yeah I agree a true swap just isnt gonna work.

was that an acrimonious response lets go magic? or were you serious? its hard to tell on the boards. regarding turk....not jameer

[Ned Ryerson 94]

I got the idea from Schmitz, he mentioned it in his blog today ( http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_magic/2007/04/disaster_avoide.html ). Perhaps something like Nelson and a pick? Nelson and Dooling? I dunno, but it would be nice to get him.

i would do that, but jameer and dooling only make a combined 6 mil next year. millers contract is 10 mil next year...maybe if we add bogans...

That's a lot of salary to lock up for just Andre Miller.

Nelson and Turk for Andre Miller works according to RealGM.

 

Then sign Wallace or Lewis.

 

I could live with that.

 

Might even get a draft pick in the trade.

i tend to agree, although you could then kiss our pg debate goodbye...is it worth the extra salary?

Initially, you sacrifice depth for a better first unit.

 

But if this team could show itself to be a championship contender, the depth problem can be resolved on a yearly basis by picking up those cagey veterans who are willing to play for smaller salaries to have a shot at a Ring.

Sorry Murphy, It was a serious post

 

I disagreed with the blanket statement that Turk was better then Lewis. But by explaining the difference between Lewis and Turk contract and comparison of there abilities. I agree. It looks like Turk is better for the magic then Lewis.

 

If Lewis had the ability to take over a 4th quarter when you need him to and be the "go to guy" down the stretch. Then I would say I Lewis is still worth the money. But I'm not really sure he a take over a game kinda guy, like his partner Ray Allen.

As long as we did that strictly for depth, it's ok. But lets not decide to mortgage our future for a title like Miami did.

Turk and Nelson for Miller and a pick sounds good... that would move Ariza into the starting lineup... I cant think of one Magic fan who would have a problem with that.

[Murphy13 185]

would it be possible/likely to trade turk and jameer for miller, then sign wallace straight up as a fa? that would be a killer offseason. we wouldnt even need the draft.
