Official Speculation Thread (Pt. XXX: Offseason Edition)

[The Effect]

If they're keeping Iggy if they get Howard, then give us: JRue, Turner, and Young for Dwight.

Take out young and give us the 2 rookies instead, also not sure i would want Jrue after he said hes looking for a max deal

[EasternMagic]

If we are trading with Philly...

Howard/(a resigned) Nelson/JRIch

for

Iggy/Dru/Lou/Thad

If they trade for Dwight, they're keeping Iggy.

According to 6'ers fans they'd do Holiday, Turner, Brand for Dwight & JRich

I'd take that.. I love Holiday's potential with the right system. Turner is a beast he showed it in the playoffs, and Brand has a big expiring.

Probasketballdraft ‏@Probballdraft
Keep hearing the Dwight Howard sweepstakes has wider net than many realize. One team to watch in particular is LA. Clippers are a darkhorse.

How credible is probballdraft? I see they have a bunch of followers, but their site is ranked worse than my 10 year old cousin's blog...

outside of turner, philly has nothing id want... holiday is overrated and apparently thinks very highly of himself... and turner by himself is not worth dwight howard lol

Make them include Thadeus Young too and we have a deal.

[The Effect]

if it's a multiple team deal, obviously two teams would be orlando and philly... maybe brooklyn is the third since king has ties to philly and thorn has ties to the nets. idk how that would work out or who would go where, but just a guess

MY sources say we would get iggy, lopez, brooks, evan turner, the 76ers 2 rookies, the nets get dwight and the 76ers get screwed

[mhi]

You know Houston is gonna get a cut, they always do.

[Blue_and_Whte]

That would make us.....the sixers.....and puts us in no man's land again. Not Good enough to contend not bad enough to get a high pick.

or something like

Evan Turner, Jrue Holiday, Lou Williams (S/T), BKN 2016 #1 Pick ---> Orlando
Ryan Anderson (S/T) MarShon Brooks, HOU 2013 #1 Pick (from BKN), BKN 2014 #1 Pick ---> Philadelphia
Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkoglu ---> Brooklyn

Don't see it happening though. At all.

[woosah]

I wouldn't take that 6'ers deal, especially now that Jrue has said he wants the max. Brand's expiring does the same thing Dwight's does and so how is that helping us rebuild to end up with Jrue and Turner? Meh..gimme youngins on good contracts or gimme picks or gimme a star.

It would be bailing them out as they have already said they are up to trading Iggy and they have to see if they will resign Jrue. Now with dealing with us, then all of a sudden no Iggy? naw.

[Cigamodnalro]

Holiday also apparently wants a MAX deal as a FA....

[ThatFloridaDude]

WOW@ the posts on this forum. Some of you...just.......damn.


From the Presser:

1. Hennigan is a G. He keeps information to himself and is respectful while not dishing anything to the Media.
2.Jameer returning is completely up to him.
3.JJ Reddick staying is preferred. But they are not afraid to trade him.
4. The Draftees are excited to be here.
5. Rob is willing to do ANYTHING to make this team a great team.
6. Our press sucks ass.

[gomagic77]

First trade is 3 teams 13 player trade

Rockets Get:
Howard
Richardson
Duhon

Rockets Trade:
Lamb
Motiejues
Lowry
Patterson
Martin
Livingston

Starting Line-up
Howard
Scola
Parsons
Richardson
Dragic

Why?
Cause the Rockets will still be loading with talent, I think giving up Lamb will be the hardest part for them in this deal but will finally budge when more teams join the sweepstakes after the Nets trade for Joe Johnson and end any chance Dwight has of going there.

Timberwolves Get:
Martin
Big Baby

Timerwolves Trade:
D.Williams
B.Miller
Webster

Startin Lineup:
Pecovic
Love
Johnson/Budinger (maybe Batum)
Martin
Rubio

Why for the Wolves?
Cause adding Martin and Batum makes this team a legit playoff team, losing Williams would be tough on potential alone but makes him expendable if they add Batum.

Magic Get:
Lamb
Montijues
Lowry
Patterson
Livingston
Webster
Williams
Miller

Magic Trade:
Howard
Richardson
Duhon
Big Baby

Why for the Magic?
I will get to their starting lineup in a min but for obvious reasons the Magic make this trade, they get 5 guys with major potiental, expiring contracts and unload there longer contracts.

SECOND TRADE ORL AND SAC

Kings get:
R.Anderson (s&t)
Redick
Future 2nd Rd pick

Kings trade:
Jason Thompson (s&t)
T.Evans

Kings Starting Lineup
Cousins
Robinson
R.Anderson
Thorton
??

Why for the Kings?
Cause Ryan Anderson would be a perfect complement to TRob and Cousins, the Kings would still need a PG but there a ton of Mid level pg's available (Nelson, Felton, Hirich, Lin....ext) Evans is not a PG and does not seem to fit with Thorton on the roster. Redick would be perfect fit with all the low post scores ala Jimmer.

Magic Get:
Thompson
Evans

Magic Trade:
Anderson
Redick

Magic Starting Lineup
Thompson
Montiejues
Williams/Turk
Evans
Lowry

Why for the Magic?
This is a way to start over with a ton of youth, future cap space and a chance to still make the playoffs.

Just say no to Blake Griffen.

The most overrated player in the NBA.

[ThatFloridaDude]

So Ping is saying a multi-team trade involving Philly? Man I'd love to get Thadeus Young and Lou Williams I LOVE those guys. That'd be a nice way to start the rebuilding process.

HAhaha me too. I love those guys man! I always play with them on NBA2k. Philly is my favorite team next to Orlando! Their run and gun high flying nature and tenacious defense is what Orlando has always lacked.

[BadMofoPimp]

Just say no to Blake Griffen.

The most marketable player in the NBA.

Fixed

[ThatFloridaDude]

Just say no to Blake Griffen.

The most overrated player in the NBA.

Carmelo Anthony is the most overrated player in the NBA.

[TDJacksonville]

i think a trade with the 76ers and nets would be more like this.

Magic get: Moultrie, Harkless, Nets 1st, rockets 1st, Brooks.

76ers get: Jason Richardson, Morrow, Rhyno, BBD

nets get: Dwight, Iggy, Duhon, Q richardson.

dont ask if that works cap wise but it looks nice especially for us. we get 3 younger players and 2 1st round picks.

[Def Swami]

Blake may be overrated but he's still possibly the best return we could get.
