ironically, i'd say that taking the time to post a message stating how much of a waste of time it is to discuss something in a thread entitled "speculation thread", is probably the greater waste of time.

but hey, what do i know, i'm not from the internet police. can i go now officer?



I agree with you, Z.

very plausible.

a deal like that would probably also be a big signal towards the direction of the team (ie, looking to clear cap room for next summer), and would also be a give away in terms how important clearing deals like JRich/Turk off the books will be for us when negotiating with other teams either for Howard or other deals.


I was thinking that too, maybe the deal is abnormal and would signal some sort of plan or vision from the FO they don't want out there right now.


My thoughts exactly.

David Baumann ‏@DavidBaumann33
@Mike_Dhillion The Magic have always kept terms of deals confidential, however, sometimes the player or agent admits to the figures.


See, I dunno if we're looking too far into it because it's "new news", but I've got a feeling there's something to it. "Keep things sealed"? I mean, at "Hennigan's request"? In my mind, It's just ONE piece to the puzzle.

Chad Evans ‏@ChadEvansNBA

Hypothetical: Bynum goes to the Magic, they make him the main option and target a big free agent next summer. Wil he stay after the season?

Chad Evans ‏@ChadEvansNBA

The answer is yes. No I am not starting a Bynum to Orlando rumor. I'm just debunking any reports that they he doesn't like Orlando.


:pray: Getting Bynum long term isn't bad either..

I believe you have been warned about your childish and boorish behavior. I suggested to you some time ago to skip over my post's. And you can not even be original.

Chandler Parsons.

Before him, it was Nick Anderson.

Maalik Wayns left Villanova a year early to pursue his dream of playing in the NBA. It appears that dream will come true, in his hometown no less.

A source confirmed Saturday that Wayns has agreed to a free-agent deal with the 76ers.

The deal reportedly is similar to the one Lavoy Allen received after the Sixers took him in the second round of the 2011 NBA Draft, No. 50 overall, the source said. Allen reportedly received a $60,000 signing bonus and then received the rookie minimum of $473,604 after making the team.

Man, when will this D12 saga end? We need to sign some players and have a roster for the next season!

Welp, guess we still have Ish Smith & Kenny Anderson available.

funny, my post was imitating you, and even you recognize it as childish and boorish.

don't expect me to skip over your posts if you're going to quote me and comment on a conversation that i'm involved in. what you did right there was trolling, which i believe you've already been warned about.

I had a workout for a basketball team in Hasselt (pretty sure it was Hasselt) in 2002, that was actually a pretty decent team with alot of foreign players. After my workout they asked my dad how much money I was looking for, where I was expecting to have to pay to play :P

After all I decided to go to PSV Eindhoven (I was living in Maastricht back then)..

Just thought I would share :wink:

It's weird other than this whole dwight crap, the other transaction I'm anticipating the most is "Magic waive Chris Duhon" or he's included in one of the rumored trades.

How much time is wasted for a post that's complaining about the time wasted complaining about a post?

(FWIW, this process can repeat infinately, as someone can complain about my complaining about your complaining about Zmill's complaining)
