I would trade with the rockets for Robinson. Could be great next to Vuc.

I'd take a flyer. We can absorb him and there's potential there.

Does anybody find it assuming that Orlando is keeping tighted lipped about the draft process, yet they are not sold on Burke aka rumor mill?

IMO, they will not even tell us fans who they will working out and have interview (they have the #2 pick for crying out loud not mid lottery lol)...this could be a smokescreen by Orlando to take Burke!

I'm sure all these rumors that say Burke won't be anything special in the league, only fuels him even more! He could be a special talent with proper adjustment to the NBA!

We could use our tpe and they get back zero salary which sounds like what they want.

Why the heck would we need smokescreen to draft Burke? Unless you're afraid another team trade for Cavs pick or we trade down. Both seem unlikely.

Maybe Magic wants to evaluate all the prospects to get a better idea who they should pick? That's my reasoning.

Magic might be afraid that a team like the Kings might trade Cousins for #1 and draft Burke, that could be one option...I'm sure Henny has a reason for this.

I think he has that it factor. Can't explain it but he just seems legit. I really like Oladipo as well. Seems like a Henny type of guy. I guess only time will tell.

Trade for TRob, Trade for Bledsoe & Draft McLemore.

PG - Bledsoe
SG - McLemore
SF - Harris
PF - TRob
C - Vuc

Top 6th Man - Harkless.

Good plan! I'd take that or:

PG - Burke/Nelson
SG - Afflalo/Moore
SF - Harris/Hark
PF - TRob/Nicholson
C - Vuc/O'Quinn

But if somehow we traded Afflalo + Davis for a 2nd lottery pick:

PG - Burke/Nelson
SG - McLemore/Moore
SF - Harris/Hark
PF - TRob/Nicholson
C - Vuc/O'Quinn

Humb1e_Hungry23 @orlandosentinel thank you for awesome article touch.orlandosentinel.com/#section/-1/ar… hoping to make Orlando my home #magic #2013draft

Mr. McLemore is certainly saying the right things.

I can't claim to be an expert on McLemore, Oladipo, Burke, Noel, Porter, or Bennett, but I trust Hennigan and his crew to make the correct decision.

I'll be excited regardless of who we draft.

McLemore is pretty funny..his Vine posts. Lmao :lol:

Well they do call Jennings and Ellis the "Swag Twins" over on the Bucks board lol.
That's where I got it from, I've been living on their boards lately after the whole Tobis thing went down.

Me too actually

TRob is garbage in Houston ,period. He never got playing time. If he is as good as he is advertised, he could well stay at Sacramento. Guess what?

K.mclemore

MagicFan32 · Post #1200 » by **MagicFan32** » Fri May 31, 2013 8:45 am

there is some vucevic type upside there with robinson, he averages almost 5/5 in 15 minutes, per 36 numbers are promising, however the 43% FG is not
