Official Speculation Thread (Pt. XXVIII: Offseason Edition)

[MagicTownBaller]

Im not going to be around my laptop during the draft, so can SOMEBODY please create the next thread(part 29).

Or maybe I can create part 29 before I leave(probably around 515pm EST), possibly cutting part 28 a little short. I can make part 29 the Official Speculation Thread: 2012 Draft Edition

Is that cool with you DJ?

Let me know guys.
Thank You.

If you really need someone, I can do it. I just need to know how many posts in should I create it. Since I'm using Tapatalk, I'm not sure when the thread is going to close.

Mann I dont know what to believe at this point.

Blair = BBD

I disagree. Big Baby is a better impact player than Dejuan and has a better understanding on the defensive end than Blair will ever have. If Blair is not scoring or being involved on offense, then his energy and effort takes a nosedive. There is a reason why he fell off the rotation for the Spurs and Bonner was playing over him.

Honestly he is just as bad as Ryan Anderson is on defense.

They get off the ground about the same though

That's what I meant, both 6'8-6'9 250 lb PFs. No doubt Baby is the better player.

I may be wrong here but doesn't Jameer have to opt-in before he can be traded?

That's what I thought as well...

Or he can opt-out and then Magic SnT him to another team.

I'm not sure what 99 pages is equivalent to on tapatalk. I think I'm going to just go ahead and just create it myself around 5pm. Thanks for volunteering and I'll let you know if you I change my mind.

Trade Bait lol

[ADRajX]

My draft prediction: we trade the 19th.

I don't think we'll keep it. I think we try to package it with Duhon, J-Rich, or Hedo to shed salary. OKC wasn't impressed by anything in the draft at their pick in the late first round and were thinking about moving it. Rob ran their scouting and I wonder if he's not impressed by anything at 19 either. He fired everyone who worked on our draft process for the past month, eliminating their research altogether. I think Rob is going try to move this pick either to land a veteran player to build the team with or to just shed salary.

ditto

Good luck to us. I'm hoping for a S&T where we don't take on any bad contracts.

[JBR152]

But if Nelson isn't going to opt out, wouldn't we just keep him, opposed to trading him?

Yes, unless we can get something more useful.

Wroten is a bigger rondo. He needs to learn not to shoot if that makes sense. Once he does that, he can be a star. IMO the pg's in this draft rank as follows:

1. Rivers
2. Lillard
3. Wroten
4. Taylor
5. Marshall
6. Teague

That's right now, obviously as their careers unfold, I can see Teague moving up, wroten moving down, etc.

Theres no way that Rivers is a PG

Lol ok bro. Talk to me in three years when he is a top 5 pg in the league

@OMagicDaily @cpro28 Actually the Stepien Rule only applies to future picks, not past. You can trade 2012 pick away as long as ORL has 2013.

So we can trade our pick away?

[BadMofoPimp]

In 5 years, Rivers will be a SG in this league. He reminds me too much of Jamal Crawford in the NBA. A scorer that wants to be a PG that can score, but is a poor defender and can't win a starting position.
