i dont think the topic starter meant that his friend said thats EXACTLY how the trade will go down..

just that hedo will be included in a trade to a "west conf" team.

so it might not even be san antonio or phoenix...

if a hedo trade is in the works nonetheless...

i'm hoping its for a quality,and i mean QUALITY big man or playmaker.

Man I love how whenever someone claims to have any inside info, the cold plunge comes up. If not for anything else, I hope I made people aware of what a cold plunge is and understand that if they just suffered an injury they can use one with the chance of seeing a Magic player... or an old, naked man.
Both thrilling and shocking.

This game is called Otis trying to find out who he can and cannot open his mouth to.

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

I don't know man it will be a tough sell that this is real with so many "insiders" over the years. If they are offering Manu or Nash for Hedo I would not turn that down.

so who would we get then???


I don't know. If Dallas kept losing, we might have been able to string together a package for Dirk revolving around Hedo. We don't have the young talent to offer though so I doubt they would bite on that. We'd also have to include Battie and Bogans just to make contracts work.

Dirk is the only big name player I could see us getting, and that was only because Dallas was sucking it up. They look like they are turning the corner now.

olajuwon and samson, couldn't get it done.


Olajuwon and Sampson went to the Finals in their second season together and took the Bird/McHale/Parish Celtics to 6 games, with the two of them as second and third year players respectively. Had Sampson been able to stay healthy, they'd likely have been dominant for years.

Both of these trades seem almost completely unlikely and I know this wouldn't happen. However, I'm sure the concept of Hedo getting traded to the West is at least being discussed. And it wouldn't surprise me if SA wanted to trade Manu Ginobili for Hedo. I mean maybe they know something we don't and think he is too hurt and beat up to be the same player. If that's the case, we get raped in the trade. But if he still can play and we could find a way to get Kurt Thomas I would be totally down with that. If we could do a Ginobili/Kurt Thomas trade I would probably give up anyone other than Dwight and Lewis. It would just totally depend on Manu's health but if you think your going to lose Hedo, your gonna have to gamble and go with something to try to keep this team as a contender. If we lose Hedo for nothing, we go down to 6th, 7th or 8th in the East imo. We can't let that happen so I would do the SA trade if it really was on the table.

The PHX one I don't buy for a second and I doubt the Magic would consider it. We know the love affair with Jameer and they won't trade Jameer and Hedo for an old Nash and Grant Hill.

Both trades are highly unlikely but the concept of Hedo going West is right on imo if we decide we can't keep him.

I do believe Hedo will be traded . I don't think Otis wants to sink 50-60 mil into a player that's gonna be 30 soon , and I don't think he wants to take a chance on losing Hedo for nothing . I don't think the SA and PHX deals will happen , but some deal will IMO

like he spent 120 million for a player that is already 30?

makes perfect sense.

He's not 30, he was 27 when he signed the contract .
