I love J-Rich while he's been in Phoenix but tbh I can't see how this is going to work.

I know Hedo has sucked @Toronto and Phoenix, but he is a great fit for Orlando
If the trade goes down, watch out
Well i guess we know that CP3 will not be joining D12 anytime soon in ORL
Good trade to dump Carter and Lewis but Magic are thin up front. Who's going to play back up on Dwight?
Hedo isn't a good fit anywhere.
I meant 15th seed.
So is this the lineup
PG: Nelson
SG: Arenas
SF: JRich
PF: Hedo
C: Howard
That team needs a serious pass first PG
hedo fit with the magic in 09. At least give him that![]()
He didnt even fit in with the Turkish National team![]()
Malik Allen - back-up C for Orlando?!
Like I said in another thread a few days ago..Orl wasnt gonna get anywhere as is so you might as well bring in some changes. Good for them IMO. Carter is fragile as & is extremely inconsistent when it matters & Gortat has regressed a lot from the past few seasons. Pietrus is just a turnover waiting to happen & chucks ridiculous shots. J.Rich is the type of scorer they need & Hedo might be a lot more confident going back to a system he fit in with. Orl might be a little thin up front but its not like they pass the ball to their bigs lmao. Lewis' contract is gross so I think he'll stay in Orl. Arenas is not the answer, I dont think he would fit in. PHX just seems confused. Nash/Hill would fit in well with some veteran leadership in NY IMO
I'm seeing other people suggest Orlando would still get Arenas. Carter's expiring contract is the only reason to deal such contracts. Rashard lewis for Arenas might work, but that would be trading a can of beans for Spam.
Hedo what a disgrace
dude said he is tired because of the worlds. IMO he is taking this year off.
Nelson, Hedo, Arenas in the same team? will the magic play with 3 balls?
Orlando just blew it up. They are giving away Pietrus as well, plus Rashard for double 0.
I think the suns got the best out of this trade..gortat is solid guy who can be a double double machine,pietrus good defender and good 3 point shooter is alot like richardson but jason has a better slashing game,expired big contract in carter, and get rid of turk's horrible contract plus a 1st rounder
Magic sure didn't get better at best, and ed up more by getting rid of lewis for arenas..I know arenas is a good player and all but don't see him making a difference really as a shooting guard unless the magic ship off nelson for a small foward cuz Q Rich sucks. Plus Lewis can spread the floor so much for Howard, while it seems that they have alot of confidence in Bass but I don't, and no championship team should have him as a starter. Richardson is going to be a solid player in the system, better shooter but don't see him as a huge upgrade to Carter. Turkoglu is the biggest question mark of the trade if he is the Orlando Turk then I think it will be worth it, but if he is the contract cuckold player than the Magic are ed for years to come, and could possibly see Dwight leaving Orlando.
I think its a decent move for Orlando since Hedo has played well there before, but Gortat was backing up Howard...so now who will do it? And Phoenix just completely blew up their team. If they thought Hedo was bad, wait till VC shows up..... Giving away J-Rich like that wasnt a good idea either...
LOL the Arenas trade is actually going down? Damn Orl getting rid of half their team just like that hahaa..Otis Smith is smoking that good . Dwight is gonna get even less touches now hahaha
Otis Smith is GM'ing as if he was on NBA Live. The Magic are screwed for years to come if this trade doesn't work out the way they hope.
I would love to trade JJ Barea straight up for Nash!!! Lol!
Ok I just read on yahoo that both deals were going down. Wow. this is crazy stackness around Howard. I guess Phoenix really has no choice but to trade jrich, but their getting gortat and a first rounder with some cap relief.
Orlando might be stacked now. I don't know who will be there back up center, but if Howard plays 41mpg it wont matter too much.
Nelson
Rich
Hedo
Bass
Howard
is how i would start it with Arenas coming off the bench.
Orlando's front court will not hold up, but their backcourt could do some serious damage.
Ok how can the spurs get in on the firesale?
Our needs include a defensive big man prescence to be next to timmah.
Second we need a defensive player to shut down the opponents best offensive player.
6 months ago, it was...
Nash
JRich
Hill
Amare
Lopez
Bench: Dragic, Barbosa, Dudley, Amundson, Frye
Now it's...
Nash
Carter
Hill
Frye
Lopez
Bench: Dragic, Childress, Pietrus, Dudley, Gortat, Warrick
Oy.
