I just finished creating 36, so don't worry about it. I'm just playing the waiting game for it to go live!

Okay man.

Rockets' position strengthened, sources say, by fact no team has yet offered Magic better pick than first-rounder via Toronto in Lowry trade

I swear I wish I had the funds I would throw a huge "good riddance/it's over" party once he is gone for all of the fans. We have been dealing with the lockout with all other fans, and then immediately after all this crap with Dwight for over a year. I don't tho.

Gotta keep the expectations low yall, remember, this Houston deal can't be substantially better than the NJ one, otherwise it'd be done by now.

Brook Lopez max contract, enough said.

My wish without thinking a lot over it.

Magic send:
D12, Jrich, Q (worse contract than Duhon's)

Magic receive:
Dontas Montiejunas
Kevin Martin
Lamb
Shaun Livingston
HOU 1st Rounder
TOR 1st Rounder
Another 1st or Parsons

Please just trade with Houston and leave LA out of it!

i'm with you on this. sometimes, it's those nobody's that know the real deal. I'm following him.

Yes please.

I'd leave White and take Parsons & 3-4 draft picks.

If you had to choose White or a future pick?

Is it wrong that I want to take LA out of the deal and just do it straight up with HOU so that D12 doesn't get to contend? It doesn't benefit us in our return, I assume, but I just feel better knowing that D12 is in HOU wasting a year of his career. That plus the draft picks are a sweetener.

Also, I see no reason why we couldn't get both Parsons and Lamb. I'd be more interested in those 2 on the Rockets roster, mainly because Parsons proved he can play at the NBA level and Lamb has potential to be a star.

What this guy said.

Wouldn't wish a Max Blopez, who only played 5 games last season, on my worst enemy...

To back up @JRudolphSports, this is a rental coming to fruition. DH/agent want Brooklyn. Magic flirted w/facilitation. Deal never convincing

I'd say Donatas would be the PF and BBD would be our center. Motiejunas is too skinny to play at center (215lbs).

Looks okay but id say atleast 3 First rounds picks coming to orlando including that toronto pick.

Also Davis at Center and Motiejunas at PF

By the way, we'd win fewer than 20 games with that roster. Tank indeed

That's the goal, as many have said no point in putting together a team that's gunna go .500 for the next half decade. A deal like this would give us a top 4 pick hopefully and a bunch young trade assets. But I think guys like Motiejunas, Parsons, Nicholson would be pieces that you keep around and put next to a star. Best case scenario, we strike gold and land Nerlens Noel. Give that team a year or two and we should be right back in the thick of things with aging Heat and Nets teams...

In short: Lakes need 3rd team to do Dwight deal. Nets do NOT but direct ORL deal TRICKY. Rockets can do it direct or facilitate & get Bynum

Depends on the pick's value, it's a late lottery or late 1st?

Cmon Rockets-Magic deal!! lol
F the Nets/Lakers becoming super teams, they just recycle those talents into more talent, it's an endless cycle and cripples our own chances to compete for a #1-#2 seed later on. The Rockets deal gives the best picks, rookie-scaled prospects, cap space non-obligations. We will get our own lotteries/picks easily. Rockets will try to make a super team but out in the West and from the ground up instead of a silver platter handed to them. The new era Magic won't have to worry about a super Nets team, in fact, future-wise, I'm guessing only the Heat, Bulls, Pacers look dangerous.
