I just can't believe that NOTHING will happen. You would think Alex Martins is pushing for a deal to improve or a trade involving Dwight and a few bad contracts. Maybe we should look into trading Dwight to GS for Ellis and future picks while also unloading hedo or bbd. If we can get the warriors to trade away unprotected 1st round picks, then we can seriously look into trading Dwight to them.

Warriors want a good center... Evans isn't good or a center.

Ramon Sessions and Michael Beasley.

Let's bring 'em in, Otis.

I couldn't find any highlights from this season(for good reason) but since this was from last season you still get a pretty good idea of what his skills are....Good Ball-handling....Decent Passing....Can Shoot....Can Defend....i might get flamed but i think we need a player like Jackson going into the playoffs...been there before and got a ring....Mentally tough player...plus you know he'll have your back....

If we make a move to get him he'll probably be on the bench right? who gets traded for him and whose minutes does he take?

This trade is terrible for the Warriors and would never happen. Billups would retire if he got traded to the them. Evans is not a Center, he's an undersized PF that works hard for rebounds. Plus, they already have a C who's unable to score and that's what they're trying to avoid.

Slightly Off-Topic:

Everytime someone calls SJax "Captain Jack" I think of this song. Pretty famous song here in Europe during the '90s, dunno if anyone else remembers this song

The best deal the Magic can make at this point. All these guys mentioned outside of Ellis (Nash, Jackson, Calderon, Sessions, Beasley etc.) aren't going to get the Magic over the hump.

Nets throw in their pick and the Rockets pick and the Magic go into the draft with 3 picks in the 10-20 range to rebuild.

Hedo is not included, I wouldn't do it. Plus, JRich is actually still a good piece. Why would we help NJ by giving him away?

This trade is more realistic.

Davis and Richardson contracts run a year longer than Turks. Personally I'd want all of the Magic's bad contracts (Nelson, Hedo, BBD, Q-Rich, Duhon, J-Rich) off the books going into the 2014 off season. Also because because BBD is an ass-clown and I can't stand him.

His ring means nothing to us - it was 10 years ago when he played with Parker, Ginobili, Robinson and Duncan. Have you seen him play this year? He looks terrible, old and out of shape now. He's shooting 36% and turns it over a lot. I have a hard time believing he can turn it on at this point in his career after throwing in the towel with the Bucks all season (he'll be 34 next month!). The only reason to trade for him is if we can get rid of a longer contract and convince Dwight it will ultimately allow us to add better pieces in 2013
