Ok so we waive Hughes for an even shorter version of Jameer? me personally i wouldn't do it and he hasn't proven he can still light it up like he used to

I'll rather keep Hughes. He's showing that he still has a good basketball-IQ and being able to play from PG-SF would help us out a lot. Hope he ends up knocking Duhon out for backup PG this season.

like to add: can never have too many smart vets on the team.

I rather keep Hughes because I'm tired of our PGs being half a foot shorter than other teams pg

Dwight is the worse superstar when it comes to picking players. If Otis were to get everybody Dwight wants, it is almost unavoidable that the team would suck even worse. Consequently; Dwight will leave and Orlando will be stuck with garbage like Captain Jack or Nate, on top of the very own garbage.

Rudolph just tweeted something that i agree with alot. If Lopez supsoedly gets you D12 then why can't we put something together with Jameer to get a greta player for dwight? Jameer is better than Lopez.

Check rudolphs twitter, he went off on a bunch of rants about magic that were right on imo.

I still think we need a backup Center, Erick Dampier would be my choice.

DiplomaticMagic · Post #1353 » by **DiplomaticMagic** » Mon Dec 26, 2011 4:40 am

I want Monte Ellis

How about this trade, Mo Williams for Jason Richardson.

LA has 3 pg's with cp3, mo williams, and billups who's even playing sg. they get an actual sg and if anybody can make j-rich productive, it's cp3. question is would they like his contract?

for us, no more duhon.

JRich will be better. I'm not really worried about that (plus, he can't be traded for a while after signing his contract).

Honestly, what needs to happen is trade JJ (and pray you could package duhon in there) for a vet C who can give you 8 solid minutes a night.

As good as JJ is, his skill set is redundant with richardson who is at least more versatile. (I will say defensively JJ for some reason has the edge, which he shouldn't, but whatever).

This will bolster our front court, and allow minutes for von wafer who could be a legit offensive moster for us. This board is gushing over a guy like Monta Ellis, I think we have a very similar player in von wafer already on the roster.

And please play anyone but duhon!!

That is J-Rich's old contract, he makes somewhere around 6 mil a year now. It'd have to be J-Rich and Duhon. :lol:

hopefully Anderson and Meer get a big showcasing in the first half of this season, and we're able to ship them off for a stud.

Anderson + Meer for Deron is just as fair as Lopez for Dwight.

D12 isnt mentaly here anymore

let s keep him here till march, by then NJ will really suck and their 2012 1st will be really high

then trade

D12+hedo+Duhon+Q for Okur+Humphrey+Lopez+5 1sts

we could maybe work 3 way trade to get value from okur+humphrey

Same for JR, he still have value and a good congrat,lets get as much as we can from him

then keep meer+BBD in our team to show our young player how to be a professional and hard worker

Build around all our 1sts and lopez if healthy
