Rudolph is saying a deal isn't done but it's in place. There HAS to be something more to this than just Jamal

I can't decide if an Arenas/Crawford backcourt would work.

I can. The answer is quite simply... hell no!

If we get Josh Smith, then I'm all for it

The collective talents of Smith and Crawford makes it better. Crawford alone is just sad.

Dwight makes us contenders with last years roster intact. You're right adding Crawford and Jsmith would increase those chances exponentially.

I dont know man, this doesnt seem right not for that much money. If it's true then it's the only thing he's got imo. It's an upgrade over Jrich and JJ imo in terms of scoring I like it but clearly not the answer we were looking for. If this is true, then I hope Otis has somehow convinced dwight to wait until next offseason, I just dont think he'd add Crawford for that much without something else in his back pocket. Maybe GS wants Crawford instead of Jrich and GS/Orl/Atl have got something going on..who really knows.

I can't decide if an Arenas/Crawford backcourt would work.

It's very hard to figure out where everything is heading... one minute we all think J-Rich is being S&T to GS or NOH. Next minute we hear we're getting Crawford. Then Crawford & Smith. And I'm sure we have all speculated the fact that Orlando, Atlanta, and NOH could be involved in a 3-team deal. And just 20 days away from the start of the season, this is just maddening. I want to know what's happening to our guy... our superstar... I want him to stay here, and the guy in control of this happening is Otis freakin Smith... a man with a sketchy track record... yeah he's pulled off some good deals... but he's also pulled off some terrible ones too. It's a bit worrisome.

Maybe you're thought process is right about GS wanting Crawford instead J-Rich. GS/Orl/Atl seem to have a good match on Trade Machine (I was messing around with it) than NOH/Orl/Atl.

these are the same guys plugging him into starting line ups. I'm sorry but truth be told he's a good role player. not starting caliber.

Edit: I'm really starting to worry a bit.

Chicago could be dangerous with Rose/Crawford backcourt and Deng/Booze/Noah frontcourt.

Crawford's stats aren't terrible, he's just way too inconsistent. He's sure as hell not worth $10 million.

No thanks on Josh Smith. His basketball IQ, at least to me, is as high as a rock.

Good shot blocker, good rebounder, good slasher, attacks the rim and childhood friend of Dwight. If Dwight wants him, the Magic need to get him.

Jamal is 2 For 16 this season from 3pt land against the Heat. Damn, they locked him up every time....

MagicStarwipe · Post #159 » by **MagicStarwipe** » Tue Dec 6, 2011 1:52 am

It's true about Smith's bball IQ. He can also be lazy.

LOL like we choose from different allstars. If we can get him we have to do it. His bball IQ is better than bass imo
