Gilbert to Orlando heating up

If both trades go down (VC/Gortat for Hedo/JRich, Lewis for Arenas, and any other small additions in either trade), how do you see Orlando's rotation working out? Be hard to give Arenas, Richardson, Nelson their proper minutes, unless you go with a tiny backcourt for a lot of the game. Which one of those 3 doesn't start, or do they have Richardson as an undersized SF (I doubt this if Hedo is acquired, I'd guess he and Bass would be the forwards).

So we may be looking at three trades in the next 24 hours. Insane.

Wait, Hedo, JRich, and Arenas? Is Hedo the new stretch 4?

Again, voice of reason. Matchup problems worked in our favor, every team has ONE 6-10 guy. I will be interested to see what happens with Jameer's productivity after all of these potential moves come to fruition, can he handle all of the personnel changes and still be effective at picking his spots?

Orlando-Phoenix closer on multi-player trade that's prelude to Arenas to Magic, sources say. Carter, Gortat and Hedo among several on move.

WoJo makes it officially close.

Trading a top 15 point guard for a backup center for Dwight Howard? That makes a lot of sense.

In this scenario, Washington and Orlando make deal centered on Arenas for Rashard Lewis, sources tell Y!.

Only reason I'm saying something is because this deal makes no sense for Jameer.

Jameer/Jwill
Arenas/JJ
JRich/Hedo/MP
Bass/Ryno
Howard/Allen

????

As a Vince fan I'd like him to stay in Orlando as that is he best chance at a Title BUT I'd like this trade also!!

It is interesting if true since Otis has then changed his mind about Hedo & believes at his contract he can still be productive in Orlando playing alongside Nelson/Dwight. JRich is also a solid 3pt shooter IIRC. I like it. Does this mean Magic would get a big to backup Dwight in the Wizards trade?

Magic#1 · Post #1236 » by **Magic#1** » Sat Dec 18, 2010 7:08 pm

If that Broussard deal happens, and then we trade Lewis for Arenas, that gives us a crapload of shooters. I may be in the minority here, but I actually like that Phoenix deal as long as we get a replacement backup center. Gortat is good, but he can easily be replaced considering we don't need a ton of production out of our backup center. Vince flat out hasn't worked out here. Hedo at least knows how to play with us, and J-Rich is having a heckuva season. My only question is if we then traded Lewis for Arenas we're looking at a team with a core of Nelson/J-Rich/Arenas/Hedo/Dwight. J-Rich and Arenas really are both twos on this team.

I don't know what to think right now.

Post #1238 » by **Def Swami** » Sat Dec 18, 2010 7:08 pm

I actually think adding Hedo, JRich, and Arenas improves our team offensively. We're def going to get some great ball movement and shouldn't have a problem scoring.

This is exciting. Seems something is going down for sure today. Have been moving houses for the past 2 weeks and haven't had a computer on, what is this I read about a fight amongst players in Portland/Utah that has caused major trust issues between the players?

cb1115 · Post #1240 » by **cb1115** » Sat Dec 18, 2010 7:08 pm

I would like having JRich on the team. Say no to Hedo.
