Just like the darkoholics, plasticmon, etc, I think he's completely serious and is flabbergasted why many don't feel the same way.

Yeah, and it always comes back to:

Would you rather have Player X do great and the team do poor?

or

Would you rather have Player X do little and the team do great?

Unfortunately, there are always a few people who couldn't care less if the team is winning as long as Player X is getting minutes and putting up numbers.

Its not so much about Player X doing little and the team doing great. Its about player development thats all. Why pick a guy high in the draft but don't give him a chance to perform or get better?

And, if the Magic front office feels like he won't get much better over time or that they already have guys on the team that can do what Player X can do, then they should find a way to move him for someone that they can use...

For some it is, but for the vast majority of fans its about having a winning organization. We are closing in on 50 wins this year. We aren't here trying to develop talent with no shot at the playoffs. JJ getting playing time or not getting playing time is nothing more than a side issue. And, we apparently are keeping him because we will have an even bigger hole at sg this summer with Evans and Dooling expiring. By keeping him, we have at the very least two guys under contract at that position. Its not all about JJ Redick, and you appear to be a one issue fan here.

I was at the San Antonio game last week, JJ came in i believe in the first half, if not early second. He had shots, missed all of them. His D was horrible, guy ran circles around him.

TRADE HIM, CUT HIM, GET HIM OFF OUR ROSTER (arroyo too)

Sure, lets cut Redick and Arroyo 8 games before the playoffs start...

Maybe we can pick up some D-League studs to replace them, who would obviously be better, and they wouldn't dirsupt the team because they would pick up the plays and fit into the rotation within a day or two I'm sure.

Redickulous.

well considering we can't trade Arroyo this summer (or now), and couldn't cut him unless we did it now, or before the season ended, and the whole "CUT HIM, GET HIM OFF OUR ROSTER" in caps, to me kind of gives the impression of immediacy.

So your saying that Bogans and Evans need to be traded, cut or just get rid of them because of that game against San Antonio since they played as bad as Redick. Check the stats for the game if you don't believe me.

Since you checked the stats, was that the game that Evans had 7 assists?

BTW - Evans can't be traded either.
