As a spot up shooter I do think JRich is the better more consistent shooter. And the problem is Beasley is almost a redundant talent with D Williams and Beas cant play the 2 whereas Rich can. So yes the sg next to his name does make him a better fit with the TWolves

So a guy has a better 3PT% than Richardson's FG% and you won't acknowledge that he may be the better shooter? Beas and Williams are redundant like Igoudala and Turner. they play the same position, but that doesn't mean you trade get rid of one for nothing. The Wolves are a young team, they know Richardson is not a long term solution for them. Hitching themselves to him for 3 more years is not in their plan. They either want a pick or a young guy like OJ Mayo.

The Wolves have said they went to bring ina Veteran or 2 to balance out that young team and on top pf that they need a SG, so it could work

If the Magic decide to trade Dwight Howard, sources close to the center believe it'll be to a team that'll rent him, not a team on his list

Alex Kennedy ‏ @AlexKennedyNBA
With that said, the Magic haven't given any indication that they're ready to move Howard. It's very possible they'll keep him past March 15.

Alex Kennedy ‏ @AlexKennedyNBA
From what I hear, the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors are among the teams willing to trade for Dwight Howard as a rental.

Alex Kennedy ‏ @AlexKennedyNBA
There's also the possibility that a team acquires Dwight Howard with the understanding that he'll opt-in next season, like Chris Paul in LA.

There is no way they are gonna let Pekovic go, he has great chemistry with K.Love, we nned to let these Monta Ellis dreams trad scenarios go, i want him as much as you guys but the Warrior are not gonna help us at all in any kind of trade that would help keep Dwight.

Not even if they get Daniel Orton in return?

@AlexKennedyNBA That's definitely true of Houston. They hope Hakeem could convince Dwight to stay long-term. Only way they get an All-Star.

wtf is going on in the league.... :nonono:

Memphis probably will not agree to this deal but if Zack Randolph is not looking good to make it for the playoff then they could bite but its a long shot at best

Why would the Cavs trade Sessions for Orton and Duhon?

Lets be clear here. There is NO WAY Memphis gives up their starting point guard for Glen Big Baby Davis.

I actually think half his magic info is from this forum. He used to post here as Swish or something back in the day, so its definitely a resource hes familiar with...

low salaries that doesn't hurt their Cap Room and they get a project player in Orton

Mayo is a bench guy not their starter( Conley is) but i know they probably won;t go for this deal just like i said in the original post

Anyone think this Beasley move could be to replace Ryno in a potential trade? WOuld kinda fit the stretch 4 role if you know what i mean...

toquito · Post #314 » by **toquito** » Fri Mar 9, 2012 12:10 am

lol It's just insulting that teams like GS and Houston think they can keep Howard. It's like they're practically saying "We think our city is better than yours".

Thought about that as well. Maybe we have to trade Ryan to get Nash and we want Beasley to replace him.

i wonder what Houston would give up for a Dwight rental.....
They have some very nice young players on cheap contracts...
Actually look at all their contracts please...only Scola long term..and almost every player got a team option..perfectly managed...just like us :lol:

It would make sense (and be an Otis thing to do) to replace Ryan with another stretch 4. Lets hope theres another deal on the table ready to go on condition Otis can source a Ryno replacement.
