No defense in this game....but footage

lol.

Pulls up and drills a 3 in somebody's face = no reaction.

Uncontested, unspectacular 2 handed dunk = "OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

So in a few years if both Harris and Harkless turn out do we have to trade one?

The cycle that never ends

Harris and Harkless are more different from each other than Afflalo and Redick. Harris is more of a combo 3/4, but Harkless is only a 3. Harris has some more offensive skill than Harkless, but isn't as good a defender. All that to say, Harris and Harkless can potentially compliment each other.

However, you want to sell high, so if its best for the team to trade a redundant player for a player who fills a need, then that's what you should do. The NBA's CBA just isn't set up for keeping your whole team for a long period of time.

I think trading JJ was the right thing to do because the Magic were going to lose value by not trading him and by not signing him. We'll have to wait, like we have to do with all trades, to see if Rob picked the right players to get in return.

omg we wouldn't include Ellis. We don't have Josh Smith right now because we wouldn't trade Monta Ellis. Kill me.

Good trade.

Harkless and Harris competing for minutes is a good thing

Nah....

Holy Crap! That makes so much sense. Way to secure the overall 1st pick in the draft.

Henny for President!!!

Really sad to see JJ go.

I wish him the best. Hopefully he gets that one big contract in the summer. He's earned it.

I'm really hoping someone tells Noel to stay for another year.

Bye Redick. You will be missed buddy. You were by far my favorite Magic player and I wish you well in your future. Time to change the avatar

I hope we keep Jameer til he retires.

Keep an eye on this. If Mcbob gets minutes and has a few good games while being the difference maker in just (1) or (2) games even, then that could be the difference in records, LOL.

It'll be a while until I get over this. It's like losing Rashard Lewis all over again.

It seems like the Magic were trying to keep cap space open. Warrick deal = puzzling, but it might be about being over salary floor in 13-14

There's something up with the Warrick deal. I hope someone in the media questions Hennigan when he briefs them about the deals.
