Don't even deal him to Bos. They have nothing to offer us, that beats a Minny (pick & player) offer or maybe Seattle (Evans)

I'm sure picks would have to be included somewhere, but what do you think about that trade? Harkless might need to go to Memphis as well. We get a go to scorer, as well as a young big who is already a good shot blocker. Barbara would become our starting two splitting time with Jones and Moore.

Memphis saves ~4 million after already saving 4 million in the Cleveland trade. They also get Terry who can do what mayo was doing for them before. He also adds more scoring. Afflalo gives them another defender to go with Allen and someone else who can score.

Boston gets their shooter to play the Ray Allen role, while getting out of Terry's contract. They would also probably be getting a conditional pick somewhere down the line.

Not a fan of gay... we'll be better short-term, but that's it. I don't see how that's better for us long-term unless somehow we land a superstar or something.

I looked around, and didn't see it mentioned, but 10 NBA scouts were in attendance to watch Redick last night.

I don't understand trading for someone whose ceiling is probably no better than whoever your trading. People just assume since a player is young that they will become superstars.

Yeh. You trade those three and the Magic may not make it back to the playoffs until after they all retire.

There's no way we trade all three. Someone has to be the bridge from the rebuilding team to the winning team.

And, ibtl.

Melo isn't the guy to try and get from Boston. If we trade with Boston we need to gun for Sullinger. The kids been pretty good all year.

Nyce_1 · Post #1497 » by **Nyce_1** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 9:44 pm

The thing about Melo & Sully, if Henny wanted them, I think he would've drafted them instead of Nicholson. We were in the position to do so and he elected to skip them. Therefore, I don't think there's any interest in either of them.

my $.02.
