that's very likely. or, if the Magic think Anderson will be much more ineffective without Dwight and won't justify the contract he'll command this summer.

i agree completely that a deal for Nash involves Anderson. but, if we're lucky, they might send Frye back in return.

lol, btw, i'm not stalking you, you're just talkin about the interesting stuff.


this would be the reason why we make the trade.

Personally, I don't think Ryno will command a huge contract. He knows his limitations and says all the time that he gets his opportunities because of Dwight. He should accept less to stay here. I am not worried about him and his $5 mil contract he will get.

welcome everybody,
I`ve been a Magic fan since Shaq and Penny, and have been looking through this forum for a long time. There are many Magic fans in Poland, and some of us watch every single game, despite its 1-2 a.m.
I read an interviev with Marcin in a polish media some time ago, he said he speaks with Dwight few times a week. He nows 12 plans, and one of the teams that were mantion in press, is where he wants to play. Gortat also said one more thing - Dwight is unpredictable.
sorry for my english

I'm not Polish, but I sure as hell miss the Polish Hammer! I think Dwight is gone. Too much negative comments from our front office (Otis) make me believe that they have lost hope in salvaging the relationship with Dwight and they know they'll trade him after the Allstar game.

Thanks for the info rafal

Double-post: Why can't Deron's dumbass just once, just ONCE, mention the Magic in one of these pointless interviews? Just. Freaking. ONCE.

It's really killing me that we're one of the top teams in the NBA, and it's still a good chance Dwight is getting traded/leaving. **** Addidas

I think we could get Nash if Anderson or Redick are in the deal, but if u get him u NEED shooters. but we also know Nash can elevate the play of Jason Richardson

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

Dwight has to say that after he annihilates the best player in the best trade we have on the table. Killing fans in Orlando.

Wasn't is something like Dwight had 39 20/20 games in the last 5 years and Bynum has 1? I saw the graphic on ESPN before the game.

Can we still use the MLE?
Anyone think JR Smith is an option? we need athleticism on the wings, and a 1 on 1 scorer. he has unlimited range if we have to trade JJ, or w/e JR would be a logical addition?

I know the 1st trade isn't the best the Suns can potentially get for Nash, but maybe you never know. Duhon gives them a back-up to Ronnie Price, Redick is already proven he can be a starter at the 2-guard, and Orton helps buffer their front court.

The 2nd trade was using the TPE formed after the Bass trade and absorbing Robin Lopez' contract.

We get Nash (who replaces Meer in the SL and Meer can come off the bench as our 6th man) and we get a back-up center for Dwight.

J-Rich needs to kick rocks.....Too inconsistent and virtually brings nothing to the table that Redick can't emulate

I'd be fine with a J-Rich/Wafer rotation at the 2. if we were going to trade J-Rich as well, then yes i'd definitely sign him.
