For how many millions/year did Jameer sign ?

We don't have as much space as calculated in that post. Add about $8 mil in cap holds and it doesn't look nearly as good.

What cap holds would those be? This all we got on the roster. No more. No less. I guess you could add a few more million for the 2013 draft pick, but until we actually draft some one, we won't know how much that is worth.

There are cap hold for each position on the roster that is not filled yet (up to 12 spots). Some of us discussed this a few days ago.

Absolutely, but the cap projections he made were assuming we didn't trade ANY of our bad contracts and made no additional moves and we'd still have about 21 million in space. What people fail to realize is that we are not starting from a zero cap space in 2013 position - the Magic are starting from approx 21 million in space and moving from there.

By the time we're ready to compete again, Nelson will be retired. It's not Rob's fault but he's certainly piling on here. A better turnaround here would have been to trade Dwight for Bynum trade everything else away for expirings, get a solid lotto pick, and sign a few free agents with your cap space.

Bynum
BBD
FA (Josh Smith)
Lotto pick (Shabazz)
FA (Monta)

That sounds like a good rebuild plan.

Man... it's a shame Henny had ALL OF THAT just sitting on the table in front of him and turned it down.

It's a plan not stopgap. Jameer is a stopgap that helps nothing but the culture of the team. Considering most of this team will not be here in three years, what does team culture matter.

That's it ... duck and weave.

reported 3 years 19.7 million, third year is an option, but we dont know if it's team or player

[MagicTownBaller]

would it shock anyone if dwight signed an extension with us?

It wouldn't shock me one bit. He's like a Magikarp, he just keeps flip flopping.

i feel the same way... i'd look at it, read the article and then be like ok... then he would demand a trade after being locked in for 4 years haha... dwights evil genius plan...

Hold dwight till the deadline let the market open up for him with teams willing to rent him for a run at a title.

The market for teams willing to rent Dwight will grow smaller, not larger at the dealine. It is as good as it is gonna get right now. The less games they have to rent him, the less interested they are in having him.

WRONG.
WRONG.
WRONG.

Trams get delusions of grandeur when they think they are one piece away from a title - especially when they perform above expectations and want to seize an opportunity. Happens every year in ALL sports.

Dwight to Rockets unlikely cause Lowry traded to Raptors.

If the rockets get the raptors #1 thsi year, i would say thats more valuable than lowry himself. The raptors arent very good and that pick will be fairly high, which will really help our rebuilding alot more than a slightly above average PG would

Id take that pick and their 3 rookies over any other offer ive heard about so far

maybe... if they throw in their pick next year, toronto's pick, jones, lamb, parsons, and martin's expiring... i might actually do that

Pretty sure they traded their own 2013 #1 to the nets last year (which was traded to the haws in the joe johnson trade)
