Saw this on RealGM and didn't see a topic over there. Magic are going to have a beastly defensive frontcourt

[stretch]

yeah, their defense is going to be pretty damn good. Hinrich is a good defender too.

[Leetonidas]

Hawks now have a good rotation at PG in Teague and Nelson as well. From Mike Bibby to this. Nice.

[John Basedow]

that sucks.

[Leetonidas]

Looks like the Magic are serious about keeping Dwight. Getting his buddy next to him and shipping out Nelson will allow them to start Arenas like Dwight wants, hopefully he can regain some of his game although I honestly don't think he will ever be Agent Zero again. Hinrich is also a solid backup PG behind him and a good defender. They should be able to get out of the first round next season.

Good trade for both teams. Josh Smith has got to pull his head out his ass though.

[NewcastleKEG]

You could argue the Hawks are trading away the 2 best players in this 4 player deal

[Ditty]

lol Lakers

[baseline bum]

Wow, big move for Orlando. LOL @ Atlanta having to dump Smith a year after giving Johnson that ridiculous contract.

[hater]

"start Arenas"

:lol

[John Basedow]

Hopefully the Magic fail miserably again this year...then 2013 will still look good.

[Red Hawk #21]

I don't mind trading Josh but I liked the stability and discipline Kirk brought to our team. He's just a player with high bball IQ. But Nelson with JJ should be pretty good tbh

[NBA Champs]

This is late news and pure rumor. I thought you Spur fans were the smarter fans of the bunch...:donkey

[The Gemini Method]

The Magic' IQ would dip/stay the same with Josh Smith..Heirich would improve the PG defense esp. in a conference with the likes of Rose and Wall. However much this is a rumor, Twitter has been pretty spot-on when predicting things...

[Leetonidas]

A source also said discussions between Atlanta and Orlando with Josh Smith going to the Magic are "totally legit." Executives say the Hawks have expressed an eagerness to move Smith and would like to shed salary in the process.

No surprises Magic are going to revamp their roster soon, Dwight made it clear that he won't stay unless the team bulks up the roster.

[endrity]

This doesn't seem very legit to be honest.

[Ace]

Smith will love SVG's shoot as many threes as possible offense...

[Budkin]

Awesome Magic... Dwight ain't going!

[4>0rings]

NBA = Fucked

[DPG21920]

It's hard to believe a report that has the words "totally legit" in it :lol

[Leetonidas]

I know, I never said it was legit, only passing along what I saw online.
