SportsCenter‏@SportsCennter: #Rockets have traded the 14th, 16th, and 18th pick along with Kyle Lowry to the #Chumps for Pau Gasol! Retweeted by David Baumann‏ @DavidBaumann33 22m ago

True that!

Ya for a second I thought it was legit because David Baumann retweeted it, but he fell for the ol Parody Account.

#Magic G @JRich23 to me on last year: "I had a rough season. But, I'm coming back stronger and looking forward to doing big things."

Does getting stronger in the weight room make your handles better? I do not understand.

David Baumann ‏@DavidBaumann33
#Magic's @JRich23 to me on ORL offseason: "You go 1-15 (on roster), and everything could change including @DwightHoward... Nobody is safe."

[MoMM]

Maybe he will have more confidence to penetrate? no homo.

[OrlChamps2030]

I'm not sure if brute strength is the solution to J-Rich's penetration problems

double no homo

There is no "dream" scenario in which we trade Dwight. We're going to miss the playoffs for awhile in any scenario in which we trade Dwight.

Twitter will be the death of Western Civilization. Book it.

Oops I meant to say:

@The1llness
My sources are telling me that Twitter will be the end of Western Civilization.

The attacking aliens will hijack twitter and lead us astray by keeping us busy.....they may have done it already judging from the fake reports.

Not necesarily, we could end up like Denver. Not as if that is he ideal scenario, but we could still be a playoff team with the right trade. Esecially with the bottom of the East being weak.

Man, I remember that quote last year heading into the season... he said a bunch of positive things. I bought in and thought he'd finally "feel comfortable" and knock down a bunch of shots for us. Instead, he played worse! He obviously did nothing during the offseason. WTF.

[MagicTownBaller]

So, on to more regular topics. Who does everyone want at #19 in the draft? Realistic answers please.

IMO

Best Case: Kendall Marshall/Jared Sullinger

Worst Case: Tony Wroten/Moe Harkless (Spelling)

[FFBlitzace]

The only improvement J-Rich could make would be to get his 3pt% up around 40%. He wasn't our idealized slasher in his prime, let alone now. He's a spot up shooter who didn't shoot all that well this past season despite getting plenty of good looks. He's not going to magically expand his game this offseason after 11 years in the league. All he can hope to do is shoot better.

I agree partly. For me it is

Best Case: Kendall Marshall/ Jared Sullinger

Worst Case: pick traded for nothing
