OKC Trades Nick Collison to Orlando 4 Keith Bogans and Brian Cook

Why For OKC: To get rid of one of there largers contracts for even more cap space ... Saves them 8 Million dollars in the next 3 years...

Why for ORL: Orlando is making a playoff push and needs a solid Big. are willing to part with Cash and a future 2nd round pick

Not enough

yeah, doesn't really do much for me. Collison has been playing well lately, and I don't really think the Thunder are looking to get under the cap via a firesale like the Knicks may be. I think the flexibility is good, but ultimately they're trying to build via the draft and player development.

Well How about JJ Redick , Brian Cook, and a 2nd round pick 4 Collison ???

Reddick is a bit more interesting to me. But unless it has to do with Watson or Wilcox, I'd rather we just take a wait and see approach into the offseason. We need to see how the draft pans out and what kinds of players are available in FA/trades before trading a guy who potentially could be a piece of this team down the road.

Wilcox or Smith for Cook, Reddick and a future #1 in any year as long as it falls between #10 pick to #15

maybe

I think asking for a #1 is a little overboard... I don't know if there's a team that would give us a mid-round #1 for either of those guys alone. Maybe I'm underestimating them? Not sure..

If they want collison ... they better think about it

Yeah, with Collison I think that becomes an option... but with Wilcox and Smith both having probably lower value and being expiring, I don't think many teams would be willing to float a 1st for that.

why... . already have 3 first

your pick might as well be a 2nd

NO

who else gets tired of Orlando fans

No reason to hate on the Orlando fans... they're just trying to discuss potential deals. It's not like he's saying we should trade Durant for Cook.

leo, I just don't think we're probably interested. Now, if we could get potential future assets for Wilcox or Watson, Thunder fans may be a little more receptive. Especially with the current "run" of wins we've gone on (I know, not much by Magic's standards, but a heck of a lot better than what we dealt with for the first 30 games of the season).

Personally, right now, I see Collison as a very valuable backup PF/C for us down the road (when we're hopefully a good team in a couple of years). I would like to keep him around, and a late 1st and a couple of everyday bench players probably won't change my mind

No .. Orlando wants us to be their farm team

Not happening

And some msg board postings on RealGM are going to make that happen??

Gotta have more confidence in Presti than that....

In Sam I Trust

But there are idiots out there Like Ditka trading and entire draft for MaryJane R Williams

Lee would fit nice in that vacant position either as starter or as future 6th man

I think GSW would give S Jackson for Collison...though maybe it has to include Marcus Williams and Dez Mason, expirings to balance the cap. OKC gets a scoring SG who's als good on D. GSW gets a guy who rebounds. Not sure if OKC wants to re-up Wilcox.

There's only one player (in a trade that would make sense) on the Magic I'd want and that's Courtney Lee. I think Seattle would've drafted him if Orlando didn't snatch him at 22.
