Official Speculation Thread (Pt. XLIV Off-Season Edition)

[MagicStarwipe]

I don't see what makes this so much different than the Houston deal (which apprently never quite as lucrative as we liked to fantasize).

Instead of rookies, we get them in the form of draft picks. We get Harkless, who most of us liked leading up to the draft. Vujevic was promising in spurts last year. Afflalo is a good player. We dump J-rich.

This is far and away better than letting him walk. Far and away better than trading for veterans and being mediocre.

It's not our dream deal, certainly, but I think the level of freak out in here is unwarranted.

All true. But it's the Magic board.

People step back from the ledge. We are very flexable for the next couple years and for once every single asset on the team is tradable. We have 4 young (cheap) bigs, dump J.Rich, get more athletic at SG/SF.

Jammer Nelson, Turkoglu, Duhon,Harrigton are so tradeable.

Turk, Duhon, and Harrington are not guarenteed past this year. Nelson will be movable. Not saying they are the best assets, but every single piece can be moved now. We have no idea what offers we had.

turk has $6mil in his contract, harrington has $4mil in his contract, duhon has $1.5mil in his contract. they are not free expirings

This deal is horrible. If this goes through as reported, I cannot see myself investing in this team anymore.

Boohoo dude. You're either a Magic fan or you're not.

[LongLiveHinkie]

You guys should be mad at Dwight for being a dbag, not your GM. He basically handcuffed your team by playing dictator with the trade market and leaving the Magic essentially limited in who wants to take him on.

[MagicMan89]

All the people that want to bail, we will see you later. I trust the people making our draft picks and will still be here when you all return in 2 years.

[magicike]

anyone find it strange that espn is the only media reporting this?

I actually get Breaking News emails from FoxSports and they are reporting it on there and on their website now.

Exactly they are not guaranteed so if we want them to go away we will either have to pay them or probably absorb more salary in a trade.They are negative assets.

So what if Harkless turns into the next Tracy Mcgrady but without the injuries. Affalo becomes the next Pippen and Andrew Nicholson turns into Kevin Garnett. Vucivec turns into Arvydas Sabonis and we draft a Russell Westbrook to replace Jameer.

On the flip side Bynum leaves Philly for Dallas in the offseason. Dwight re-injures his back and never comes back to full form. Do we win the trade then?

[fbeye343]

Thank God for Berger!

[InFlames]

A young player with upside is not Affallo, Harkless or ****. A young player with upside is Favors, Gallo, Eric Gordon. Stop fooling yourselves.

How the hell can you possibly say Harkless is not a young player with upside?

[Nolimit1211]

Catch ya on the Lakers board suckas.

PS, Hennigans moves thus far would make Otis Smith proud.

Bullsh** . I will not spend another penny either. You sound like a lemming.

You had me at Arvydas Sabonis.

[CaliMagicGuy]

god forbid some of us magic fans are upset and mention it on a magic message board. if you're happy about the trade thats awesome for you, but no need to jab at the people who don't like it.

[SOUL]

Cyaaaa

Thank You

CP3 and Melo asked to go to teams with assets that worked. Dwight **** us by asking to go to 2 teams with Nothing we could take on and feel good about it.

[GameOver25]

All I gotta say is I'll be a Magic fan through the good times and bad times. Thank you.
