Just the tip. RT @RicBucher: Source say Cavs position hasn't changed: not all the way in, not all the way out.

Can the Magic get a better player than Brooks with the Clippers 25th 1st round pick (around 25th)? This is not me giving my opinion, just posing the question.

Yeah I don't understand the KH hate? The guy put up a double/double last season. If anything he deserves a good contract.

Lopez on the other hand.

If only we needed a PF. That is the one position we are stacked at so taking on KH makes no sense.

so they trade 3 lottery pick for a player they dont even want? lol

augustine and bismack was both recent lotter ypicks by them and the 2014 pick is likely to be in lottery as well

At this point, we need to keep Howard. Rob start shedding salary, get us cap space. IE J Rich, Q Rich and Harper to Minny for Brad Miller and Luke Ridnour. We need to be players in '13 FA.

Why do people post what Jarrod Rudolph is babbling about? Might as well post what Ping is saying as well. Same level of credibility.

Laugh at PER all you want but if you rank all the players in the NBA by that stat it more or less tells you who the co-census best players in the NBA are.

TS% is still TS%

And if you want to look at general stats...he's 30th among all SG's in PPG and 25th in FG%.

The guy can't shoot, can't drive and can't defend. He's essentially useless without the ball.

Seriously where do you think he ranks among the shooting guard hierarchy in the league? IMO there's 20 I would rather have then him.

If you were Bynum, wouldn't you wait too?

Meanwhile CP3 is waiting and nobody is making a fuss about it. Any star would wait unless they're too worried about injury. If Bynum doesn't want to extend, he must be really confident that his knees will hold up next season.

Deron just did the same thing and stayed with the Nets. Happens all the time.

Henny can't solve ALL of the Magic's problems with one trade. Won't happen. That's youthful foolishness. The simplest solution is almost always the best solution in life...

Howard for Bynum
Do your damn best to unload a bad contract in the deal.
Period.

No one is talking about CP3 because he was a healthy Billups away from possibly getting to the WCFs. Also his superstar PF just resigned for 95 million. CP3 is in the 2nd biggest market in the league and has a great team around him. Does any one honestly believe he will leave?

Every one was talking about Williams because he had ties in Dallas and the Nets suck.

This isn't rocket science.

George Diaz on ESPN right now. Called Dwight a liar and hypocrite.

The reality is, Asik really is a power forward he just plays center sometimes for the Bulls. He's more suited for the 4 spot as an energy player off of the bench.

Orlando Tragic · Post #896 » by **Orlando Tragic** » Tue Jul 10, 2012 7:09 pm

Yahoo Sports:
The Magic received medical reports on Lopez on Tuesday morning, and league sources said Orlando officials have concerns about committing four years of near-maximum contract money considering that he broke his foot twice last season and only appeared in five games.

Well....he is. Williams said himself that Howard and him have been planning this since 2008. This is why if I'm Rob, I don't send him to the Nets, even if he walks. It is time to put these players in their place.

#Magic GM Rob Hennigan and his 2 assistant GMs are not at their courtside seats for Orlando's exhibition vs. the #Pistons.

They got swept. What part of Billups's corpse was going to help them stop the Spurs?
