Pepper is legitimate, though she doesn't break many stories. If this deal goes down, I'd bet money that the player she heard about who was being prepared to be traded to Orlando was Josh McRoberts.

why is she legitimate? why, being up in the NE area, does she know more than anyone else? not trying to hate on her, just being curious?

I would much rather have McBob, he would IMO be easier to flip than MWP, I also would rather have Blake than duhon so if that works.

This works here and is good for for both at the moment.

D12/Doodie/Jpoor for Bynum/Blake/McBob

plus we shed some long term money

Are assuming he's going to make sane decisions?

But you're probably right. The hope, perhaps an outside chance, would be that he would exercise his option to chase a ring.

from all accounts, Duhon is only guaranteed $1.5m in his final year, versus Blake and his $4mil.

I wonder who it is?


that report came from a writer at Bleacher Report, take it is a large grain of salt


CSNNE reporter Jackie Pepper is hearing the same thing. She's legit.


She reported it first, then his tweets came. He acknowledged that in a tweet.

McBob makes sense but I wouldn't mind MWP coming back, as long as we can ship someone like Turk, Duhon or Q in that deal. This team could use some of MWP's offcourt charisma. haha he has had his downfalls and age is probably catching up to him, but I think he could still provide that perimeter we sorely lack especially against the likes of bigger opponents like LeBron.

I am probably in the minority, but i would prefer BBD over McRoberts. Baby showed he can play, shows heart for the team, wants to be here and played very well when it counted.

Minnesota trades their 21 y.o #2 overall pick for J.Brick and some Laker scrub and you say "I think it works for all sides"...

If i were Dwight i would be begging Hennigan to trade me to LA right now. Play with Kobe/Gasol/Nash ? In LA ? That's a dream scenario.

The Magic board has to fill it's monthly quota of terribly lopsided trade ideas that only the magic would do.

I keep saying this:

Give me:
Bynum/Williams/Rubio for Howard & fills.

Then later we could sign either Ellis or Iggy or both?

Bynum/O'Quin
Williams/BBD/Nicholson
Iggy/Clark/Nicholson
Ellis/JJ
Rubio? Nelson/Westbrook/Ish
