. No one player is above that. We'll get our star player or two in the years to come, but until then, we'll work on creating a culture and a system that creates winning ball and sustains its longevity.

Antihero 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 How many of those are the main piece to win a championship? Orlando is starting over, period end of story. A lot of pics and capspace going forward. They can either trade Hedu/Harrington because both players can be cut at the end of this year. Either way, we are fighting back and forth on a trade that hasn't gone through and we don't know everything yet. Can we just agree on GO MAGIC! if not, cheer for another team. Is Harden and Ibaka centerpieces for the Thunder? no they are very good young players that compliment stars in Durant and Westbrook. I don't understand why some posters are insuled by the idea of getting a good-elite young prospect to pair with future top picks and rather have mid-level prospects Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
