To quote all of the players "it's a business". Don't make an emotional decision. Yes, get the best thing back that you can, stop making stupid decisions out of spite *GSW cough, cough*. Make your team the best team you can. Period.

No we would rather have a legit dominant center than a 7 footer who is averaging 3 rebounds a night this year.

Fegan's probably told him what to say... No way he would have thought of this IMO. This makes him look good for casual fans... reflecting back to history..

No. Take a chance on us.

Why does he keep saying roll the dice and take a chance... he's making it sound like he would sign with us this summer, which makes absolutely no sense considering he won't even say that he would.

and who says "roll the dice" other than agents.

like his agent specifically told him to use the phrase, "roll the dice"

Shaq was a long time ago, and Dwight being in the western conference is much better than him staying around.

why flip brooks? hes young and on a good deal. we can't flip lopez because we have no center haha

I would rather have JJ play center than to have Lopez on this team..

I don't get all the hate for Lopez on this board. Sure, he's no Dwight, and he needs to work harder at rebounding and defense, but he's a polished offensive center with decent mid-range. We could do much, much worse at center than Brook Lopez.

People on this board make him out to be the next coming of Greg Kite, and it just isn't true.

Exactly, Luke Walton is the biggest clown in the NBA, why "shed" Q and Duhon (I like Q's contract) only to get back a more horrible one in Walton?? Stupid. That being said, ANY deal we make needs to make sure we get back a decent asset or two, and LOTS of capspace for next summer, when we try to make a splash again in the amazing FA pool.

For a late round rookie, that guy has been incredible, and Lopez has his weaknesses but he is very skilled. Get a tough four next to Lopez and some guys who can defend on the wings and he'd be fine. The biggest problem I have with New Jersey is that it's hard to dump some of our crap with them.

If we're forced to deal with NJ, then we'll take what we can get. But if LA is willing to trade us bynum while taking back a few bad contracts, its a no brainer.

InFlames · Post #1176 » by **InFlames** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 3:53 am

We will probably trade for Bynum over the Nets. If Houston offered Lowry I'm sure we would take that instead.

iTs JusT zo · Post #1177 » by **iTs JusT zo** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 3:53 am

I do not want him to go to the lakers, Laker fans are the most arrogant band waggon pieces of crap of all time.

It would hurt, but Bynum could potentially be the best player we could get. Forget the past, do what is right for us now. Depends on the whole offer between teams, but if the Lakers take one or two of our bad contracts and give us Bynum, that would be very enticing.

Take a chance on him again? What a (Please Use More Appropriate Word) (shut up Wanda Sykes, I'll say what I want) thing to say. There aren't any big trades the Magic can make now that don't involve Dwight. This is what we're going with, so you're either in or you're out. It's not that complicated.

Is he suggesting he'll stay? Well if you want to stay, then just opt in for one more year you efftard. Trying to convince the Magic to "take a chance" is an extremely lame attempt at tricking us into not gutting the Nets.

Take a chance. *scoffs loudly*
