If this is all you're going to say than why even bother watching or talking about the NBA anymore?...

We are talking about 30 years of vested time spent on a sport being flushed down the drain. I am sorry if I can't just think,"Oh, NBA is rigged, well I reckon we have to work with what we got left and enjoy that" and be happy go lucky. You don't just get over it that easy. I was getting the feeling the NBA was rigged the past few years, but after witnessing such an obvious blatant move like this, I get mad every time people defend it. But, I am almost over it and no longer real angry, just sarcastic. Someday, I may even be back to happy go lucky. I am fortunate that a true sport just started in the NFL where there is true parity where all teams are allowed to compete.

Reke is only 22 and i think he's pretty decent for his age....Redick ain't getting any younger i believe he's 28 going on 29 this upcoming season which means JJ is pretty much peaked....Tyreke is a better overall player imo regardless of the attitude issues.....this coming from a JJ fan

I got news for some of you guys. You better get used to undrafted free agents, 2nd round picks, etc. making the team. The scouting dept. is being put in place for a successful rebuild. This is the model folks. Expect maybe a free agent splash or whatnot years from now. But the draft picks will be a plenty, under the radar guys we'll all scratch our heads about at the time of the signing. Not spending the MLE on 1 year wonders. This is our new Magic and you better embrace it or go root for the Knicks.

Yeah, it was really stupid. Sad part is, Justin didn't even play during this past season.

Uh what are you guys talking about?

Man, if people can't get excited about this, i don't know what else to tell them. No more MLE Duhon/Pietrus/Barnes/Q signings. We're always going to have young, surprising players that will produce just as well as vets, for fraction of the cost. The new CBA will hamper teams that don't have their scouting in line. Glad we're tightening up!

JJ and Al for Tyreke + filler??

Yes, please.

MoMM · Post #1033 » by **MoMM** » Tue Aug 14, 2012 7:56 pm

Evans for JJ would be great, now we split our guards minutes between Nelson, Tyreke and Afflalo.

Nelson: 28mpg (all at 1)
Afflalo: 32mpg (all at 2)
Evans: 36mpg

6'6 athletic "PG" whose still on a cheap contract AND expires in '14? Sounds like something Hennigan would be excited about, if only it wasnt Magical reporting it

Whoa whoa whoa, lets not get too crazy, Jason Thompson is a future all NBA first team C, they arent just going to give him away, plus pretty sure he just re-signed so we couldnt trade for him for a while :lol:
