He can't even get the ball to mid-court anymore :lol:

Duhon actually hasn't been playing THAT bad the past few games.. I'd much rather shed Baby and Hedo.

I seriously cannot wait until this trading deadline is over with. All this drama regarding our team is just getting annoying as hell.

This.

I do not believe that article regarding us being trade partners with Chicago. If we are going to trade him, I really hope it is to the Western Conference and to a team where they have assets that will actually help us now and in the future.

same here... I'd honestly rather let Dwight walk than take on Chicago's crap (Boozer).

I think that Atlanta might have a better package besides of Chicago.

They need to do something soon, because other teams is waiting for Magic to do something and its going to pissed off alot of ppl if they sit on their hands.

In Martins We Trust. He is our only hope in saving this situation because you and I both know Otis won't do it. Hell if Alex didn't intervene earlier, Dwight would be with the Nets already... :nonono:

I'm gonna call (cough, cough) BULLSH*T! I usually respect Berger, but wasn't it last week he thought Steve Nash would be traded to us? And this trade is no where close to what NJ is offering, and that offer is sh*t too.

Why would we be interested in Carlos Boozer?? He's got 3yr/47mil left on his contract after this season ..

I'd rather keep Hedo and his less-per-year & earlier-FA contract in that case ..

Really, If I'd hear the name Boozer in any talk, i'd instantly hang up the phone. Boozer is the exact opposite of whatever we want back in a trade. He's old + has an absolutely horrible contract, so that doesn't fit the description IMO

Deng/Noah & NO Boozer and I'd remotely start considering .. But Boozer? LOL

Tell them to read the whole article.. the part where it says Dwight's resistance to commit long term pretty much killed any potential to a deal

Oh, and to those of you who even remotely like that Chicago deal, that deal would put us in an even worse cap situation as we are in now .. I've just checked the numbers

If the deal would be Dwight/Hedo for Deng/Boozer/Asik, we won't have capspace untill the summer of 2014 and that capspace would be 6mil ..

Not even Otis Smith can be this stupid, right? I'm beginning to think he is, cause this trade would be exactly like all his previous trades .. Getting back an over-the-top, overpaid former all-star

boozer is a player you unload, not a player you get in return for Dwight.
