The OP is currently at 1391 10/15 pages total.
One page equals 15 posts.

-Let's discuss every news & rumor (from news articles, facebook/twitter, billboards, magazines, TV/Internet/Radio, etc.) that is occurring around the league (even if it is directly or indirectly affecting the Magic).

-March 1st is when Trade Restrictions are lifted, and March 15th is the Trade Deadline.

-Remember, whatever happens... happens. We will always be Orlando Magic Fans. Forever. Let's do this. GO MAGIC!

It feels like someone always says this but, hopefully we can get something done during this thread.

I hope in part 15 we trade away #15.

Orlando Magic face brutal schedule as Dwight Howard decision looms
Team looks to solve maddening inconsistency
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/o ... ?track=rss

Beginning Thursday and carrying over until next Wednesday is one of the toughest stretches for the Orlando Magic.

They face the Bulls in Chicago Thursday, followed by games against the Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs.

And that portion of schedule isn't even close to what makes the next week or so the most critical of the season.

There's a little matter of whether Dwight Howard still will be on the team by the end of the business day next Thursday...

Something is going down in this thread! I'm calling it!!

Either that, or I'm jumping off the SunTrust building

something has to happen on chapter 15 right?!?!?!?

thelead · Post #11 » by **thelead** » Thu Mar 8, 2012 3:56 am

I've accepted that we're going to do nothing, let Dwight walk, and then overpay the next non allstar. I should start a new hashtag #OTISWINNING

Warriors want Joe

That says they don't want Joe even though they can get him. They want Josh. And Dwight. :lol:

gs is the most annoying team right now. everyone knows they have to trade monta to let curry develop or just trade curry. i don't see them getting a great player for ellis.

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7jdeqzh
this trade would actually make gs better imo: curry/thompson/ariza/lee/kaman

then trade turk and a pick for sjax and we got: monta/jrich/sjax/anderson/dwight. ill keep dreaming

Curry has developed fine alongside Ellis. His development is stunted by injuries. And if the Warriors aren't going to get a "great" player for Ellis, why trade him?
