Magic Trying to Get Javaris Crittenton

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

The Orlando Magic have held serious trade talks with the Memphis Grizzlies about point guard Javaris Crittenton.

Crittenton is part of the backcourt logjam in Memphis and would welcome a trade.

"I know there's a lot of interest between the two teams and I have a call in to Otis (Smith) to talk to him about it," his agent Wallace Prather said on Monday. "We know a lot of the players on the Magic team, so it would be a good fit for Javaris."

Crittenton played high school basketball with Dwight Howard.

To get Crittenton, the Magic would most likely surrender veteran shooting guard Keith Bogans and multiple draft picks. Orlando has a glut of shooting guards with Pietrus, Bogans, J.J. Redick and rookie Courtney Lee.

not a bad target for them.

That's a pretty good-sized lineup Orlando can field, assuming this pushes through.

maybe aquiring AJ wil put an end to their chase.

Nah, I don't think Arroyo is coming back.. and Crittenton would still be a good backup PG.

Jeez, if the Lakers had known this, they could have traded him for Dwight Howard.

Dwight might be pushing for him to go there.

they played HS ball together.
