[Deezy]

Jameer NOT coming off the bench, period.

[pokerfan12]

SO ARE YOU GUYS CLEAR? JAMEER NOT COMING OFF THE BENCH. UNLESS HE STINKS IT UP AND GETS TRADED. looks like it will be turk coming off the bench.

[MickaelPietrus]

Gilbert Jason or Turk will backup.


I`d go with Gilbert being that guy.

[AgEnT50]

Stan said Jameer is starting at point

Suns fan here. Starting reading your board when I heard about arenas.

What a day for you guys, huh?

Well, I can tell you very sincerely that despite a few children on the suns board, it's common knowledge that Clark will never amount to anything. It's hard to believe, I know, you guys are looking at random college highlight reals, maybe the one dunk he had for us, and you're seeing that he's tall with a good body and can handle the ball.

Trust me. Don't get your hopes up. He has NO energy on the court, claims it's because he's "laid back". He has decent defense but is a huge liability playing against a defender who stand even remotely near him. When a player can't get into the motion of the Suns' offense, it means he's not going to get into ANY offense.

HOWEVER, I also read that you guys are only a little stoked on J Rich. I don't think you guys understand... This guy is an all-star. Every one of our wins this season have been because of him. Literally. He can rebound, he can play decent defense (very underrated IMO), he can run the court, spot up, create his own shot, etc... Nelson, Jrich, Dwight makes for a TERRIFIC set of threats.

Hedo will be Hedo, he'll play if he feels like it, although I will say he has been the worst player on our team besides Clark this year. No joke. With the exception of 2 big shots, he's done nothing but hurt us, but hey, I'm talking to Magic fans, so I'm sure you know his story just fine. Maybe he'll get it back.

The real issue with all of this is Arenas. I've never thought he was anything worth talking about, one of the most over paid guys in the league (except Hedo). Are you playing Arenas at 1? Why acquire two shooting guards?

Nelson
Jrich
Hedo
Bass
Howard

You CAN'T have Arenas distribute to all of those players. He's not smart enough. Or maybe I'm wrong. I guess he's never really had a lot of help. so maybe this is it. Wizards are FOOLS though. Rashard is worse.

Interested to watch you guys the rest of the season. I can say this: You guys have a bad ass owner. Recognizing that being 3rd or 4th in line doesn't do anything, and losing howard would ruin the franchise for years to come. He understood what he had to do, and he did a damn good job of shaking things up.

At least you're not the suns, who are praising the high heavens that we got our new star big man *gortat*. jeez. we're desperate.

It's becoming pretty obvious that SVG intends to start:

Jameer
Arenas
JRich
Bass
Dwight

...and will bring Hedo off the bench, occasionally playing the 4 against small lineups.

[Blazerlife]

Maybe Magic's new target Ersan Ilyasova

Duhon+Anderson=Ersan is very good deal for Magic I think.

He is very good team player and rebounder.

And I think they need 2-3 defender.If Q-Rich continues same play.

[woosah]

Meer and Gil will play together, and meer will not come off bench, although he said Gil is better w/ball in his hands.

---reacting to people saying we couldn't win as was, he disagree

"Are we too small?" - mentioned ryan will help, concerned about having a true center behind Dwight

[WheatThin]

Just go to NBA.com its on there free

Where exactly?

[MickaelPietrus]

Ryan won`t play tonight.

Geussing Malik gets backup PF and backup C.


Bass might even play full 48.

[Idunkonyou2]

From what SVG said, it sure seems like Hedo will come off the bench.

Nelson
Arenas
J-Rich
Bass
Howard

[The-Dawson]

Its over now but it was on NBA.com and you just hadda click "Live now: Magic coach Stan Van Gundy addresses Magic's deals" which was right on the NBA.com homepage

Next is "Coming up: Magic GM Otis Smith to address Orlando's trades at 6:15 ET"

[Nemesis21]

So ,

Jameer/J Will
Arenas/JJ or Q Rich
J Rich/Turk
Bass/Anderson
Dwight/Allen/Orton

Also this probably means less minutes for one of JJ/Q Rich

Still would like to see if we could go get Battie or Gooden or J Foster , something like that

[taii1234]

Can this team take on Boston and Miami?

[woosah]

We'll see what Otis says @ 6:15. Stan says he likes what we did, but seemed sad about Lewis. He said it was "one of the hardest trades I've been a part of." Aww.

[Nolimit1211]

First things first.. Tell these guys this is DWIGHTS Team (I'm looking at you Gil!)

[Nemesis21]

Can this team take on Boston and Miami?

We'll find out, won't we ?

[drsd]

It's becoming pretty obvious that SVG intends to start:

Jameer
Arenas
JRich
Bass
Dwight

Because Arenas was a separate trade than Richardson II, I fully agree that both will start. Also, Nelson must start. So, your lineup seems correct.

So, Orlando's second unit is now:
Duhon
Redick
Richardson I
Anderson
Allen

That is fairly thin in the front-court, but OK in the back-court.

Let's all pray that Howard i) stays healthy, and ii) reduces his tech rate. Orlando cannot afford Howard to miss any more games.

Well we sure as hell can't with VC & Shard..

[MickaelPietrus]

So ,

Jameer/J Will
Arenas/JJ or Q Rich
J Rich/Turk
Bass/Anderson
Dwight/Allen/Orton

No love for Duhon
