An inefficient dynamic scorer who can blow up for 40 pts on any given night...Hell yeah that makes us better especially if it keeps Howard in Orlando...I dont understand why everyone is so enamoured with efficiency.

That offer is pretty bad. Why are we trying to force Turk on them? Trying to do that will get us nowhere.

Actually, GS may very well have D12 on Thurs.... Monta/Lee may be the best package we can get if he doesn't commit.


Monte, Lee and maybe Kaman in a three way trade including Howard, Turkoglu ?

I love how in about two pages we were excited about talks heating up to getting Ellis from ESPN basically shutting the rumor down in a matter of minutes. I must tell you, being a Magic fan is most certainly a daredevil roller coaster experience on so many levels... :lol:

Yeah, if it's salary they're worried about then why don't we give them Meer and Duhon? that matches Turks salary, but, Meer's contract is up next year and he's cheaper, and Duhon is only getting what? 3mil?

I'm convinced people go temporarily insane as the trade deadline approaches

I'm down with that. How about something like:

ESPN probably knows about as much as we do.

Also I find it hard to believe that the Warriors only get Kaman and Hedo. They would have to get more if this deal is to get the go ahead. And who knows. The Bucks may enter the deal as well.

Right because Meer is SVGs sweetheart.

I find it more interesting watching this clown try to function at life than the actual possability of the trade. I dont think there is anyone more clueless about basketball than this idiot.
