This. I'm ok with giving Harkless a bit more burn against NY again.

I'm okay with Afflalo being out against the Knicks.

Moe is a puerto rican kid from Queens that went to St. Johns, he obviously loves playing in NY; his best two games have come against the Nets & Knicks. Too bad we can't play in NY every game on the road.

Yeah, Moe seemed to be pumped when he was in New York the other nights game and the last time we played the Knicks. I feel he's going to be just as aggressive if not more for this game.

Most likely #Magic SG Arron Afflalo will NOT play tonight vs. #Knicks. He is out with a left calf strain. He also missed Monday's game.

Not good. Need someone to keep up with JR Smith

I feel a trade is brewing involving AA or Redick.

Any ideas? Or just speculation on why he is sitting out

Redick and McRoberts for Lamb, Perkins, and the T-Dot pick.
Gustavo Ayon and cash for Gary Neal and a 2nd round pick

Just speculating because ever since his name was mentioned in tweets about a week ago or so, Afflalo hasn't played well or is sitting out. Either they are holding him out because he may be traded or they are holding him out to boost Redicks value. But, I have a feeling something is going to happen . . .

I like how Clark can shoot now that he's with the Lakers.

While Lamb and Toronto pick via OKC sound amazing, I'd rather not trade anyone if we can get a 2014 lotto pick later by saving the best assets. I'd likewise look at resigning JJ if it can be done at a solid contract, he's too good for the team and a potential trade chip later on again. Maybe trading for something that a team would trade a 2014 lotto pick for makes sense, especially if its 3 wayed right away. But lotto guessing a 2014 season this early is probably a little more a problem than advantage.

How good do you guys think Vuc can become? Ever since that performance against the Heat he's been on a tear. In the last 13 games he's put up 14.5 ppg, 13 rpg, 1.7 apg, and 1.3 bpg on 56% from the floor and 73% from the line in 36.5 MPG. Pretty impressive for a second year player IMO. It is also good to see that with increased minutes he is producing even more.

Yesterday, re-tweeted by Harkless. I think he's referring to our recent stretch of lost games.

AA isnt going anywhere, I'm not getting my hopes up, I wish he would, but he won't. Its not that I dislike the guy, I think he's a good player but he isn't the answer IMO. Saying all that I don't see Hennigan etc trading the main part of the Howard trade so early, it would make more sense to hold on to him and trade him in a year when his contract looks even better for a 2014 pick

Jose to Boston for a lottery protected pick (and filler) would be my guess.

How is that? Memphis drops a SF and get just a PF in return to play behind Randolph. Sure, they save money, but basically just took themselves out of any chance they had of competing for a title.
