Pure Salary Dump

[jentoniodavis]

I'm a raps fan, but just wanted to know what you guys thought of this trade

To Orl:
Szerbiak, Delonte

for

JJ, Dooling, Garrity, and Arroyo, draft picks a 1st and 2nd.

SEA gets all expiring contracts, plus JJ

Orl gets good SG, plus a solid combo off the bench who stated his desire to leave.

Or maybe just Delonte straight up for JJ

I can't believe how much sense this makes

[theTHIEF]

no...Orlando gives up a lot for that expiring and another so/so guard...

[MMFla]

We could just sign DWest if we wanted to in the offseason. Plus we need a PF not another 3 IMO.

[Magicalltheway]

some body close the door to this circus.

[theTHIEF]

Dooling = veteran West with more speed and explosiveness....

[jentoniodavis]

You guys need a PF?

Maurice Williams is your SG...I thought Shard is your PF

Delonte is a WHOLE LOT better than dooling. plus dooling is one of the biggest ball hogs i've seen.

[theTHIEF]

no sir, the only thing West is a whole lot more than Dooling is ugly...Dooling does for us what he's been designed to do...so he fits...

you dont even know what the Magic need and your proposing trades...

[laVal03]

I believe our SG is Maurice EVANS not williams and NO to this trade just horrible

[LBPTarHeel27]

Explain why the picks are involved?

[EasternMagic]

we lose too much in this trade and we just pick up another jameer and a poor mans hedo/rashard

[Typhoon20]

HELL NO.

Wally has a big fat contract and isn't that good.

[Shishnizzle]

The Magic are not looking to dump salary. We are looking at dealing our expirings to take on a player we can use. We are in a position where we have a core and with our salary sitiuation we are going to have to be creative to add meaningfull pieces, not pieces of crap. So no!

[Shishnizzle]

All these BS trades remind me of when I was a kid and this other kid had a hotwheel I really wanted, so I tride multiple trade scenarios with my hotwheels but he just would'nt do it... so I just kicked his ass and stole it from him anyway.

[Mr. Weed]

Joe Smith, anyone?

He's quietly having a very solid season in Chicago. Unfortunately, the Bulls are going nowhere and the youth movement should be starting any day now (should have already started, but that's another matter).

Would the Magic consider expirings (perhaps Garrity + Augustine) and either their late rd 1 or possibly the rights to Vazquez?

I don't see the Bulls' front office going out of their way to move him, as he'll be a valuable expiring contract for potential trades this coming offseason, but if a contending team presented enough value in return it would certainly make sense to pull the trigger.

Thoughts?

Just wonderin' if we can get Kidd with our expirings and a pick or two.

Joe Smith is exactly the kind of player a playoff team trades for. Chicago will look to dump salary, and they would be interested in expiring deals.

Both Smith and Adrian Griffin have a year left on their deals. Trade for Arroyo and Garrity, both expiring, is something the Bulls would have to consider. Not sure what the Magic do with Griffin. But, that a price to make such a deal work.


Of course the player the Bulls would most want to dump is Ben Wallace. For Garrity, Arroyo, Dooling, and Battie, he could be had.

But Smith makes more sense.

This is far more thought out than the original trade. We need a big and Joe Smith is pretty solid overall.

The original trade is terrible. The last thing we need is those two players. Dooling is actually pretty legit and we have no need for West. Wally, we don't need any more shooters. That trade gives the Magic nothing they need.

As drsd and SS say, first trade no no; Joe Smith idea is v.good, I'd do it.
