Last we heard our serious talks were with Houston. My guess is they 'put out' and we accepted. Could be totally wrong though.

HOUSTON!!!!

I have my orientation for my new job and it starts at 730... Why are you doing this to me Orlando, why?

They should post a picture of the team we traded with on the big screen on amway so that I can see it while I'm getting off at Anderson...

10 years at best unless you get lucky Like OKC but that wont happen.

As opposed to a trade for Bynum and cap relief which would set us up to compete in a year or 2.
You MUST have a superstar to attract additional stars in today's NBA.

I wish you guys who were harping for draft picks would study theACTUAL probability rates of these picks actually panning out rather than using the miraculous and lucky Thunder as an example.

Just like the Bobcats tried this year.

Good thing I don't start actual work until Tuesday.. Hopefully this will all be over by then

Tayswagzzz wrote:Well, I hope we trade with Houston then. I feel like if we get Bynum we'll get stuck in the same rut we are in now eventually. OKC built young and all their players want to stay and play with each other. Growing up in the NBA is a bonding experience for teammates. I think Houston is the best way to go.

Bynum is 24.
If the Magic can also unload a contract or two they can have Bynum and cap space for an additional top talent

And then...
Wait for it...

Great role players start signing here on the cheap.

Its not that big of a crap shoot when you have very good scouting and management that believes in building through the draft. Look at the two organizations that Henny has been with and tell me how they got to where they are now.

Tayswagzzz · Post #377 » by **Tayswagzzz** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 6:42 am

If Hennigan does this right, I will be shocked. Been so long since we've seen a good GM.

Top 3 next year
Top 2 the year after
1 the year after that
Then no protection.

Or very close to that.

Best case scenario is Orlando wins the lotto and Toronto gets the #4 pick, thus having to send it to Orlando who then has 1 and 4. That is your Noel and Shabazz right there

This board is starting to get delusional.

Kmart
Lamb
Jones
White
Tor pick
Future picks

which was their offer on trade day, except you replace toronto pick with Lowry

No.
Most of us in the Bynum camp just go to bed earlier.
