If you were both, in this case he claims to be, you would be bouncing off the wall.



He's not a Magic fan. He's a Knicks fan. I agree with your post though.

We should also actually wait and see what happens before bashing Rudolph. Just because it hasn't happened hours after he reported it doesn't mean it isn't true.

Slowing down too much, I don't see it happening IMO.

Kaman and Hedo is a pretty weak return for GSW. Unless, they believe they can sell Dwight on signing there inthe summer, and they wanna use Kaman to clear enough space and Hedo as some kind of 'draw card'?

But its just so much more fun to overreact and bash whoever says something from "sources" that does not happen :D

Hoopsworld on Twitter says Blazers and Lakers may explore a Felton for Steve Blake swap.

Why in the world would Portland do that?

I have no opinion or Rudolph one way or the other. he could be 100% legit or 100% fake. But to be a poster on this board and bash him is completely ridiculous. The purpose of message boards like this one is to DISCUSS news, RUMORS, etc. If all you're looking for is 100% confirmed stories just wait for tomorrows newspaper.

If the slightest rumor gets posted and throws off your entire days schedule, maybe you lack the self-discipline to be on a message board. Grow up people.

Yes, we'll see, but he also hyped up Iggy to ORL trade multiple times leading up to draft night...

I think they would get Hedo too, but JJ and Orton would go to NOH.

They will be a confident team for the playoffs.

Curry/JJ/Hedo/Anderson/Kaman
Robinson/Rush/Thompson/Lee/Brown

Nelson/Ellis/Wright/BBD/Howard
Duhon/JRich/Wafer/Clark/Biedrins

I think Wright could be a good fit, when he plays like last year.
Nelson and Ellis together! Defensively a nightmare.
Starting BBD and Duhon, Wafer, Clark and Biedrins as backups, OMG!
I think its a horrible trade scenario for us.
The only good thing about is that Dwight would stay, but we won't be confident next two years.


Just looking at the Lineups, it seems the Magic get worse to me or not enough of an upgrade to convince Dwight.

I still think Hedo >>> Dorrell

Thus,

is Ellis >>> JJ and Ryno.

I think you don't make this trade for Ellis unless Dwight AT LEAST OPTS IN for another year.

"Sources" what sources? Seriously, I think that everybody is gasping for straws right now, I think this deal wont happen at all. In other news, NFL FA starts in a couple of hours.

When Dwight opts in, but we are not confident, why should we make this trade?

Please God give us that deal. A go-to scoring guard, solid 3 point shooter, and true back up big for Dwight. I'd hate to see Ryno and JJ go, they've grown a lot. I just can't see it happening, but trust me I'd be delighted to be wrong. :D

Don't like this trade, maybe if it involed Meer insted of JJ... Anyways GS gets the best of this trade and we become actually worse! BBD as a starter? Meer and Ellis backcourt? I'll pass.
