I see us slipping into the 7th or 8th spot.

In a weak ass East, I see us as a playoff team... which sucks because I'd rather be a lottery squad and rebuild through the draft.

Ok so who's doing the NO TO LOPEZ petition or strike in front of the Amway center?

Seriously just think about, regardless of the situation if we do that deal I think it is easily one of the worst trades in NBA history.

I don't believe Rudolph. Not that I think he is lying, but I think he is stating what he thinks Dwight believes, which is that the trade will go through. I hope anyway, because...bad the trade is bad.

Nets are probably saying "we have to re-sign him at max cause we're gonna take back bad contracts"

Sorry, I'd rather buyout Hedo next season than pay Brook Lopez max for the coming years ..

This x100. Giving Brook Lopez max? That's setting up for failure.

So what exactly would we get in return? Lopez, Brooks, and a slew of 1st rounders from Brooklyn?

Nets gave away their 1st rounders to ATL for Joe Johnson. I assume it would be a slew of 2nd rounders.

They only gave Atlanta expiring contracts, no picks.

Not really. Nelson and Redick will help us win. That way we won't be getting a top draft pick. So let's fight hard for that 10th seed! WINzzzZZZzz Baby!!!

If we trade Dwight to Brooklyn and allow him to get his money and we get back garbage like Lopez and that ball-hog Brooks I will not buy any more tickets to Magic games, I will remove my Florida Magic plates (that I've had for 15+ years), I will stop following the team completely. I'm an original fan from '89 and have spent thousands on tickets over the years. I almost quit over the Tmac thing but stuck around. If we cave on thei Dwight thing I'm done - this team ownership has demonstrated it has no spine for years now and we always seem to get out-manuevered. I think it's time for this town to vote on this franchise's incompetence by withholding our support.

**** the Lakers and Nets I`m not trading him to those teams.

magic04life · Post #432 » by **magic04life** » Thu Jul 5, 2012 9:05 pm

Damn, we should have done that trade with Houston for their three picks on draft night.

That's looking really good right now

Okay guys, I need a break from RealGM. I'll be back later.

I'm so sick of waiting. Make a GD decision! Somebody offer Ryan a contract. Do something.

I stand corrected.

Guess he is going to Brooklyn.

So has anyone seen the new Spiderman movie?

Did we show any interest in Jason Kidd? he just signed a very affordable contract and I consider him an upgrade over Jameer.

@MagicTownBaller ... I sent this to your Xbox Live, but since I see you're posting right now, I'll just say it again... I'll post the updated page count and links for you whenever Part 31 is closed by the mods (so I can add the official number)... :lol:

I can't believe that shot up to 116 pages lol.
