Official Speculation Thread (Pt. XLIII Off-Season Edition)

[T-Cat]

This whole page is great. Back to basketball. I like all the lists, but we all know we only have a few more roster slots. Ish/Liggins/O'Quinn fill us up without even looking at free agents from elsewhere. Would you let go of Liggins for Barbosa? Give up on Ish for Jonny Flynn? Pass on Hennigan's first 2nd round pick for Darko, Okur, Oden?

Tough calls.

ready.id sign Flynn instead of Ish.
id keep Liggins cuz Barb isnt that good of a defender and we have a Good Scorer at SG already.
Keep O'quinn but let go of Clark and Sign Oden

You think Hennigan will sign Oden when we have Ayon?

ayons solid guy but i dont think u can Pass up adding the player with the Most Potential should he stay healthy. ayon is more of a PF than Center but he can play both.

I know this tweet/story is from last week. Any other source confirm this?

Carson Ingle ‏@caingle
Per source: #Magic GM Rob Hennigan has hired Shawn McCullion, who coached Hennigan at Emerson as an assistant, to scout east coast colleges

if we got rid of that Turd named DuDu than sure why not sign Barbie

[Blue_and_Whte]

Yeah I'd go Flynn too. I think he was brought in just to fill in until Rubio got there and personaly not really give a chance. For a rebuilding team I'd give him a chance behind jameer.

This is awesome. A great way to get to know Kyle O'Quinn.

good stuff, thanks...he looks small though

^^^I was just about to post that vid of Kyle's road to the draft. This piece was very moving to me because I think it shows more into the culture were trying to really build. Not just from this vid but from other things I've read on this kid, the consensus is yes he can be a contributive NBA player but people have said he's an even better person off the court. I think that will bode well for him here in Orlando and in our transition forward. I do believe that we can bring in great character guys who can also play at a high level and still have great success. That is the SAS/OKC model.

The Magic didn't workout Quinn, but did the Thunder?

[Noonskadoodle]

In my mind we first have to determine whether we should be tanking or trying to add pieces to compete (kinda unlikely).

This D12 thing has to come to an end, one way or another. Either Henny needs to come out & say we are keeping D12 entering the season or we are still looking to move him. Its really handcuffing him from doing anything else.

If we do trade D12 before the season this whole FA list can really be thrown out the window since there will be no need in adding players really. Unless its Flynn (still young & if he figures it out could really help this team in the future) or Oden (Let's "Roll The Dice" once D12 is gone, couldn't really hurt anything)

I like that when someone "And 1's" your post you can click on the number counter next to it and see who agreed with you.

Yeah sorry I'm slow... I just realized I could do that



I'm really looking forward to seeing Andrew and Kyle play for us this season... I think they're going to play above expectations tbh... I like their hustle and attitude (work ethic).

[JTurbo]

Ive gotta think that we are favoring the Houston trade as trade talks came to a halt right around the time they signed their rookies. I always prefered to trade w Houston and hope trade talks start up again at the end of the month. Being a Magic fan from CT I would be stoked for Jeremy Lamb. More athletic than he looka solid defense and a great jumpshot.

Yes Kyle worked out for the Thunder as well as Andrew.

Vorontsevich went head-to-head with Kyle O'Quinn and Andrew Nicholson at Thunder workout a few weeks ago. CSKA Moscow buyout may be issue.

With cap room, hometown ties and two of his best friends on the roster, Atlanta is a dark horse to land Dwight Howard

Josh Smith on Dwight Howard: “He’s the best big man in the league. I’d love to have him. Who wouldn’t?

Anthony Morrow on Dwight Howard to Atlanta: “With me and Josh having a relationship with Dwight, it’s a possibility."

Thanks for the info man. I guess i could've just +1'ed your post, but I didn't think that was enough.
