Magic make 2 big trades

[Foye]

Hedo, JRich for Carter, Pietrus and Gortat?

Unless Hedo somehow starts to produce again that's going to turn out very bad for them.

Any of your bigs available? More specifically Darko?

Probably not. Our front court is depleted right now. And definitely not Darko.

What if we offer TPE for Darko & Fran/Cash for nothing, since you can absorb it?

Sorry, Darko is untouchable.

[Yes We Kahn]

Sorry, Darko is untouchable.

Its funny, but Darko is about as untouchable as it gets. I mean unless they want to give us Dwight

As weird as that might sound.

Once the team is healthy you can probably have Koufos although I'm not sure how the FO views him. They did accept his option so they must have some plan and he's definitely produced the last few games when given minutes.

I don't see Howard re-upping with Orlando after this.

Dwight on the wolves?

One can dream

Yeah, I think the Magic just got worse. JRich is the only player there that makes any sense for them. Turkoglu, ugh. Arenas, I'm screaming for the door. That team looked so good getting to the Finals and hasn't made much sense since.

Phx, well, they got rid of Turkoglu's hideous contract. good move for their part. Pietrus also makes a lot of sense for them. I wonder what the thought process was in Orlando...

I think the Magic considerably raised their ceiling, but if it doesn't work the fallout will be considerably worse.

They do need a backup center now, but Shard and Vince weren't going to help them get over the hump. Hell, swapping out Hedo for Vince a couple years ago made them worse.
