Related somewhat to the Spurs... since once Butler gets matched, the Spurs could try for Ariza still.
Orlando has let Stevenson walk and signed Keith Bogans. Stevenson asking for 4 years at $4M while Orlando only wanted to give 3.

Is there really any chance that Hedo would be coming back? The deal could make sense for both teams, but for some reason I don't see it happening.
With Stevenson out of the picture, Barry for Hedo makes more sense for them.
Although it's still a huge longshot, IMO.
That's what I was thinking.
, I'd do it. At the very worst Hedo is a good rebounder.
Hedo? I love Hedo!
I am all for the deal except for two concerns:
1) Hedo is doing so well in Orlando; maybe he is best off staying there.
2) I would really miss Brent.
Hedoyet still wants to start, does he not?
Magic aren't trading Hedo. He was the second best guy on the team most of last season. Spurs should have chosen him over Barry 2 years ago- but Hedo got a six-year deal and Barry took only four.
Sound familiar?
Dude they were ing good. We were deep, had a long rebounding small forward, we had it all. Our motion offense was still fresh, teams weren't used to it. Tony did not have his new jumpshooting form but was still very very un-gunshy and extremely streaky (he was seriously 70% threes for hte memhpis series, totally decimated them with his three ball)
That .4 affected the spurs much like punching a man in the diaphragm with him not flexing his abs. It totally knocked the wind out of them and left them convulsing and gasping for air. By the time we regained composure, our season was over.
The hedo choking factor is exagerrated. If you replace hedo's playoff performance with Manu's, you have half of us sucking manu's balls and saying how he's still a hustler.
Hedo hit big shots for us. He hit a game winner against Sactown (his former team if memory serves) with a hand in his face. Regular season, yes, but ask yourself this.
If we were depending on Hedo ing Turkoglu to clutch shoot us over the Lakers, then that tells us we're ing up somewhere else, ie, hardheaded coaches unwilling to change strategy, no other players hitting outside shots either, ie, horry.
I did not like hedo that much, but he is a blatant scapegoat for that 04 loss. We had other jumpshooters on that team too. Parker was on fire for the first 6 games of the playoffs. He choked, in a sense too, cuz his jumper fell flat for the remaining 4 games. Where was manu's jump shooting? Horry's? That 04 team was ing awesome man, we just completely lost all morale after that .04 debauchery.
Ah I thought so. It was a happy thought though- Hedo coming back, not trading Brent.
Main thing about that team- they blew teams out like the Spurs should have been doing down the stretch this season but did not do.
Look at how that season ended:
MAR
Thu 25 Detroit W 84 - 75
Sat 27 Phoenix W 105 - 76
Mon 29 Cleveland W 101 - 93
Wed 31 Sacramento W 107 - 89
APR
Fri 2 @ Utah W 94 - 81
Sun 4 @ L.A. Lakers W 95 - 89
Wed 7 Seattle W 96 - 75
Fri 9 Portland W 84 - 74
Sun 11 @ L.A. Clippers W 88 - 79
Mon 12 @ Portland W 78 - 66
Wed 14 Denver W 93 - 67
Those were the days. That team did not whine about how it could not play on back-to-back nights.
parker could jack up his ugly jumper all night and we had the personel to get some of those rebounds.
