Official Speculation Thread (Pt XIV, Mods Close))

Tick tock tick tock

I resigned myself to not even worry about it most of the day because our company is so busy and I got lots going on after work now. Besides, nothing will happen until the summer concerning Dwight. Magic may tweak the roster before the deadline to try and make Dwight happier with the team. I would rather focus on the games instead of speculation. I mainly post to give an opposing opinion to posters posting Dwight trades.

^^^ I'm all for tobias Harris and John LEuer if it nets us SJAx. Seriously though, backup big and dwight's buddy for the right deal sounds very nice

[JarethCutestory]

I'd take Harris and Daye if Ryan was shipped in another deal. I'd give up Orton for either in a heartbeat. Other than that these are just minor moves that could make an impact but nothing all worldly.

3 point shooting teams don't win championships either.

The Mavs?

They're not a 3 point shooting team.

How do you define a 3 point shooting team than?

In last year's finals series the mavs attempted 134 threes in 6 games, 22.33 per game

In last year's first round series the magic attempted 141 threes in 6 games, 23.5 per game.

Is the diffrence between a three point shooting team and a non three point shooting team comes to about 1 three point attempt per game?

I would love to get Jordan farmar regardless of a dwight trade.

Robin lopez and anthony randolph would be better than anything we got as a backup center and anything to keep davis from playing is a positive imo.

[BadMofoPimp]

If we need a playmaker for cheap, is it time to revisit OJ Mayo?

Yes.

I am very scared for this team if they have to think OJ Mayo, a 26.5 mpg backup that can't beat Tony Allen for a starting spot as a "Playmaker" who would make a difference.

What would we have to give up for this Prized player? I think Wafer is as good as O.J. Mayo and JJ Redick is better than Mayo.

I think Stan and Otis already know this. We need a starting or backup pass first PG!

[The Real Dalic]

I would like Toney Douglas here as backup PG instead of Duhon.

Yet while there would be even more reason for optimism if the Magic could find some help for Howard, two sources close to the situation said their reported attempt to land Ellis simply never happened. Warriors owner Joe Lacob is obsessed with the far-fetched thought of landing Howard himself, and chances are he wouldn't green-light any move -- even if it was a three- or four-team situation -- that helped Orlando keep Howard.

This is the same guy who gave david lee an 80 mil contract, and did not amnesty biedrens. Not very much sense in anything he does basketball wise.

[BadMofoPimp]

Right there is a reason why the Warriors will always be a middle of the road team. Their owner has the delusion that his assets are worth more than they are and that players would actually consider playing for a owner like him. I reckon he must be used to disappointment by now. Wait, didn't Otis Smith used to work for him. he is used to disappointment.

I think a combo of Jameer and JJ should be able to get Durant. We might have to throw in a couple of picks but we'd probably consider it.

Reading about the Warriors makes sense why Otis is so bad as a GM...

that same guy used the amnesty clause on a $4million dollar expiring contract, that organization sucks

If that owner was the owner while Otis was there... a BIG yup!

Is the owner (Please Use More Appropriate Word)? They don't have enough assets to trade for Dwight. Even if they do, would they give it all to rent Dwight for 2 months?

[Nyce_1]

someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that Sam Amick piece about the Warriors a few days old?
