jack daniel 999 27 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 Here you go The Clippers are the other team that could have space if they do not re-sign unrestricted free agent Corey Maggette. Maggette exercised his early termination option in his contract, leaving the Clippers about $10 million under the cap if they choose not to re-sign him. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=f...ge=FreeAgents-080629 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KillingInTheNameOf 63 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 quote: Originally posted by SmackDaddy:What I would like to see: 1) No more reports that another team was asking too much. 2) Otis grow a set and take just a small risk. 3) The Magic address NEEDS without shooting themselves in the foot or duplicating talent. 4) Otis not overpay. Oh wait. We don't need to worry about that anymore. Otis won't have cap space until 2072. 5) JJ Redick sitting the bench for a different team. 6) Something different. A move that would actually impress the masses, not just the Otis homers. Sounds about right, although, I'm inclined to keep JJ around since he wasn't moved at draft time. Can't imagine him getting us anything now. I will settle for anything that resembles progress. A move that provides a building block & not a stop gap. Anything that demonstrates Otis & management have more than air between their ears. P.S. I'm not optimistic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Solution 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 I believe it is the absence of signing that makes Maggette a fee agent and therefore doesn't become a free agent until midnight on the West Coast. I could be corrected on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are playing in Orlando Florida with a very young Dwight Howard can be sweet. (Especially if your family already lives here) I am very upbeat. Good news is coming soon. Let's not forget that Dwight Howard can opt out of his 5th year and can be a free agent. We are going to get it done this year!! I will believe that he'll accept a paycut in order to return home only when we'll have the sign on the end of the contract. But until now, reality is that all this hope started with a article on the Sentinel reporting thoughts of undisclosed friends of him, followed by another "news" declaring that the Magic are not pursuing him. Not enough to make me upbeat right now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sinister Grin 3 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 For all you people saying we shouldn't trade Hedo, where do you think he will be playing after the season is over? I doubt it will be for us. I don't see Otis being able to pay him the 4 or 5 million more he will be demanding so why not try get something for him while we can? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt it will be for us. I don't see Otis being able to pay him the 4 or 5 million more he will be demanding so why not try get something for him while we can? I'm worried too, but I would wait until the deadline in February. I mean, try to play Lewis at PF for another stint, if we still improve following this path, try to keep Hedo. If not, trade Hedo for a classic PF. Coming february, the market on PF position could be better (right now is quite poor) And we would have more time for trying to sign him to a fair extension if we couldn't find any good trade.

Ryan-Aussie Magic 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 Cooooooooooooooooooolison with a 3 was deal that gives us Livingston fromt he Clips and Collison and we throw away cook JJ bogans s&t arroyo, dooling Sign C Mags/ Pietrus witht he MLE PG Livingston SG Maggette/Pietrus SF Lewis PF Collison C Howard 6 Turkoglu 7 Nelson 8 Gortat (he's ready the warlock is) 9 Lee (good D and nice 3) 10 Battie Theres room for fran if he comes over. Perosnally i'm split with Pietrus and C Mags. One is an offensive dynamo one is a awesome defender. Pietrus probably has a better spot up and more potential, but you know your getting 20 a game and 10 ft attempts with c mags. With Pietrus Livingston (WE NEED HIM) Collison and Dwight on the floor, we actually have a very good defensive unit, not to mention Shard at the 3 is long so he'll get steals playing in the space a bit more and will make it hard for the normal SF to play cause he's 6'10 Then two of the best offensive bench guys in Turk and nelson who can suck up a lot of the remaining minutes.
