Watching the stream now. Alex said that they plan on keeping him until they feel there is no chance. Let's hope the pull something off.

i like alex martins he is an optimstic person. he could very well save this franchise. what concerns me acts like he has no control over otis smith. he is the ceo and should get otis and dwight in a room to clear the air right now.

Dont know if its been discussed by it sounds like Dallas is looking to trade Fernandez and Corey Brewer.

I for one hope Otis is making a call about Brewer. I think he's the type of defensive piece we are missing from being a championship contender.

I think a lineup of: Dwight/BBD/Brewer/Jrich/Nelson could be great!

I like this guy Alex. Someone has to cater to Dwight. I'm glad this guy is here. If Dwight stay, get this guy a trophy. If not, a certificate for effort.

It has been discussed but Brewer is awful!!! Dude couldnt even get minutes in Sota. Fernandez on the other had would be a very nice piece

btw= did we lift the "no headbands" rule? or is that just a game time thing?

Q and Hughes are in headbands... so i ask.

Well he was suppose to be Barnes w/ a better 3 pt. shot (according to analysts and some fans). The 3 ball wasn't falling that well for Q last season, we can only hope for better production this year.

In other news Pacers finally land OJ Mayo. Fell through on deadline day, but just acquired him for Rush and McRoberts

Fernandez is garbage on Defense! We dont need any more offensive firepower. We need a defensive stopper for the Joe Johnson, Dwade, Carmelo's of the world we'll face in the playoffs. I think Corey would be a great addition. He can also slash!

^ great pickup for Indiana, they will be very good IMO

Collison
Mayo
Granger
West
Hibbert

Thats a legit top 4-5 East team

BelgianMagic · Post #138 » by **BelgianMagic** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 5:14 pm

@AschNBA Steve Aschburner
If Dwight Howard re-signs with ORL, got to think Magic will have agreed to GM Dwight's trade ideas. Starting w/ Otis Smith for Sam Presti.

Baby's looking good....I'm actually pretty excited about him coming in. He was phenomenal when he started for KG back in 2009. He can play.
