Who is ready to stay up and call in?!!!

Forget all them. I know the loyal fans on here & we will all stick together through this upcoming season. 8-)

Although Evan Turner would have made this deal hell of a lot better.

EVERY Team in this trade gets a current all-star except Orlando.

Ha-Ha-Ha! WOW!

Honestly this trade is mediocre at best. It could turn positive with dither a) another player or b)us unloading turk

Turk/JRich/Duhon ALL have to be going for this to make sense. Also, if we do not get throwins like Eyenga/Ebanks/Morris/etc. something is seriously wrong..Top 3 player in NBA and cant even get young assests thrown in??? wow.

The Magic have to be tanking because Hedo is still and will be an integral part of this team.

Let the tanking begin!!! Cant wait!!

I'll be watching a lot of NCAA this season. That's for sure!

so.... what's the long term plan here?

Afflalo is obviously key to this. Hennigan either believes he's got big potential, or believes he's great value for the contract he's signed to.

here's the pipe dreaming optimist in me... Hennigan knows that Oklahoma will need an affordable alternative to Harden moving forwards, and maybe Afflalo is that piece? paying Afflalo $7M per season as opposed to a max/near max deal for Harden could become a very real factor in a future deal?

Hmmm...
According to the delusional posters who approve of this trade...

Apparently the plan is to bypass all the top 20 talent in future drafts and stockpile as many late first round picks as possible so Henny can show off how good of a drafter he is.

Sound about right?

Is this for real? Did you forget assets for trading into lotto? Did you forget the Magics own picks?

That Afflalo tweet made me barf. Hopefully Stern overrides this?

He makes it sound like he's trying to make lemonade.
