Ill take my chances building around a Vuc/Griffin/Ross and a top 5 pick PG this year than with those guys given the choice

Like i said, if we get insanely luckily, AG will turn into Blake some day, but honestly i dont see his offense ever getting to that level and i dont know if he will ever have the size to be a great rebounder, so even if we get lucky AG still might not be as good as blake, and if all we are giving up to upgrade from AG to Blake is Elf, ill take my chances (rivers vs mario is a wash) with griffin


please, people need to stop that already. AG is not going to turn into Blake's brother, let alone Blake.

Did you miss the party where I said it was a best case scenario and even then we would need to get extremely lucky?

I didnt miss that. But to even put it out there is still crazy

The Wizards are apparently willing to send a 2017 first rounder to Minny for Shabazz and his expiring contract.

If they want a backup SF without long term commitment then call in offering Green for that pick. If Minny isn't willing, make sure they know we have a backup offer.

I thought about this same offer yesterday when the rumor was first reported.

Yeah, why not? I would wait until Thursday to see if anyone else is more desperate to shed salaries but I wouldn't be upset at all if we made this deal.

Now with Lou out that moves Washington up to bat and the pieces should continue to fall as teams fall back on their secondary back burner deals.

I see Utah wants Deron Williams back.

Sources told me Nick Young( Swaggy P) got some of his swag from being a pro bodysurfer. He can't wait to show new teammate Corey Brewer how to bodysurf and show that swag.

Gordon is now our PF.

Green would be outgoing.

Ross is better suited to be a 6th man at SG.

Really we only have Mario. But that might change in the draft (Jackson / Isaac).

Trading for Chandler and drafting Dennis Smith could be a nice turn around.

We do? Who? Mario is not a SF too weak too thin, Ross? Not really a 3, AG? Not a 3, fournier? Might be the only one who can really play 3 but isn't a good enough defender to play the 3

I really don't see the point. What does this really accomplish? Enough with these middling players. We need a star. Tank, tank, tank!

Since we'really getting our "star" in the draft what's wrong with a capable scorer and defender at the 3?

Because we need to lose as many games the rest of this season as possible. Adding better players to the team now does not help that.

If there is nothing available..... i'm fine with that.... rather than taking shots just to say we made another trade. Enjoy gordon back at the pf postion.... and ross as a new player.... and embrace the tank

Allright I'm about done with the Magic Johnson tweets. We have a team called the Orlando Magic so lets use his real name Irving Johnson so I don't freak out every 3rd tweet on my timeline thinking something with us went down.

Return to Orlando Magic
