yeah, he's been disappointing. it sucks we gave up 2 very good picks for him, but sometimes, you just gotta take the L. Hopefully Henny can move him for at least 1 2nd rounder but not expecting any miracles.

Like others have said, he'll be gone by next week.

Well, at least it wasnt Rob's fault and the one to blame is already gone. If we lost 2 2nd picks for him, so be it, Rob is getting some young talents without picks anyway (Jones, Ish and Moore, ie).

The only thing Rob could have done is traded Harper to LA, Philly or Denver for nothing, but i think he tried to give him a chance to prove in summer league and preseason, but unfortunately Justin is THIS bad. Now imagine if he sends him for nothing and Justin becomes a valuable backup, not a good way to start his career as a GM, right?

Jones should definitely make the team

I don't see the need for Q-Rich or McRoberts on this team, unless Rob has a trade in a mind.

Our team has so much depth that we don't need 14, let alone 15 players. Jones will be kept because he's got good skills, athleticism and hustle. McRob, OTOH, is our 7th big man, and Q would be our 7th wing. We don't need more veteran leadership with Meer, JJ, Harrington, Baby, Aff, so it comes down to trade value. Who do you get better value back on - Q or Josh? Easy answer.

Turn Q-Rich into a shooting coach at his current salary and bring DQJ on to replace him.

DQJ better not be cut. If it was Otis he would be gone already lol I have hope

I was very surprised that Eyenga was cut. Was excited to get him as part of the trade. Thought he had a lot of potential. Seeing that Orlando has to either make cuts or trades to get down to 15 players I have to agree with most of you that Q, McRoberts, & Justin Harper are the next to go.

Anyone know anything about this Chris Johnson guy on the Magic? Is he any good or have potential?

PG: Jameer/Moore/Ish

SG: Afflalo/Redick/Q

SF: Turk/Harkless/Jones

PF: Davis/Harrington/Nicholson

C: Vucci/Goose/O'Quinn

Now that I look at this team, it doesn't look that bad. I know we won't compete with the big dogs, but I think it won't be painful to watch the games, and I think we can be competitive enough to win about 30-35 games this season. Just hope JV rotates the players properly and lets Goose/Nicholson/Jones/O'Quinn develop so we have more tradeable assets when the times comes.

Not for nothing but I think I could hold rip to 4-14 shooting at this stage in his career.

For that past week, everytime ive tried to come to realgm, my antivirus has been screaming virus alerts. after ignoring them, i had multiple windows open one after another crashing my system. Anyone else having problems?

We just need to cut Q and be done with it. I don't want to see him go because I'm pretty sure he's a good influence on the rest of the players, but he's dead weight. I'd rather keep McRoberts.

You don't cut a HOF player in his prime, well unless we are tanking

Will you still monitor "QRO" if he is cut?

Of course, but after careful consideration i would be done with the NBA, its all a conspiracy, the NBA is rigged and it just proves that small market teams cant keep their superstars....... :wink:

^^ Yeah I hear you. We need to get another star around Q-Rich and start to build around him so he doesn't leave. He has the "intangibles" needed to win a championship.

If we build up trade assets for a couple years, we can maybe spin for Shelvin Mack? Q will be entering his prime by then too. Dynasty!
