OS: Magic believe Vazquez will join them next season

I do not see the Magic trading Anderson for the rest of his career, unless he totally flops. He is 22 still, right? No way I keep Bass or Gortat over Ryno. I would love to see:

Like others have said he is saying this so he gets better contract from his current team. He said all of this before and he used it to get himself the contract he is playing under now.

It's just a repeat of that same old jerk. Using the Magic card to get himself a better contract. Never going to see him. What a waste of a draft pick.

Well. to Fran's credit, last year he was offered a luccrative 3-year extension, and he only signed one year.

That said, I have troubles envisioning Fran playing in the NBA

If Fran Vazquez is inked for Orlando, then Anderson and/or Bass need to be traded.

What makes more sense is for Orlando to trade Vazquez to Minny. Fran then gets to keep playing with Ricky Rubio (who is also likely to come stateside in 2011).

Orlando won't want Milicic in the trade, and one can wonder if the babywolves would include Nikola Pekovic in any deal. So, this would have to be a three team thing.

from an Orlando Magic standpoint, i just don't trust the guy. he seems so non-commital. it's like the girl that refuses to make up her mind. you just gotta cut her loose and in five years time you'll bump into her in a strip club.

I doubt they give us Pekovic, who is one of the top bigs in Europe right now, and three years younger than Fran, unless Rubio himself said he really wanted Fran to be in Minny with him.

I know people are reticent to think about trading Ryno, Gortat or Bass, but if Fran comes over here with the intention of playing for Orlando (and I acknowledge the possibility that he is just using the Magic as contract leverage), at least one of them is expendable, and rightly so. People look at the few internet hilights they can find of him, and see that he averages 7.5 and 3.5 in the Euroleague, and assume he isn't good enough, or as good as those three guys. It's not a stretch to say that, right now, he is better. Ryno has so much potential, and in time he probably will be the better all round player, but Fran Vazquez is a better defender and has a higher basketball IQ than all three of those guys. Offensively he's not anything special, but he could do a passable job in Orlando, especially on a team that has so much offensive firepower that he'd be low on the list of defensive priorities.

There you go - we send them Bass, they send us Rubio, Fran and Rubio get to keep playing together in Orlando!

I'm sure Kahn could be talked into that. Which is a sad, sad thing for T'Wolves fans.

But not for us

•Twardzik said that several NBA clubs have inquired about acquiring Vazquez's rights. "There's more interest throughout the league," he said.

As pointed out earlier, it very well and likely is a leverage ploy to get one last massive contract in Spain.

I have no doubt we're looking at trading his rights. Just a matter of what they think they can/should get for him. May just be a 2nd Rounder at this point which is looking pretty damn good right about now.

There's no point discussing this topic until the end of the postseason.

I think Jameer Nelson would want something to say about this.

Or perhaps it's incredibly sad that you're trolling another team's forum with your abject lack of understanding for sarcasm.

My sarcasm detector only goes off in case the comment would have been funny had it been sarcastic.

It's definitely incredibly sad that you don't know the meaning of the word trolling not to mention your limited "get off my lawn" interpretation of team forums.

His limited interpretation of team forums is perhaps matched only by your limited interpretation of sarcasm.
