Orl/Sac

I think orlando needs some help and I think the kings really need to rebuild if we ever truly want to compete for a title.

Bibby
for
Arroyo
Reddick
Garrity
lotto protected 1st 08

The Kings drop Bibby for a decent prospect in Reddick and a 1st.

Orlando gets a nice PG to help them compete now.

Orlando lineup
Jameer/Dooling
Bibby/Evans
Hedo/?
Lewis/Foyle
Howard/Battie

Orlando's bench is still pretty bad but the starting lineup is scary. Too many shooters for a team to handle and Howard is creating space for all the shooters by drawing so many double teams.

I don't think the Magic really need Bibby, but if no better trade is out there for us for a SG or a PF, I would do this.

Take out the first and make it a 2nd and we got a deal.

I think Miller (Andre, well actually, Brad too) would be a better fit for the Magic than Bibby.

Agreed, if we trade with the Kings at all it would be to get Miller.

I think the Brad Miller option would be a better one. The Bibby trade doesn't ultimately save them that much money in the long term, so unless orlando wanted Kenny Thomas (yah, yah, I know), the incentive is not huge. Miller's deal is longer, and though he is playing quite, I think the most optimistic observer would have to concider his best days behind him.

It should be said that this is contigent on the Kings decision to carry out an immediate rebuild. If thats not the case, than this trade is less than exciting, but its a solid effort.

That's fine, just switch Mike Bibby to Kenny Thomas then. :crazy:

Kings pass. Nothing worthy here, expirings ok, Reddick sucks and we have plenty of guards, and a lotto protected first isn't exactly eye candy.
