Lamb at the corner 3 could be great for him, it's the most open and effective 3 spot for the Magic and league. His handle and cuts look solid too.

Denton laying down the Magic side:

Reading it makes it slightly clearer why the Magic didn't want to resign JJ and even though 20's pick(s) offers were secured (via Woj), the Magic declined those offers for a chance to get Tobias Harris and Doron Lamb (and vet Udrih).
The 'Cats gave undisclosed amount of Cash with Warrick, it's unclear who was doing it for money reasons and roster reasons but its a very minor trade anyways. Expiring contracts both ways, Magic moving to waive Warrick immediately, 'Cats get a solid vet in McRoberts.

They save like 800k or something around there.

Nice. You caught me very jacked up on Caffein being business has been booming for weeks now so much that everyone is wired and overwhelmed plus staff complaining over the schedule I did for March . . . I am going a million miles a minute doing multiple things at once. I need a laid back job.

Anyways, this is what I hope for from Henny as I have mentioned this before and TideRulz again.

Henny needs to buyout Al Harrington. Because, I think if Al Harrington is cut this summer, he will cost 50% of his remaining contract. Thus, maybe Henny can buy him out for lets say 35 to 45% of his contract in one swoop and that amount will only count against the 2013/14 season. That would be optimal in which the Magic would have the most money to spend during the summer of 2014.

And, then I would praise Henny and make all you all very happy reading BadMofoPimps posts again . . .

Who are the 2014 FA targets we're willing to spend big $$ on?

Wish we got a pick in this deal, but it seems fair enough.

Maybe we can use the TPE on draft night to get a better pick or trade up in the draft

Getting Tobias Harris is like getting a draft pick.

It would be smart to wait until 2015.

Draft Wiggins or Parker in 2014 (it could be enough to reach the play offs that season) and wait another season.

Rondo, Love and LMA will be free agents in 2015.

Both Redick and Ayon were expirings like Udoh. While Meer is injured, Udoh will help out nicely just in time. And, the rest was really replacing Ish for rookies.

Maybe someone can explain this to me, but what is the grand fascination with the FA class of 2014? Do we really have a chance to sign anyone of value, let alone two players of value, or is just gonna be lets overpay for Rashard all over again?

We did not get Udoh we traded for Udrih the PG. Ekpe Udoh is a PF

I know the 3 big names in FA will be Bosh, James, & Wade if they all use their ETO's in the contracts

Oh man this topic is funny, reminds me of when we traded dwight
"WAH WAH WE GOT NOTHINGZ IN RETURN"
Several months later, Henny is looking pretty good.

It's easy to say "WE SHOULDA GOTTEN THIS" But you have to learn what supply and demand is, Henny pretty much got a 1st and a 2nd for Redick. Harris is 20 **** years old and has a 15/7 per36 as a starter, calm the **** down guys, JJ was not going to stay which few of you seem to understand

Name of the game is assets, henny is using the morey approach, all the assets will help us manuever later

What messed things up was trading for Al Harrignton.

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.

he was in the deal for salary reasons, and by the way insurance is paying 80% of his contract :roll:

Prediction: James will have a falling out with the Heat, decides to come to the heats rival (us) and by then our rookies should have good experience and well developed and we go on to win the championship 5 times in a row

General impression I got from everyone here is they're happy with the trade. LBJ is going back to Cleveland to play with Irving, IMO.
