Official Speculation & Free Agency Thread (Pt I, Mods Close)

Sometimes it's depressing being a Magic fan. Very little positive news and rumors. All we hear about is our Coach questioning the leadership of our star player and that our former CEO calling said super star while allegedly intoxicated. Sigh...

This is pure speculation! Not a report! Howard to Lakers for Bynum and Gasol. Magic then get battier. Just saying.

:eek1:

LOL PURE SPECULATION? Acting like it's an original rumor or thought process (like we haven't heard Howard to LA for the 1,000,000th time)... with that said... PING, WHAT AN IDIOT!

At least he's consistent. That has about much truth to it as his last "report." Looking forward to the season opener against Houston, guys!

-Rockets get a center and a young PF who could be used as trade bait, while unloading spare parts.

-Orlando gets their other superstar.

Who says no?

Houston is one of the teams going after Paul. They are not helping Orlando get Paul.

if it helps them get a legit C, i think they bite.

Also, I'd have Lee coming to us instead of the TPE

Houston definitely wont help us get Paul, but for them supposedly being one of the bigger players in the CP3 sweepstakes, I haven't heard very many rumors involving them. Probably means they stand the best chance

NEM · Post #1014 » by **NEM** » Thu Dec 8, 2011 4:12 am

Im just saying, if they think they can't get him, they do need a center...

PG-Lowry, Dragic
SG-Martin/Williams
SF-Budinger/Blakely/Parsons
PF-Scola/Morris/Anderson
C-Okafor/Patterson/Motiejunas/Hill

They are loaded with prospects, that they could either develop or turn into something else they need

battier is tailor made for svg system. he plays smart, loves the corner 3 and most importantly plays d. he is getting older though

Glad to see we'll probably know where Battier is going tomorrow. I haven't read anywhere he's getting more than a mid-level.
