pheonix just got an amazing deal. nash and vince in the same backcourt? wow. they finally have a legit c? nice. they GOT RID OF HEDO? insane.

[fallacy]

So the suns go from

Nash
Rich
Hill
Amar'e
Lopez

last year to

Nash
VC
Hill
Warrick
Lopez

That's a big drop in one year

[That Nicka]

Magic have to get rid of Nelson now imo....

[FaithPuppeteer]

Hopefully this improves the Magic as much as I'd like it too. Would MUCH rather see them in the finals than the Heat.

I heard those Celtics aren't that bad either.

I think it was worth a shot for Orlando to do these deals. They might as well try something to show Howard they are serious about winning. And if they eventually end up losing him anyway, they can at least look back and say they made a run at trying to win. Now the aftermath of him possibly leaving and the contracts on this roster is just something that they'll have to deal with down the road.

Orl just become legit.. again

[StrawberryShake]

if the rumors are true im happy for my fellow floridians (heat fan).
it sucks to see VC leave though, hes from the orlando area and i think he played best last year against the Celtics in the playoffs.
IMO what was wrong with that team was shard and nelson but w/e

[Wavy Q]

Why did the Suns do this trade exactly?

you must have watched that series blindfolded with no sound if you think that.

Hedo. Plus we can now stop playing Earl Barron 30 minutes a night at center lol

[sca]

Arenas, J-Rich and Nelson in the backcourt? To think that Hedo was complaining about not getting enough balls last year... and I'm not even mentioning Dwight. I feel this is not going to be pretty

[Wade2k6]

Why did the Suns do this trade exactly?

To get a quality backup center in exchange for getting rid of Turk's awful contract. They also got a 1st round pick and 3 million in return.

[Lamak]

Nelson/Arenas backcourt. Someone has to go.

[Wavy Q]

Gotcha, so the Magic are dumping all the chips in and hoping to win in the next year or two, because if they don't Dwight is almost assuredly gone.

[febah07]

i think orlando is better now

richardson is having a hell of a year. can shoot the 3 and is a good slasher....and most importandly he fits well with the magic

hedo played bad at phx but that was expected. no good can come from playing him at pf. he could play a good role at the magic again....and most importandly he fits well with the magic

arenas is still a awesome player. he only needs to get his act together.....

[kombayn]

The Magic starting line-up is going to be Jameer Nelson, Gilbert Arenas, Jason Richardson, Hedo Turkoglu and Dwight Howard. Bass will get demoted as he's not that good of a player.

[rsavaj]

Yeah, go ahead and play Hedo at the 4. It worked out really well here.

[Heatmagic84]

The Magic panicked and got too much of the same thing. They would have been better off making the Arenas trade and leaving everything else alone. Now they have Dwight surrounded by a bunch of chuckers..
