LOL but seriously, am i stuck with it?


you're not. there's a thread by howard mass somewhere on the forum--suggestions subforum, maybe, or something like that? he'll change it for you. if you can't find it after googling/digging around realgm, let me know (I guess twitter?) and I'll dig it up for you.

I've pretty much come to the conclusion that Arenas will be in Orlando... I'm just trying to figure out who the "other" guy(s) may be


That and who we sent to the Wiz for him.


Yeah bro, all accounts show that Lewis will be a Wiz... but where is VC (and presumably Gortat) going to? and for who?

How is Andre Miller getting here? Don't say Jameer Nelson because he's just as ball dominant as Andre Miller which Roy seems to be complaining about these days. Arenas for Rashard and Iggy for Carter + whatever else I can see though.


Portland wants to get rid of Miller and has already talked to the Magic about Gortat. :dontknow:

Maybe we keep Nelson as a 6th man or flip him to philly as well. Just brainstorming.

I Don't wanna think that positively... it never works out for us Magic fans. It usually ends in disappointment. As a former Mets fan as well, I know the feeling all too well.

True, didn't think of that. Gortat for Miller does work and could be a possibility. The main problem with that line up though is the lack of shooting. Gilbert is the only decent 3 point shooter. That would definitely change the dynamics of this team greatly though :lol:

I had planned on playing video games for a few hours, then doing a bit of reading, and then going to bed.

But those plans changed. I've spent, and will continue to spend, the whole night refreshing RealGM and Twitter.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

You would think that if we swapped Lewis for Arenas, we'd have to trade VC. I can't see Arenas and VC coexisting on the same team. Just doesn't seem like a good fit.

I keep looking at Phoenix, Portland, or Philly for the answers to that, idk why, but I just have a feeling

So if Otis trades VC and Lewis, and you have to imagine Duhon is on the block to any willing taker, is Otis essentially admitting that he's bungled every major signing of the past few seasons for this team short of Brandon Bass?
