why are people still talking about garbo? we don't need someone to replace garbo. gomes does not fill a need. he's an undersized pf he can't defend wing players.

Probably a 3-point shooter – Redick, Korver...

amen. move along people. garbo is ancient history and gomes is unnecessary.

Redick, Brewer or Gomes are my hopes.

Travis Outlaw.
Should have signed him the summer we signed Kapono. But he was a RFA back then.
Now's our chance. Outlaw should be the target.

Josh Howard anybody? Fills a need. MLE? Crazier things have happened.

Post #355 » by **Alfred** » Mon Jul 5, 2010 9:11 pm

I don't want to spend the MLE on anyone over the age of 28. This should be a signing with the future in mind.

But Garbo's injury is the reason we're in this mess to begin with...

Not really. Redick has a GREAT bball IQ and can get to the rim at times. He actually knows what he's doing out there. Van Gundy raves about him and is really hoping they keep him.
I don't think he's a starter but he is a great 6th man to have. The Magic played MUCH better with him out there than when Vince was out there.

LOL...Ryan Gomes? Really? An undersized PF who can't rebound, is a spot-up shooter offensively and doesn't battle in the paint? The guy isn't worth anything close to the MLE, not even half of it.

I may be wrong but I believe Howard and Chandler did not opt out.

On another note, I've been refreshing this page every 5 minutes all day. Not helping my productivity at work...
