Like I said:
A guard that can't get minutes from two different coaches.
A combo guard who might be lost for nothing in the offseason. (didn't he already said that he'd like to test the waters out there? Honest question because I might be confusing him with someone else. )
A pick in the low 20's.

Yeah, awesome assets to keep right now when we're really in need of a big that can actually rebound.

apparently, teams were willing to deal if JJ was included...so let that add to the weight on the camels back...

Are other teams afraid that Garrity is gonna disrupt their chemistry? :lol:


I heard there was concern that Garrity takes up too much bench space for many teams.

i'm gonna punch a wall man...we needed to make a move, no matter what anyone on the team or associated with them tells you...moves could have been made to boost us while not handcuffing us...

Agreed Zupa - if JJ is necessary let him go. Why do we need JJ to sit on the bench - the Magic feel they can't play him without a defensive upgrade. JJ may be good, but how will we ever know and if he lights it up in practice who cares if he can't get on the court.

Otis needs to give them Garrity, Augustine and JJ or Garrity, Augustine and our late 1st round pick

No bull excuses from Otis this time - not cool keeping our expiring contracts and getting nothing - no excuse - I am now going to turn on Otis - I was always giving him the benefit of the doubt, but no move is inexcusable - he has made no moves way too often - if no move I am all for firing the guy and especially if the no move had to do with not trading Redick - Otis you can't be that dumb - you better pull the trigger on Wilcox or someone

Otis needs to go meet with the equipment manager and get two new big orange basketballs. He appears to have lost the ones previously assigned to him.

Otis better start thinking up his lame ass excuses now - they all wanted Dwight and I wasn't going to trade Dwight
