I'd do that trade in a heartbeat.

That's a solid starting 5.

Hell I'd be happy if you yanked Dwight and threw in Thompson and Bradley Beal. Big time money the next year in free agency, plus a likely lotto pick. Sign me up

Lowry
Beal/CLee
T-Ross
Davis/Thompson
FA Center ?

Davis nor Thompson should start at center. They are better suited to the PF game, we will see..

That's a solid starting 5, especially if we take a pretty good SF.

TERRENCE ROSS, this guy can be had with the 19th, is athletic, can shoot the 3, hard worker.

Also has great length and is a great defender

He is a 2 though. I would rather bring in a bigger 3. You could go offense with Quincy Miller or defense with Moe Harless.

I would take Miller with that lineup since we could probably use some more scoring. Plus he has serious length & could develop in to a good defender.

I agree, rather go with Miller, Harkless or Jeff Taylor.

How about Terrence Jones ? Nbadraft.net has us taking him, but he could end up as a tweener in the NBA, which is never good

Alright i messed up the quotes, i think

Houston won't touch that. They like Courtney Lee more than Martin. They can get a whole lot more. Point guards are in high demands.

I would actually sign Gee to start at the 3 & draft either a backup pg or sf at 19.

Lowry
CLee
Gee
BBD
D12

Defensive minded lineup with ppl who can get to the rim & not settle for jumpers.

Yeah, I think Lowry ends up in LA. I can see HOU trading Lowry to LA and getting Gasol in return, while Kevin Martin is dealt to a 3rd team (Minny? Chicago?)

Unfortunately I think you are 100% right. Damn the Lakers straight to hell

If that happened, would that mean Sessions is available ?

I would assume so. I know Laker Nation wasn't pleased with Sessions play against Westbrook in the playoffs.

No, he'd move to the bench and they'd dump blake

I think Sessions would opt out and look for a starting position somewhere in the league.

trebone · Post #695 » by **trebone** » Sat May 26, 2012 6:42 pm

^ Sessions has a player option next year and would opt out and sign elsewhere

I like the idea of Gasol/Bynum for Dwight/Hedo/Duhon or Jrich

Then flip Gasol to Houston for Lowry/Martin/1st

Dump JRich for a future 2nd on Minny or Indy or ?

Resign Anderson to play next to Bynum whom IMO would be very close to what Dwight does and go with this lineup which would also include two middle 1sts to add wing talent and we still would have great capspace for next offseason.

Lowry/Jameer???/
Martin/JJ
Q/Clark/
Anderson/BBD
Bynum/BBD

The Effect · Post #696 » by **The Effect** » Sat May 26, 2012 8:28 pm

No idea why people here want bynum, hell id rather have BBD as our starting center than that piece of ****, especially when you consider the contract and injury history

I hope the magic just wait till the draft until any moves are made.

Truth24 · Post #698 » by **Truth24** » Sat May 26, 2012 9:02 pm

If it came down to a trade I really wouldn't mind if we did a Dwight for Tristan Thompson and all of their draft picks this year. We get get rid of Dwight and Hedo and get back a solid defensive young power forward in Thompson along with a lot of draft picks. We could then try and move J-Rich to a team that needs a two guard and we would be looking a lot better in terms of rebuilding. The cavs could land a top five pick which could mean someone like MKG, Harrison Barnes, Perry Jones, Bradley Beal, Andre Drummond, or Meyers Leonard. This would be the ideal scenario imo if we want to rebuild.

I just hope the Magic get a competent GM and Coach before the draft, so I actually have something to look forward to.

Seen on Twitter that Dwight is at his godsons birthday party at Chuck E Cheese in Orlando telling everybody not to take pics of him & he doesn't want the media to know he is back in Orlando.

What kind of sense does that make?
