THE Trade Deadline Thread

[magicman123]

just watched the Live Sportscenter segment with Chris and Jalen

Bulls looking at C-Lee and/or OJ Mayo

Miami looking to shop Miller (already knew that)

Houston, Cleveland are all active in trade talks, looking to get rid of players

And Minnesota looking to get rid of Flynn... and a lot of teams are still looking into Wallace, including Portland

No mention of Orlando... No mention of Zbo or Memphis... or Utah with Millsap and/or Jefferson

sigh

At this point, I'd rather have Clee over J-Rich.

what about bogans? he can score about 10 in this system and give up 15-20 on defense

Otis Smith says he did not make a trade offer for Deron Williams, per @JoshuaBRobbins.

IS IT ALRIGHT FOR ME TO BE PISSED ABOUT THIS? HOW CAN YOU NOT MAKE AN OFFER? WTF

calm down, man. When has he ever been truthful with the media? He even denied going after CP last offseason. You're a vet and should know how Otis handles these things. He's not the best GM out there but he's not the worst either. I'm sure the guy made a call but they didn't like what we had to offer.

[ChosenSavior]

I'm surprised the Jazz didn't contact our team or the Pacers for Deron. THe Magic and the Pacers have one of the most white players besides their team.

lol

I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep tonight still... It just feels so odd that nothing, not even a single deal for a back-up big, or a defensive swingman, or another legit #2 guy (ex: Zbo), or anyone for that... ANYONE... is being reported for Orlando... I hope Orlando isn't going quiet this deadline... but I know that it will probably happen, and it's an unsettling feeling I have

This.

I do have my doubts on us making a trade by noon, but all we can do as fans is have faith in Otis, so that is what I'm going to do.

I miss C-Lee... Bogans, not so much lol... man, I don't know how Bulls fans manage with that guy... but knowing their organization and persistence... they're probably going to snag a serviceable SG before the deadline to replace Bogans... upgrades everywhere and everyplace... except here in Orlando

[magicman123]

lets have a fire sale (except dwight) and rebuild after next season

[JBR152]

I just get back to find more trades, we lose to the Kings, and Otis is happy with our roster. ****.

[Nyce_1]

Somebody needs to start a fake rumor to get Otis active. Something like "Hornets are ready to trade chris paul" or "Sixers making Iggy available".

[MagicFan32]

WILL you guys shutup
we have nothing that could match a Harris/Favors/unprotected high picks offer, if we hate our players, why would anyone trade a top 3 PG for them?
Dumb dumbs!!

[JNelson43]

Usually I get over a loss after 10-15 minutes, but this is the worst I've felt about this team all season (at least since the trade). All the Dwight to LA crap combined with the poor play from everyone else, losing to the Kings, and then most likely no trade being made really gives you a sinking feeling.

[magicman123]

magic fans = believable

For everyone that says we are panicking, clearly aren't watching this team. At the very least, GET A DAMN BACK UP CENTER. Everyone is getting better around us. I'm not entirely sure if we can beat New York right now. I hate to say that but it's true.

...Van Gundy said Wednesday morning that he would be surprised if the Magic made a move before Thursday's 3 p.m. trade deadline — and surely, Wednesday night's loss sent many Magic fans into full-on panic mode — but not making a move is the right move for the Magic.

A knee-jerk trade based on one ugly, ugly loss isn't going to fix the Magic's problems. Orlando's faceplant Wednesday wasn't due to lack of talent and wasn't a result of a poor game plan. A new power forward or a new point guard won't be the magic elixir to cure Orlando's woes.

The Magic simply didn't try hard enough against Sacramento, and their lack of sustained effort been a lingering issue all season...

First and foremost, it's been since the trade. We've been playing terrible. And second of all, I'm not a CP3 fanboy that thinks he is coming here, but getting him would make us the best team in the East. Just saying.

Thanks for posting that. Very interesting look at the situation, however there is something wrong with this team that goes beyond just not playing hard. Until we get consistency with rotations, minutes, lineups etc., this crap is going to continue. Dwight being vocal about it is in the right direction. His next step is to motivate these guys to play better and harder whether we make a trade or not. He has to be like this every single game.

[magicman123]

lets finish the season off and then

1. let jrich expire
2. convince arenas to opt out after next season, give him money under the table something
3. trade redick, jameer, bass, duhon or richardson for expirings and picks
4. sign dwight and cp3 or deron

we would still make the playoffs next season but we take a step back for a great offseason

I don't agree or disagree fully with the article's opinion (I can make cases for both sides).. I just posted it, cuz it's something new that popped up on a slow Magic news night RSS feed
