Re: Gilbert to Orlando heating up
You can tell a lot about Otis' body language. He's been frustrated by some things and interactions with teams (Looking at you Denver).
Penn pointed out, Otis in a t-shirt is a great thing. Too busy to get dressed up. Means he's been fielding calls probably all night.

Re: Gilbert to Orlando heating up
Man what kind of GM is this Otis...he talk 10 minutes what he could tell in 1 minute, same things, same sentences, same uncertainties...
It is stupid to talk about this rumors until you have a deal done, I do not know why he is talking to press.
I think he may take a lat look at the team next week
@atlanta
dalas
san antonio
boston
If you lose 2 or 3 games than I think big changes will happen

Yeah he just doesn't seem like the same Otis. He was talking about making trades left and right.

Re: Gilbert to Orlando heating up
Otis at the end of that morning interview: "Awesome". You know he was anxious to get back to phone calling.

What if this is just to light a fire under Carter and Lewis with big games coming up.
Or, just a smokescreen to gauge the interest in Melo.

Re: Gilbert to Orlando heating up
a trade with charlotte centered around vc/gortat/anderson/orton/3 mil cash for sjax/wallace/diaw could work if jordan decides to blow it up and save cash with young players

Re: Gilbert to Orlando heating up
Is it just me or are some of those comments borderline tampering?
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.
- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

It's pretty evident in the Otis video that Carmelo is not available to us.

let him take 6 more shots and play 8 more minutes every game, then you'll have VC from NJ days
Oh, it's THAT EASY?!
So if we give him 6 more shots and 8 more mins, he wont miss clutch freethrows? he wont go 2 for 9 in a big conf. finals game? He wont shoot .085 % through the 1st and 2nd rounds of the playoffs?
Man, if only Stan knew it was that easy..
Carter fanboys are a joke.
Nothing is better than having a debate about Carter with NoLimit involved. The funniest thing is you point out how Vince went 1-9 in the ECF yet you never realize that him going 1-9 didn't lead to them losing, the Magic actually won that game. Why is it that you never mention going 9-18 in ECF which is a game the Magic lost? Oh wait, because he actually played good that game so you can't blame that loss on him. Or how about the fact that you never bring up the fact that other players struggled during that series too during the games the Magic actually lost such as Dwight going 3-10 in games 1 and 3 and Jameer going 4-12 in game 2? I just find it hilarious how you critisize Vince's two worst games but those were in fact the games the Magic won yet never point any blame to other players for playing bad in the games that the Magic actually LOST.
Also he did indeed shoot 8% from 3 but that was only in the 1st round, not the 2nd round as well, check your facts. As far as the FT's go, yeah he is definitely to blame for that. It is unacceptable to miss 2 ft's in a clutch situation like that, I agree there. However, it happens and others have done the same ala Gilbert Arenas:

'You could have Dwight bring it up the floor and then pass it to Gil....I mean....if it.....goes through....if that...were.....to happen.'
