I can obviously see Hennigan trying to move Al Harrington, Quentin Richardson and maybe Josh McRoberts and the later might have the most value as a big/expiring.

Some moves will definitely be made to pair down this roster.

expirer only has real value though when you take a big/longer contract back. Otherwise, why get them?

Stans the one who sealed the deal by embarrassing Dwight in the media after it seemed he had come around to the idea of staying with us. Remember the picture on the plane and all that team bonding and crap? Then SVG opened his big fat mouth as he always does and created a sht-storm. Should have been fired on the spot.

McRoberts is a serviceable player and the fact he is expiring makes him more attractive.

The Magic are not going for cap space in 2013 so McRoberts can be used more easily as filler/incentive in a deal. Things are always more flexible with expirings although The Magic might not want to take back an extra year with all of the guaranteed deals.

It's really just more flexiblity to make a move and I do think McRoberts can at least fetch a good second round pick.

McRoberts was nearly traded to Memphis with a 1st round pick for Mayo. Maybe we can offer a trade for Wroten?

Possible, I think we can all agree that moves are going to be made soon with training camp coming up.

the problem with us trying to make moves before camp, it seems like a lot of front offices are on vacation. that can/will/may roadblock us in trying to get something done sooner than later.

Niece idea, really. "Sorry Henny, I can't make any trade with you now, I'm on vacation" :lol:

Lol @ SVG. I'm so glad we got rid of these terrible characters on this team. Glad we are cleaning house. The more guys like SVG talk and spew, the more I have faith in Hennys direction for this team. Vaughn will be a breath of fresh air.

Nyce_1 · Post #573 » by **Nyce_1** » Mon Aug 13, 2012 1:56 pm

any word out there about us building our coaching staff? Those guys are who will be key to the development of our young players.

One thing for sure, I hope we get a solid big-man coach.

Vaughn is a lame duck coach to make sure this team sucks. I bet Stan could have worked wonders with a young team.

History says Stan wouldn't play anyone outside of Jameer, Hedo, Harrington, Afflalo and Redick.

Stan ALSO said he would LOVE to be back in Orlando to coach the team this year....so he seemed to be quite fine with the organization until they fired him...

Not playing them would have worked wonders, absolutely.

Nelson
Redick
Afflalo
Harrington
Davis

Afflalo doesnt play well at 3, he needs to play at 2.
