I too am glad that Bledsoe isn't coming this way.

The Clippers really did good on that trade. Pick up 2 perfect players for their system.

 

The Suns, well they have 2 pretty good PGs and Gortat. Not sure what they're doing.

 

The Bucks, well they've been losing out since they traded for Ellis and Redick. If I was a Bucks fan, I'd riot right now. Their moves lately have made Otis look great.

Something to think about, while we missed out on Bledsoe...the T-Wolves missed out on JJ. Unless they get OJ Mayo or something, they may come calling for Afflalo.

Minnesota just signed Kevin Martin. Maybe OKC will want Afflalo?

New Orlando Magic team rule: Thou shalt not pursue any person(s) related to or associated with Chris Paul. The process drags on , and the wanting party always comes up empty-handed.

 

Can we also agree not to make anymore "Magic going all in for..." threads? It clearly doesn't have the intended effect.

 

 

p.s. DOM did I make proper use of the ellipsis?

Agreed.

 

I don't know, I'm a little disappointed that we didn't get Bledsoe. I really feel like he'll be a solid starter (at worst). Poor guy can't catch a break, now he has to compete with Dragic, still. However, like has been said, he can still be a FA next summer, or we can draft someone next year.

 

My only problem with if we wait is.. what if we happen to get the #1 pick? I sure as hell wouldn't want to pass on Wiggins just to have a PG!

 

On the other hand, the Clippers made out real good... they're pushing the Thunder for my second favorite team. Chris Paul AND J.J.! I agree that Afflalo would fit that team better, but JJ is definitely an upgrade for them.

 

More than for the Clippers, I'm obviously thrilled for Redick. Contending team. Long term contract. Good weather and city life. Good for him, I'll still root for him for the rest of his career.. thank goodness it wasn't the Heat, or Celtics, or some other team I hate.

 

Still wondering what the Magic are going to do at PG.. but Jameer's still solid for another year or two, and we still have Afflalo and Davis for trade pieces later on.

 

In closing, the Milwaukee Bucks are a joke of Atlanta Hawks proportions. Unreal.

Affalo for Bucks 2014 first round pick, that would be a nice trade and Bucks need a SG.

I am happy for JJ too, he deserves better and I am glad he is going to a better team that can be a contender for a championship

That would be incredible, although highly unlikely

[For the love of the game 56]

Did you not see Duhon, Moore and Ish Smith on the list? Must not or you are just plain stupid with regards to the top NBA PG's. :)

 

Really, though, Irving is unimpressive? Avery Bradley has shown flashes. Then theres John Wall and Lillard. And oh yeah, Parker (Though not sure he has much left in the tank. Not sure about the rest, but some I now are young and likely raw so who knows.

 

Whats your idea of impressive? Stockton or Magic Johnson?

[CTMagicUK 1,480]

Lillard won't be a free agent he's a team option. Same with Kyrie I believe.
