Hedo JJ 2 future firsts and anythin else atl want

This is just more fuel to my fire.. if we don't trade Hedo to get a freakin' power forward, I'm gonna be one unhappy SOB come training camp!

Here's a nyce thread over on EBSports. Take it for what it's worth, but apparantly, Josh Smith posted there a few times, answering fans' questions.

 

It's an interesting read.

post #67 stands out to me. its his response to someone asking him if he'd consider playing in Orlando with Dwight...

On the other hand...I really don't care. Its up to Otis.

 

Is there no end to your Hedo homerism?

 

who the **** is micheal jordan? we have THE TURK!!!!

turk, redick, cook, and 2 future 1st for smith resigned at 12 mill/yr

 

Exactly

Smith is right at the top of the list of players in the league that I would love to see on the Magic.

Hell id give up Turk for less. But if you could get Josh Smith, id be friggin deliriously happy.

 

What ever it took to get it done, im in.

Im just imiganing Josh Smith and Dwight Howard next to each other on the magic ... my god athletasism and insane dunks on one end and amazing blocks on the other... 'drools'

[ufballer86 0]

the max that atl could sign and trade him for is 13 mill/yr, i assume seeing as thats what dwights max deal starts at next year.

 

probably the biggest hindering point of a deal going down is atl being in our division, and subsequintly our *****es for the next decade

would you go over the lux cap to get a guy like josh smith here and extended? i'm sure we'd have to give up hedo or something if atl would even trade within it's divison. i'd eat the lux cap with a knife and fork and get maggatte here as well, if your going to do something, might has well do it right.... but that's more of a mental fantasy where we have all sorts of cash and an owner willing to dish it out.

Josh Smith, in my opinion, is exactly what this team needs. Will it happen? (I hear crickets)

No....I'm so high like a bird that touches the sky....but to be serious, yes..I think we can get more then Hedo for him. I look at the big picture. Who had the better season overall...I can't get why you guys are so clueless on that point.
