Kings and Magic talking about trade.

[magicfan4life05]

all im saying is if garcia comes here, hes averaging 15 ppg EASILY

[Idunkonyou2]

Am i the only one who's suspect of this deal happening? I mean it really doesn't make sense. Wouldn't they (Kings) be more inclined to trade Salmons before Garcia?

The Kings did just trade Bibby away for pretty much nothing in return except for expirings. It is pretty obvious what they are doing. Miller has a pretty big contract over the next 2 years so they are trying to get that off the roster pronto.

Nelson/Dooling
Garcia/Evans
Shard/Hedo
Brad/Battie/Cook
Dwight/Foyle/Brad

This is form EBSports.com from the dude who called the Marion trade before it happened:

They're talking pretty heavy.

Orlando isn't a big fan of Brad or Kenny's deal...Otis isn't really trying to take a big deal in return, which is why Kurt works best...as he expires.

That said...Seattle has no reason to make that move without getting something of value in return, and what they want, Otis doesn't feel Thomas is worth.

what a balanced lineup that would be... so much for us not having the elite sixth man if this goes through

Perhaps to sweeten the pot? They apparently want to get rid of Miller's contract. We wouldn't need to get Salmons because we've got 92 SGs already

But I'm alway suspect of "sources" on the interweb.

This year, but he's not played a full season his entire career. The closest was 2 seasons ago with 79. Last season he missed 9 games (~10% of the season) and scored only 9 per game.

I've always thought he'd a good fit. And as I said, playing next to Dwight would help him tremendously.

agreed

So it shouldnt cost us a pick either, thats a gross contract for a team trying to play the market.

[orlando1214]

So lets say this deal happens how would our line up look.

C. Miller / Foyle
PF. Howard / Cook / Augustine
Sf. Rashard / Garcia
Sg. Turk / Evans/ J.J
Pg. Nelson / Dooling


Or Howard at center and Miller at PF? Looks like a very good team, IMO. It looks like J.J. will still be the odd guard out.

True.

Another update I just read is the Thomas deal is there and it is up to Otis to take, but he is trying to get the Kings deal done which is better. We may know for sure what is going to happen tonight if our players aren't playing.

[MagicFan149]

we go from having a very unbalanced lineup to being a serious contender to boston and detriot... we will know tonight because the players in this wont suit up

[EasternMagic]

miller would be starting pf and hedo would probabl come off the bench for shard at sf. then evans would start at sg

That would be a sick lineup. Garcia strengthens the bench and Miller finally gives us a good big man who can shoot, rebound and pass beside Howard. The Magic would be contenders if this trade goes down IMO.

If this roster is not a contender I don't know which is???

But maybe we should not get too excited before we see any kind of confirmation....

[Idunkonyou2]

Garcia would start over Evans. He is a much better player. IMO if the deal goes down Stan will go with a Nelson, Hedo, Lewis, Howard, Miller lineup.

you cant get hyped by a post that starts with " Hopefully my source is right "
