Im actaully fine with them getting hedo,arenas and rich granted they find an upgrade over bass at PF before the deadline. Tho I dont see the point for phoenix beside shedding salary. I thought they would at least get yi, Gortat is basicaly robin lopez insurance.

One thing about each of those three that the magic are getting, they all have showed up in the playoffs. I can't say the same for lewis, carter or even gortat.

Guess Denver told Orlando to not bother asking about Anthony. If they didn't' I don't think they would make these 2 deals.

LOL trying to make yourself feel better about a horrible deal for the Magic. In 15 minutes a game Gortat is averaging 4 and 5 on 54% shooting and almost a block a game. And even if he is horrible, it's still much better to have him than Hedo.

If all of this is true, then Otis is truly a fool for thinking that replacing Lewis/Carter for Arenas/Hedo would get him over the Heat or the Celtics.

Fool, he should have signed Iverson for basically nothing and replace that midget Nelson with a bigger and defensive minded PG or just put Iverson at 1 and then trade for some defense or shooting at 2 like Stephen Jackson, JR Smith or something like that.

Iverson
S Jax
Carter
Lewis
Howard

that team would basically be unguardable. With bunch of outside shootings (in VC, Sjax, Lewis), a guy that can create for himself and go to the FT line at will and a best C in the league, that's way better then anything Magic have right now or will have in the near future.

Well now its between Chicago, Miami and Boston I guess, until Dwight gets the hell out of Orlando. Anyone think he'll end up in Chicago?

Kinda ironic when you look at the barrel of moves that are being reported at the moment, especially considered it's around their main options.

+1. This is turning into the Cleveland situation all over again. Their GM realizes that their complimentary players around Howard aren't good enough, and he's putting together these desperate moves for over the hill and past their prime players.

If the Suns/Magic deal goes through it will likely reignite speculation that Steve Nash could be traded.

Hedo is so freaking bad but I want to see how he does back on the Magic before I crucify him.

Gortat DID suck tohugh.

I think people should hold off on the 'LOLZ YOUR TEAM SUCKS NOW' because the trades arent official yeah and nobody has played games,

I could definitely see him going to Boston. Huge opportunity there with Rondo and the big 3 likely retired.

The question is, who trades for Nash? It obviously won't be Orlando. Most other borderline contenders are set at point guard.
