My father is a senior editor for The Orlando Sentinel, with majority of his insight being linked to the Orlando Magic. For privacy reasons, I cannot say his name (im sure you understand). Anyways, I overheard him on the phone last night with Orlando Magic PR(Public Relations) for a good 25 minutes, and from what he is being told- The Magic are discussing a trade with the following proposals:
Suns Get:
F Hedo Turkoglu
*Future 2nd round Pick w/cash from NY
*Conditional future 1st round pick from ORL
Knicks Get:
F Tony Battie
F Boris Diaw
*Rights to Fran Vasquez from Orlando
Magic Get:
G Leandro Barbosa
F David Lee
Im assuming this situation will find its way into public mainstream very shortly.
ORLANDO OUTLOOK ON TRADE:I think, BY FAR, Orlando is getting the better deal. We lose an aging Tony Battie, an average backup 2 quard in Keith Bogans, a player that never came over LOL, and sadly our Mr. Fourth Quarter.. Think about the gain though! Leandro Barbosa!!!WHAT!!! Hes probably the fastest PG in the league, and also has OK size at 6'3''. David Lee, nothing but a bright future in this league! Plays tough every night and is very VERY athletic for a big guy. Both players are young and havent truely tapped into their potential yet. It also solves our issues at PG and PF.
PHOENIX OUTLOOK ON TRADE: You lose the best backup PG in the league, but you get a 18-20ppg scorer a night in Hedo Turkoglu. Hedo is in his prime right now, and would fit very well into their run and gun style. Losing Diaw hurts, but with a team full of veterans, the suns compensate by getting cash and 2 good draft picks not including their own. That should be good enough to keep them young. Not as good of a deal as Orlando in my eyes, but better than NY.
NEW YORK OUTLOOK ON TRADE: Boris Diaw! Your basically trading Lee for Diaw, which is not soo bad in a sense. You lose a second round pick, BUT youll probably be in the lottery anyways so its no big deal. Tony Battie is brought to give the young guns that veteran leadership, and a hopefull chance of landing a player in Fran Vasquez who probably has a better chance of playing in a market like New York rather than Orlando. New York doesnt get better, but doesnt get worse.
Im excited to be the first to reveal this to you all, and i promise to keep everyone updated! Lets discuss

Some how Bogans got into this trade not mentioned until further explanation???
Like I have said most likely someone trying to make a name on the O-Zone, but who knows just thought y'all might want to hear this one. If it's true it sounds really nice.
