We should trade Arroyo for Barea

That way hispanic Magic fans would still have a Puerto Rican player to root for and the team would have a scoring machine who rebounds amazingly for his size, is one of the top three speed guards in the NBA, and still has upside to boot.

I personally like this idea. Very well thought out.

I'm pretty sure this is actually how GM's make trades.

heck yeah, we can fool fans two for one and keep them all....he will give us another latin star and the name JJ. I am sure no one will know the difference..(ends sarcasm)

the good thing about that suggestion is Jameer would no longer be attacked - the focus of attack would be Tony Battie - I think Jameer is better than Battie so I could accept that.

Lol.. gotta love how JJ Barea rebounds. He should be called the Power Midget. He loves to hustle.

 

He's got some range too, went 4-4 against the Kings.

I know that you aren't intending to make a generalization, so please don't feel I am directing this at you personally. But this comment does represent part of the problem others of us have with understanding the "Arroyo" factor.

 

I would root for the Magic even if every player was from India, or Russia, or straight outta Compton. And it doesn't mean that I don't take as much pride in my roots or my heritage. It is because I am a basketball fan, following a basketball team that is located in my city of residence. I am not rooting for them because one of my fellow countrymen is on the team.

 

But if you are rooting for a team for this reason, well, that it OK and it is certainly your right, but it will still consternate others who just don't see why it has to matter.

We should trade Arroyo with Redick and Garrity for Ron Artest.

I haven't checked the salaries to see if it would work, but on the surface, it gives Sacramento something of substance.

 

The real question is what Artest would do to the locker room. Also, does Artest meet the "character" requirements this team seems to adhere to?

Otis seems to be sticking to the Spurs model of staying away from questionables like Artest.
