You do realize Wallace was traded to NJ by Portland for what turned out to be the #7 pick aka Lillard right?

NJ trade woulda still been worse. Lopez/Wallace/Humphries is garbage. This trade as reported is slightly less garbage.......but still garbage :lol:

We still don't have all the information for the trade obviously... sure I'm not too thrilled about the info I've read so far... but give it time to pan out and for more info to hopefully come out.

Btw I'm glad this Spec thread picked up steam... like clockwork.

If we traded for Pau Gasol we wouldn't be able to trade his ass anywhere else. He's a joke. If he has value, get another who wants him involved in this trade.

If this is a bluff by Hennigan, you got to give the man credit for show man ship.

Also if he backs out, I imagine the Sixers, Nuggets and Lakers will be FURIOUS.

Wow so we stalled this whole thing for a year to get a bull deal like this? Is this real? **** Henny. Just bull.

Glad you are at peace with it. The only bright spot in it for me is Harkless, who I think highly of.

I feel dumb... Pau is not even involved. I should've read before reading this thread.

i hate the proposed deal but at the end of the day it doesn't change the fact that i'm a magic fan....always was and always will be.....this is a little tough to swallow though.....I hope we're getting rid of more than just J-Rich....Turk has to be on his way out for me to feel a little better....Duhon too....

No... It just sucks. Why resign Jameer? Why take back 32 year old Harrington and his contract? We get to keep Hedo too? And to top it off we get a few picks from teams that will finish top 4 in their conference? Gee, this deal is swell for us... :roll:

Just root for the lakers. Not because they just got Dwight but because their organization knows how to build a contender while the magic continually lose every trade they make.... Even when they trade the second best player in the league, they come in last out of the four teams involved in the trade.

Sorry its all big market and leverage by the all stars. No magical thing that makes Lal the best.

Still waiting for the full deal to leak. Again 4 team blockbuster and ESPN doesn't know all the players involved?

arkknight1988 · Post #638 » by **arkknight1988** » Fri Aug 10, 2012 2:52 am

Harkless-lottery talent. great asset
Afflalo-defense defense defense. will be good for years.
Vucevic-7 footer. Good asset
Harrington-expiring deal.
jrich-GTFO
3 first round picks

this deal>>>>>>>>>>>>>nets deal. possibly more pieces?

Depends if you wanted to be mediocre for the next decade or do a full re-build.

I actually like this deal except for one thing. Turkey glue is still on this team. Other than that, i like this team.
