@AlexKennedyNBA: At one point, the Orlando Magic led the Charlotte Bobcats by 20 points. They ended up losing by 16. That's an extremely embarrassing loss.

Hedo + BBD + Duhon for SJax + Gooden + Livingston

Then

JJ for Beasley for Wallace

Hedo is the x factor for this team and he's too unreliable. We need to move away from him. BBD obviously ain't happy, so let's move him.

Dwight
Anderson/Gooden
Wallace/Clark
JRich/SJax
Nelson/Livingston

at least we'd get hustle, and Wallace/Jax/JRich have chemistry together.

I'd do these trades too, but, I would rather have Ersan than Gooden.

Damn, I was hoping that idiot from Twitter wouldn't be mentioned this month... every single time he's mentioned here, a newcomer gets the wrong idea, follows him on Twitter, and then quote's him later on.

Ya, I'm not a huge fan of Magical... but same thing with him, he never says anything definite just says what he's hearing.. a lot things he has said have had some public truth behind them, but ya my bad on the first response. I thought you were speaking of the other guy.

Why does it feel like these kinds of things keep happening to us?

That' makes a 16 pt loss to Charlotte, and a 30 pt loss to New Orleans.

WTF is wrong with this team? I really don't understand all the inconsistency.

I hear ya. MagicConfig probably has a source or two but he ALWAYS integrated his own opinion with what he heard, and tried to pass it off to others. His scenarios were interesting but nothing more valid than any post you could find on here.

I understand it pretty clearly. We live by the 3. We can get huge leads when the 3 ball is falling. But when we struggle with it, we don't have another consistent scoring option. We struggle to score. It's 3 or bust with this team. So we get hot for 4 minutes behind the 3 and garner a huge lead. Then we get cold and just collapse. And I can't blame Stan for that. We have guys that only shoot 3's. No offensive diversity.

+1 when our 3s aren't falling and our spot up shooters are contained... we have no one that can go off the dribble, penetrate and create a shot for themselves or for others... and do it consistently and do it at a high level... this is why I value a guy like Monta Ellis... we need someone like that one our team.

The sad fact of the matter is that even adding someone like Monta or Nash is not going to fix what's wrong with this team. We are just poorly constructed, severely lack athleticism throughout the roster, aging, and locked up by bad contracts. There just isn't a simple fix here.
