The more I think about it the more I get excited about Harris. We could really use an offensive minded player right now. With Hedo suspended, BBD out, and Mcbob + Ayon both traded I can see him getting mins backing up both Harkless and Nicholson. He will have a nice opportunity here if he shows he has an offensive game.

Really, trading for Afflalo was what messed things up. Redick is the better player, but we are simply in no position to have two SGs on 7-10Mil per contracts. So oh well, it is what it is.

Glad we got some good value out of moving Redick, as opposed to letting him go this summer.

What messed things up was trading for Al Harrignton.

You exceeded my expectations as i never gave you a chance (wanted Granger in that draft) but u turned out 2 be a hell of player. Good Luck.

Also, Good trade Henny. Cant overpay for JJ and atleast he got something back. Henny Pegged Nicholson n O'Quin in the draft who i had never even heard of and they are both doing alright so IN HENNY I TRUST!

SIDENOTE: This trade opens up the backup C minutes for O'Quin. That alone is a positive.

considering that JJ came out a year after Granger, how did you want Granger over Redick when they werent in the same draft?

Can someone post of videos of the two new guys doing something to make trading J.J. hurt a bit less?

This right there is why I don't trust in Henny yet. Harrington was already injured when Henny took on that stupid contract. It was an idiotic move while I am still shaking my head over that acquisition.

Why not just cut McBob?

Is he really that much more valuable as a FA to go to any team than Hakim is???

Anyone know???

Which is why I don't understand why they didn't give jj the deal AA has and move afflalo

Afflalo is actually slightly better...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I`m still baffled by the Mcroberts trade. Some people say to pick his option next season (4 million) but that is not smart. We can sign someone better to meet the salary floor to a one year deal and be done.

Henny's young acquisitions: Vucevic, Harkless, O'Quinn, Lamb, Harris, Jones, Nicholson, Moore.

Not bad. Add to that some draft picks in the future.

Ok I am done PLEASE JUST STFU about it already! Harrington was key in getting that trade worked out we needed him to make money match and dude I don't get the big problem here we aren't gonna use cap space until at earliest after next season when he can be cut for basically nothing. Hennigan was doing the right think he more focused on Vuc Harkless and Affalo who we wouldn't have gotten if we didn't take back Harrington. We aren't gonna be a factor in FA for two more years except it and MOVE ON!!!

Not sure what this means. Anyone?

If the Magic are going to waive Hakim Warrick, then why did they even do the trade. ---> It was clever, used a TPE

Lmao WOj wrote that and the only people who talk **** are Nets fans that are still like BUT THEY COULD'VE HAD LOPEZ, MARSHAWN AND FIRST ROUNDERS THAT TRADE SUCKED FOR THE MAGIC

Steve Kyler ‏@stevekylerNBA

Hearing Orlando used Ryan Anderson TPE to obtain Warrick which would have expired before Magic could use it... Gain TPE from McRoberts

Ah that makes much more sense
