hes not ideal and he can easily be taken out of the game because of his limitations, we need a legit 2nd option, but since we have the same team its gonna be whoever has the hot hand that night

If deal consummated, Nuggets add needed depth on wing w/Wilson Chandler and JR Smith in China and Mavs create more flex for summer of 2012

Kind of interesting, If JRich thinks there is only a SLIM chance of Dwight staying why would he want to stick around? He's going to want to win.

That and not to mention the pay cut he took, I think it was like 50-60% of what he made before. Even if Dwight were to leave though maybe he just likes the organization and knows we would get talent back for Dwight to still compete, IF we were to lose him, I am pretty optimistic since yesterday and the meeting Dwight and Alex Martins and Otis Smith, they seem to be willing to listen to him, you could tell when they wanted Billups yesterday, and you can bet Dwight requested it.

I wonder if he's mad about us not getting Billups?

Especially for such a small contract. 6mil a year?

I think it's because what else can be said? It sounds like they tried resolving everything yesterday and are making progress, and there is no need to just keep saying whats been said over and over.

giving jameer the green light to be the #2 scorer and attempt 16-20 shots a game would be instant fail...jameer and the team is best when jameer is being aggressive and getting into the paint, but he cannot and will not be a reliable #2 scorer, problem is nobody else on the team can be either..since we lack a true 2nd option we need to feed dwight and keep the ball moving, jameer dominating the ball doesn't work

What evidence do you have of that? Or is it more along the lines you dont want him to be a reliable #2 scorer. If Devin Harris can be a #2 scorer so can Jameer..easily. He's always been reliable in the clutch in his overall career here. So if your basing it on a handlfull of games then I understand because thats how this board is.
Magic lose 1 game: "Trades..WE NEED TRADES!!" Otis makes a trade "Why would Otis make THAT trade?!?! DAMN YOU JAMEER!!"

....I've always agreed with Ben on this one. I think our offense needs to be consolidated and it seems like Jameer could be be the most effective option for us behind Dwight.

he was kept off limits bc the Magic wanted a drama free day. Wanted to allow him some freedom from the media, which is good. Reports are that he was very engaged in practice. I love what I'm hearing about Big Baby. Coming in on his first day and acting as a leader.

who was offering him more than that anyway?

He is ideal and you hate that. Again you have not statistical evidence to prove anything you say except for your biased, hatred. I know, I hate big baby the same way.

I'm not saying he didn't talk to the media because of Billups. i was just wondering if he was bothered by it. not that the Magic could have done anything about it anyway.

Cavs still undecided on whether to amnesty @Baron_Davis. Must decide by Friday.

Seems like an easy decision to me. if i'm a rebuilding team and i have a rookie PG like Kyrie i would've amnestied him a while ago.

hatred because i said jameer is not a legit 2nd option? get off his nuts, hes not a reliable 2nd option...anytime someone makes a comment about jameer you come running in with candy in hand..did i say jameer sucks? did i say i hate jameer? i said you cant give him 20 shots a game, the team will not succeed that way..hes a fine 3rd option and a great 4th option, do you not agree? chime in instead of going crazy about nothing

I'm sure he was bothered by it. But we were over the cap, we couldn't bid on him. I know he's gotta understand that.

On another note, I am happy that Davis is becoming a great addition to the team! Can't wait to see him play.

I honestly thought he was going to accept that. he would've made that team a little more dangerous than they already are.
