Jagsfreak27 44 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 I would much rather see Robinson start for us and take his faults, over seeing Glen Davis shoot a 18 foot contested jumper as the shot clock expires. I think his athleticism would give (if we traded for him) bledsoe or (if we draft him) Burke someone to dump it to when they are in the paint. Its not like Robinson would cost us much. Absolutely, at this point you have nothing to lose and he can be had for the McBob TPE, which means we could keep the Dwight TPE intact to make a run at the Dallas pick. I also just noticed an interesting tweet from Ben Mac.

TrueBlueDrew 75 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 Old Poster -- New name so let me start off by saying, whats up and it's good to see the forum hasn't really changed a bit. Off-season posts going 143 pages...I like it. Doesn't mean I'm gonna read it, but I like it. Since I didn't feel like reading all of that stuff, I am just interested to hear opinions on this. Why is everyone interested in BenMac over Oladipo? Being in Kentucky, I unfortunately got to watch O a lot and the mans got crazy athletic potential and a really strong motor on both ends of the court from what I've seen. Also, wanted to know what the interest is in Noel? Since the Magic already have an emerging star in Vucevic, why the interest in Noel as well? I'm a Kentucky fan, so I love the guy and could tell you a lot about him. But the injury worries me and I think it would be safer to go with a 2-3 type player. (Maybe that is the overall consensus anyway) Excited about the future though, Magic will be the next Thunder, Grizzlies in a few short years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder what this suggests about the Cavs' interest in him, as just yesterday Ben said that he was only "comfortable" with Cleveland. Or perhaps he's more intimidated at the prospect of competing with Waiters than Afflalo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,421 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 I'd be down with taking a flyer on T. Robinson, assuming the cost is fair. At worst, he provides competition. At best, we acquire an asset with something to prove to the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magician09 5 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 At this stage of our rebuild, it's all about acquiring talent. If you can trade for a guy that is one year removed from being a top 5 pick and only give up a TPE and a protected pick for him, you do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Natesroom 197 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 seriously i just watched video of him in the NBA, and he does have athleticism and looks like fundamentals. He absolutely runs down the floor fast and at 6'10 thats a good thing. I think he would be a steal like Harris. He has a great back to basket spin, up and under move with a very long arm extension. I would love to see: Nelson/Burke Harkless/Moore Harris/ Davis/Robinson/Nicholson Vuc/Oquinn I wounder if he could play the three? Can we have enough ball and sharing to give the rock to harkless, harris, robinson and vuc and davis? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't combine player exceptions as far as I know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeHateMe 697 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 After reading that Sentinel article (I know, not always the most telling), I just really feel comfortable in saying that as long as Cleveland doesn't take B-Mac, he will be our pick and I would actually be really surprised if it's anything but him.

HeHateMe 697 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 Interesting considering there's nothing in the article that indicates we are leaning that direction. Just feels like a good fit. And i get a since of chemistry from reading it. I'm willing to bet if he's available at 2 he's our pick. If your so confident I'm wrong like always go ahead and put your money where your mouth is. I have paypal I'm sure you do too. Let's roll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think your always wrong...I just think it's funny considering he hasn't even visited Orlando yet. Yes I have paypal. What's the bet? McLemore vs. the field? I'm game for a friendly wager, although for the record I'd be happy with McLemore... I agree it seems like a fit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
