Trust me. Every one in Magic nation would trade JRich, Nelson and a 1st rounder for Ellis. EVERY ONE!

Okay, well you can't deny the fact that Deron DOES have the talent that the Magic need.

This is a perfect situation for him to *REVIVE*, (which I use loosely) his career.

Again, like someone said. He's one of the few competent player on the Nets roster currently. He's having trouble dealing with all the attention he's getting. He's never dealt with that before in his NBA career.


With the current roster we have, Williams would be great, but we couldn't get him with the current roster we have because we would have to give up the likes of Redick, Anderson, Nelson, Hedo or JRich. We aren't gutting our team for a 3rd team PG, 13th man in an allstar game.

we may not have to gut the team, though.

with recent performances in mind, suddenly a Nelson + Anderson for Deron deal is on par with a Lopez for Dwight deal. we just have to get Dwight to convince Deron to demand a trade here and we might be in business.

lol all good... look you guys played well, ran the high screen with Jose and Bargs very well, you knocked down big shots, moved the ball extremely well (great passes), and you attacked the basket... you played tough D and you held the Magic's shooting % under 40% for most of the game... you guys played very hard, I have a lot of respect for the Raptors... no need to be sensitive/defensive about what I said... I get hyped up during every game, and I use whatever I can to get motivated/angry to "hate the Magic's opponent" during every game (ex: your commentators annoying me)... don't take it personally... just fans at play :) . Later. Good game, and good luck in your upcoming games. See you next time. Deuces.

And to think, we are one more good Redick/JRich game away from starting 5-0. Hopefully JRich can give us more consistent good play. I expect him to bounce back in the next game.

Of course he did, lol. Although I'm still going to be on the bandwagon. I think he's got a lot of potential. I'd say Dwight lite.

He does have a good work ethic and motivation. He stated that he wants to be Defensive MVP someday. You don't say that unless you want it. I enjoy watching players that work themselves up from a backup to a solid starter.

We're playing well with Nelson playing subpar...imagine when he gets it going....I know there is people down on Nelson right now but i think he will turn it around....I always think back to that Charlotte series in the Playoffs where he carried us when Dwight couldn't get off the bench because he was in foul trouble...Nelson averaged like 25 a game in that series i think.....I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt....He should get better...i hope

Imagine when Meer and JRich get it going on, this team could be sick.

My solution is to convince Dwight to opt into his final year and chase CP3 in the summer of 2013 where Jameer, Dwight, Turk, JJ expire. We'd have cap space to do some damage.

I have faith that Jameer will turn it around, however I cannot say the same for J-Rich. He just looks old now, and quite frankly he sucked last year too (except in the clutch). I hope some team is stupid enough to take him off our hands later in the season.

Like I have said about JRich, he is what he is. He will give you 2 or 3 good games, followed by a bad game. Nelson just needs to get healthy and I think he will become his 13 to 15 points, 6 assists per game self.

Well that was an exciting finish. Start the quarter down 11 and we come back and win like that. Exciting. Yes we played like crap for 3 quaters, maybe they partied too much on New Years, but to play that bad for 3+ quarters and still win its really impressive. Thats what good teams do.

It really pisses me off that Bargs and Calderon look like MVP's every game they play against us but getting the win is all that matters.
