Richardson's a really good score for you guys. He's your best offensive player since Francis, IMO.

Berger also notes that a source tells him that the Houston Rockets "tried to get in mix for Gortat, with Kevin Martin going to Magic, but couldn't get it done."

WTF I SO WANTED HIM

he Orlando Magic and Phoenix Suns have reportedly agreed on a trade that includes Vince Carter, Marcin Gortat, Mickael Pietrus, Jason Richardson, Hedo Turkoglu, Earl Clark, a draft pick and cash. Posted by Ben Golliver.

Earlier today, we noted a report from CBSSports.com's Ken Berger that outlined the developing possibility of a trade between the Orlando Magic and the Phoenix Suns. Yahoo! Sports and ESPN.com are both reporting on Saturday that a deal has been consummated between the two teams.

The Orlando Magic will reportedly send guard Vince Carter, center Marcin Gortat, wing Mickael Pietrus a first round pick and $3 million (the maximum amount allowed in a trade) to the Phoenix Suns for Jason Richardson, Hedo Turkoglu and Earl Clark.

For the Magic, they get a proven playoff scoring threat in Jason Richardson and a versatile forward with whom they are familiar in Turkoglu. They also get a heavy burden with Turkoglu's contract and sacrifice depth in the middle with the departure of Gortat.

The Suns immediately address their needs for defense and rebounding with the acquisition of Gortat and shed the remaining years of salary owed to Turkoglu. They also roll the dice on Carter, who is in the final year of his guaranteed contract.

Berger confirms the Suns/Magic trade reports and additionally reports that a trade between the Orlando Magic and Washington Wizards sending Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas to the Magic for forward Rashard Lewis is a "done deal."

CBSSports source confirms: Magic get Turkoglu, JRich, Earl Clark from Suns, Arenas from Wizards. "Done deal," CBSSports source says. Wizards get Rashard Lewis, while Suns get Carter, Gortat, Pietrus.

Berger also notes that a source tells him that the Houston Rockets "tried to get in mix for Gortat, with Kevin Martin going to Magic, but couldn't get it done."

The move of Lewis for Arenas is a swap of horrible contracts, but it makes some sense for Orlando as it was going to be difficult to find minutes for Lewis, Turkoglu and the team's two other power forwards, Ryan Anderson and Brandon Bass. The Magic add two scoring threats on the perimeter in Arenas and Richardson, but the trades leave them extremely vulnerable in the middle should anything happen to Dwight Howard.

How did the Suns end up with a 1st rounder in this deal?

And Arenas will be our best offensive player since Richardson

Still conflicting reports about Gortat. Oh well, we will know by game time as I am sure they will talk about it in pregame.

Kevin Martin is a chucker and wouldn't fit with Dwight.

Duhon could be on the move too. This really is better salary wise now and for the future. Assuming the Shard deal goes through.

If Gortat really is gone, should look into bringing Battie back.

Why don't we just bring back Pat Garrity while we're seemingly infatuated with old washed up Magic Players.

Dammit Hedo

If Gortat does indeed go to the Suns, he gets what he's wanted all along:

The ability to play major minutes and possibly start.

I actually think the suns trade is excellent.....despite what hedo has done he is still the perfect player for the magic team..he was a big part of the reason they made it to the finals...and Richardson is athletic and he slashes to the basket which the team needs instead of shooting all the jumpers...overall its a great deal
