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.


so we basically go from being to small to huge i like it though we would dominate

I'm still leary of Hedo at the 2 - that is if SVG is preaching defense. Not that Turk isn't decent defender, but he'll be 6'10 SF guarding 6'5 SGs that should be able drive on him.

But he's having a career season.

The thing is he has been right about many trades in the past, including the Marion to Heat for Shaq trade that every one claimed was bogus. My source is legit. That doesn't mean the deal couldn't break down and not happen.

thats exactly what i was thinking but i guess he can be rotated to the three if shard has an off night and we are still solid at the two with mo and garcia, but i still dont understand why we cant gett jj out to help this deal go down cause hes just sinking further in the bench with this trade

Yeah, I have no problem with Hedo being our sixth man with our bench as weak as it is. The thought of Hedo guarding Dwyane Wade or Rip Hamilton or Michael Redd scares me.

Another update - Garcia is actually the reason Otis is even thinking about doing this deal. He isn't too fond of Miller's contract so Garcia was thrown in to sweeten the deal. If Otis and Devos pass on this, they can both kiss my ass. This would improve the team a ton, luxury tax be damned.

I say go for it. Miller has been playing well. He is healthy. He is versatile. Can score, rebound, pass, shoot. Not the greatest defender but we are not really asking for alot here considering we are giving up mostly crap. Go for it.

Yeah this is a valid concern... but having Dwight behind him might help when he is burnt. On offense the Magic would be a nightmare...

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.

Is this the thread you're using for updates?

If it is, no offense, but your last couple updates have been taking a line from this guy and MCing it a bit.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

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....

My source tells me this trade has a very low possibility of actually happening.
