bold prediction: If Ellington is available at #37, Spurs will pick him.
The Magic will be good.

It's going to be interesting to see that lineup together next year (if they can stay healthy)
I'd be happy with that. Athletic, good shooter and could grow into being a good defender. He'd make Mason even more tradeable and would be good insurance if Mason leaves in free agency.
Magic get Carter AND Ryan Anderson!?!?
Chad Ford now says:
The New Jersey Nets have agreed to a trade in principle with the Magic that will send Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson to Orlando for Rafer Alston, Tony Battie and Courtney Lee, two league sources told ESPN.com.

The 2010 NBA playoffs are shaping up to be a bloodbath.
yep, pretty much head and shoulders above a Parker-Ginobili-Jefferson-Duncan-Bonner/Rasheed/Dice/Gortat/Zaza/Gooden lineup. By a clear margin. And with Pietrus off the bench.
meh
id take a
Parker
Manu
RJ
TD
Sheed
lineup over that, especially in the 4th.
but thats a damn scary Magic lineup with a lot of firepower.
God the Magic just butt raped the Nets...
RJ looks like a** if the Spurs do not add very quality big men.
Head and shoulders?
Uh
not quite.
I will say something that was unimaginable to say few years ago:
Spurs are lucky to be in the western conference.
Are they going to resign Hedo? If not, is Hedo for 10M while keeping Lee not better than VC for 16M with an extra year on his contract?
Eh, I wouldn't wave the white flag just yet. That's a lot of ego. If Howard didn't think he got the ball enough as it was, adding Carter to the equation doesn't solve that.
Plus a healthy Parker and Ginobili are both better than than the second and third player on the Magic. If Duncan can battle Howard to a draw, the Spurs next three should be able to more than hold their own.
no way they keep turkoglu now anymore right?
It's a buyer's market. Peter needs to open up the safe at Holt CAT HQ and take out the gold bars.
Before or after he has to lay off another 1500 workers.
I'm not waving a white flag, but on paper, I like that lineup significantly more. They made the finals with Lee and a disposable Alston and add Carter. Spurs got rolled in the first and add Jefferson and bring back Ginobili, if he doesn't fall apart again. And still don't have a legit starting big next to Duncan with no guarantee to get one.
I agree that adding RJ is useless if we don't get a big man, and it looks like the front office agrees with that..there's no way they wouldn't agree..the Spurs off-season is FAAAAR from done..
I wonder where Hedo is going now..Portland?..
BTW, Carter or not, Orlando isn't winning a le unless Howard improves his offense..
I would agree, however supposedly that Ryan Anderson kid has some serious potential. NJ is a huge loser in this deal, worse than Milwaukee
This is a lot to take in. Things are moving so fast. Like I said, the RJ move means nothing right now and this was before the Cavs got Shaq and the Magic got VC. If the Lakers resign Odom and Ariza, the Spurs will have to sign or trade for another significant piece (big) in order to have any realistic chance of competing.
Oh ya, they have to hope Manu and Tim stay healthy.
Hedo for 10M + Lee+ Alston+ Battie = 22.7M
Gortat for 5.8M + VC+ Anderson = 23.5M
It isn't even July 1st yet and things are getting real interesting this offseason. The playoff's are going to be a bloodbath, atleast in the eastern conference. I can't believe this is happening...east getting better than west? at least at the top...
Ya, but what about next year? Battie and Alston were expiring.
