They do. News that their backup PF just blew his ACL just broke, so I hope Otis takes that news and our recent performance and turns it into a trade. Granted, Ryan was probably our best player in Miami. I don't know, I play with the Griz all the time in 2k12 and use OJ as my point. He's money in the game, I dropped 52 with him in an online match a couple hours ago.

I'm more than willing to have O.J. Mayo on the Orlando Magic, the Grizzlies have been trying to move him for the longest, hope O. Smith is really looking at him.

Works for both teams, we (hopefully) get our guy that can be our #2 scorer and playmaker, Grizzlies get Ryno to replace Darell Arthur and Q that can help replace Shane Battier's production from last year.

This is a trade meant to happen.

Which probably means Otis won't do it.

If we do get OJ than i think we need to make a move for someone that can at least score 15-20ppg, someone like Stephen Jackson or John Salmons and we'd be set imo.

That's too late for us. We need him now if we want to even attempt to keep Dwight.

Well, we have Howard under contract for the season. I don't anticipate GSW trading Monta right before the season. I think they'll see what they can do with him. And once they realize they aren't making the playoffs with that squad, then they'll look to move him. And we'll have J-Rich and Baby to use also in a trade.

Orlando Prodigy · Post #567 » by **Orlando Prodigy** » Mon Dec 19, 2011 5:58 am

Who would we trade to Golden State for Monta anyhow?

When is the trade deadline by the way?

Mar 15th.

As far as Monta, I hate to sound like a broken record, but Mark Jackson loves Monta, is forming a nice bond with the kid, and is trying to turn him around and make him into something special. Plus, they have no reason to get rid of him. Yet.

The Grizzlies are desperate for a PF. I think Ryan for OJ straight up is good value, but unfortunately the salaries don't match. We'd have to throw in someone. Maybe we get a 2nd rounder for Q rich? \

Mayo is not what the team needs, especially if we give up a PF for him. Prioritize people, prioritize.

On an unrelated question, since at more than half of your posts you are being a Von homer and type ridiculous things like starting him and such, what happens when Mayo comes in? :lol:

Mayo starts at the 1 :wink:

Why should we trade a PF for ANOTHER SG? We have a complete jogjam there anyways.

Mayo is nothing special....

We need a new point guard now. It HAS to happen. If we are gonna roll with Hedo, we NEED to start Mayo if we get him. Monta or Mayo PLEASE!

I think most people realize my Von Wafer posts are jokes. If they don't, they should be taken as such. I've occasionally peppered my Von Wafer praises by saying he'd be good 10-12MPG.

But we should also start Mayo at the 1, like I do in 2k12. Not like I'm pretending to be a GM, all my talk is from real basketball experience combined with some 2k12.

Obviously we'd be short a backup PF and C if we traded Ryno, so that would have to be addressed.

That is not what I said, very shady... very very shady... :lol:

Seriously though, I need Ryno to make Monta trade happen. 8-)

AND

Who is Gustavo Ayon? I have heard NOLA is making a move to sign him. As far as I know, he is undrafted, probably never declared. He is Mexican and that is the extend of my knowledge. Maybe someone else can shed a light on this.

AND WTF Dwight??? You don't get to bolt when you say things like

It was disappointing and it was embarrassing, but we have to stick together. I just told the guys that we’re in this together.

I know right.

I already don't like the way this season has started. It has nothing to do with to the blow out loss today. As a Magic fan, I'm already distracted with all the Dwight nonsense. To certain level, it has to be affecting the team.
