Hoopsworld Rumors: Arroyo and Redick for Dixon and Graham

[Nemesis21]

No thanks to this trade.

[magicfanejc42]

eww....

[Shishnizzle]

We need a starting power forward. don't need any tweeners or more guards. I say no

[mrtcsm]

WhAt?!?!?!?!?! HORRIBLE trade... Neither Dixon or Graham can play at this level... they are one dimensional players... Dixon is a decent shooter (JJ is much a better shooter) and Graham is a slasher and defender (very much like Evans) so I see no need for this trade... I think we can get much more value for the players we are GIVING AWAY!!!

[Optimus_Steel]

We dont need anymore SF's. Nor do we need any more small guards who are limited. No reason at all for the Magic to make this trade.

[Van_Trump]

Joey Graham's natural position is a 4. It's what he played in College.

His difficulties stem from the fact that he's too short to play power forward in the NBA.

When he has done well it's because the match-ups allowed him to play close to the basket.

Do not trade for Joey expecting a 3. He's an undersized 4.

[FFBlitzace]

We'd eliminate 2 magic killers with this, but would add 2 more with Arroyo and Redick.

Nah, this trade blows.

[MoGrAdY]

That would be a horrible trade IMO. But I do hope Otis explores trade options and if we can get a good deal Id gladly deal JJ. Even though Id much rather see him get some PT first.

[Fan from day 1]

no way. if we trade JJ, it better be to the west. i dont want to see JJ light us up as a raptor

[richi_v25]

YAY more small fowards... See if only Grant hill would have stayed then we could have gone after someone like mike miller or maggette for dwight and had a starting line-up of all small fowards!!! after that we'd be running out of room for our championship banners LOL!

[Illuminati]

Are you seriously fond of Joey Graham?

Have you seen him play? He can't dribble, has low b-ball IQ, he plays like a robot.

You'll hate him in 2 games quote me.

[drsd]

I agree that a Arroyo/Redick package would be useful to go after Villanueva.

A Arroyo/Redick/Garrity package gets Villanueva/Mason/Storey.

This gets the Bucks a backup PG behind Williams; if they are shooting for the playoffs this year. And breaks a log jam so that Villanueva and Mason are "let go" to create the minutes they need for their young team.

My problem is that the trade is unfair. Villanueva and Mason may not be getting the minutes their respective talents deserve, but that does not mean that the Bucks will let another team steal these assets.

[Bensational]

ewwww. the title deal is horrible. why would we do it?? we need:

* starting quality PF

* starting quality SG

* starting quality PG

this doesn't get us any of those. or even an upgrade over anything we've already got.

[SD2042]

Pass on the trade. Like someone mention earlier. The Magic need a PF who can be a solid contributor on both ends of the floor. More preferally on the defensive end to help ease pressure on D-12.

[Dunkin On Ya]

This trade will NEVER happen. Arroyo and Redick are far better and way more valuanle than the Juan Dixon/Joey Graham combination.

[Max Power]

Gotta agree, that trade does nothing really to help the Magic. Arroyo actually has improved under Van Gundy, thats something I hoped for, and I know Joey Graham played for UCF for like 3 weeks but if he's a crappy small forward why do we need him. We already got worthless ass Brian Cooks expanded waste taking up bench space. Only bad trade per year please.

[tsherkin]

As a Toronto resident...

I can't fathom why Orlando would do this.

Dixon is useless; on nights when his J is going, he can look good on offense but he's a chucker with no sense or conscience. He's also of no defensive value and isn't a playmaker.

Graham is everything that's been said of him here; robotic, without handles... He's got a good set shot and he's built like a basketball god but he has no native instinct to his game. His brother is actually a lot better than he is because he didn't play PF in the NCAA like Joey.

This trade makes no sense for the Magic. Toronto might enjoy getting Arroyo back as a backup while we figure out the Ford situation and maybe even seeing what we could do with Redick (who'd probably love our offense) but it's really a "I'm in your lockerroom, taking your stuffz" type of trade, horrible for Orlando.

[Driguez]

This trade scenario made me puke, im not against trading both of them if we are actually getting something of value and that would actually HELP us win.

[Shaazzam]

I don't understand why ORL would do this.

[SOUL]

Yeah, I'm not too big on this trade idea at all.
