How do you say "negotiating leverage" in Spanish?

"Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me"

If we fall for this same trick twice I'm going to quit supporting the Magic on general principle.

I don't think he'll come over, such a shame, he can be our Gasol-lite.

I think he can play in this league. Hope he comes over.

Fran Vazquez will be a very good NBA player, and I sincerely hope he comes over. I think he'd be an outstanding compliment to Dwight.

I hope not. don't want him here. he's not even in control of his own life. we don't have rooms for simps on this team.

i would be rather shocked if vasquez turned out to be a better nba player than gortat. or bass. or anderson.

I'm fricken stoked!!

I honestly feel like he'll come over and play for us next season. His current deal will allow us to buy him out and this article kind of reaffirms him warming up to the idea. Rubio will come over next year, Fran will follow.

This guy can run the floor, swat shots, and just jump out of the building. He's Gortat's insurance with more to offer, so we'd then be able to upgrade in another area (via Gortat trade).

Errrr... get ready to be burned by Franny then. He's been doing it to us for years

People said similar things about guys like Luis Scola. The very nature of the European game, and also the stats players put up, lead to suggestions that they wouldn't fit in in the NBA. Fran Vazquez is a very good man and team defender, a good rebounder and shot blocker, and has decent range on his shooting (when he is allowed to shoot). He has a very NBA friendly style.

I was burned when we opted to select Fran instead of Danny Granger :evil:

(also, when we lost out on Blatche in the 2nd RD that year) :-?

I was burned when I though he'd come in 07'-08', but signed an extension. Though with maturity and alot of guys warming up to the idea of coming (Rubio, now Splitter) back to the NBA, and along with our elite-like team and Dwight Howard, seems like a perfect fit and the buyout seems plausible.

Honestly though, I think the magic are just trying to stir things up in order to get some sort of value for him. I highly doubt Otis and Co. will make him wear the Magic jersey considering the negative press he got us.

his game might be better suited for the nba, but we may never see

Hopefully this is true.

I wonder why people take gambles on drafts like this?

Again, I highly doubt he ever plays for the Magic, but if he did , Ryan or Bass would need to be traded .

If he did, it would likely be Bass or Gortat. IMO.
