Looks like a Beasley jrich trade works straight up. Gives me the impression they're going to cave and trade Dwight. Oh well maybe this will be heart and hustle part 2.

I despise Martin's game... all he does is shoot, drive/draw contact and get most of his scoring at the line... and he does it using the rip move and flopping... he doesn't create for others or play good defense... he's basically a couple years younger than J-Rich, and slightly less athletic... No thanks... he's almost 30.

I think J-Rich might have been traded to Minny... I mean, who would want J-Rich?

Minny, their GM was just on sports radio said they're looking for veteran leadership because they're the 2nd youngest team in the NBA.

Dwight is such a fraud.

This is on the RealGM wiretap, but it doesn't say who the Magic receive. I'm assuming any trade with Minnesota would involve Beasly.

Just asked Banu Turkoglu (his wife) if she was stressing out about possibly having to move again. She said yes. And can't wait until after 3pm on Thursday. Shes gotta have a pretty unique perspective on things....

I despire Martin's game... all he does is shoot, drive/draw contact and get most of his scoring at the line... and he does it using the rip move and flopping... he doesn't create for others or play good defense... he's basically a couple years younger than J-Rich, and slightly less athletic...

Not saying I want him...I definitely don't. Just noticed that he was not in the lineup tonight. But apparently he has a shoulder injury. Official word is "chuckers shoulder".

watching that halftime interview with Martins, definitely makes me feel like Dwight is gone by thursday. His last game in Orlando as a member of the Magic.

Yeah, I don't want him either. I think we've seen all he can be, and will only decline from here.

Yes the interview with Alex hints to me that they are sending him packing. Could be his last game with us.

FlopCity · Post #92 » by **FlopCity** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 12:26 am

Get Bynum and call it a day. So tired of all this. If Dwight didn't open his big ass mouth, maybe we could of had both Bynum and Gasol.

Bynum/Blake/Metta/both first round picks for Dwight/Turk

I'd assume more changing parts. Until the trade deadline passes, it's gonna be a fluid situation.

Yup, got the same feeling.

He stressed how they needed a commitment and mentioned last how they will do what's best for the franchise.

It's really tough...

New reports indicate Otis is making calls about a Dwight trade, but nothing imminent.

When is the last time a team won ANYTHING building through the draft?

Dallas.... Yeah they had dirk, but they traded for terry, chandler, Marion, Kidd, Stevenson
Lakers... Weren't sht until they stole gasol
Celtics... Weren't sht till they got kg and ray
Detroit... Got players from other teams and made them fit

Since the heat haven't won one yet I won't put them in there, but they got lebron and bosh from other teams, as well as shaq when they won one

The only team in the past 13 years that has won through the draft is San Antonio... And that's cause Robinson was hurt and they lucked out in drafting the perfect complement to him and the greatest of ever... They added pieces through the draft such as Parker and ginobili, but those were both very very late picks and they're good at drafting

Don't tell me okc either, cause they haven't won sht...

What we need to do is trade his ass to LA for a package centered around Bynum...

If we don't and we go the lotto way, I promise you, we will find ourselves in the same situation in 6 years... Once the rookie we draft becomes a star, they will already have been losing for a few years... They'll get tired of losing and bolt...
