Noah+Boozer+Charlotte 1st Rounder Pick +2011 First
for
Howard and Bass

Very very happy with that, improvement at center and a Gibson/Bass PF combo is barely any worse off than Boozer/Gibson from this year.

No chance to happen however, if Howard is traded (very very unlikely) you will have to take either Gil or Turk with him, and I'm doubting whether Orlando will have any interest in Boozer.

 

[WALL-e]

Yep I was joking Wall-e.. Lewis was shit. Unfortunately Aren-ass was no better.

He's on the court less.....that's probably better.

He probably gets close to 100,000 per minute played.

Change the name of Bass to Hedo or Arenas and that trade doesnt look so goo but I would still do it.

Pat Riley will be offering Bosh for Dwight... Fair swap too.

Stern would never allow these trades anyway... Who is gonna make sure Lakers are in the finals every year as Kobe slows down? Howard is off to hollywood for sure.

Magic looks to be a better side without Howard

The more I read that, the less I understand it (but I know you mean after your proposed trades)

Fair swap? What are you smoking (other than Boshs meat pole)?

Dwight dreams about having a sweet soft jumper like Bosh...

The real Superman would light Orlando town up

Hey Wall-e have you checked out RealGM Orlando forum? Fans are calling for Otis and SVG's head....

Especially Otis.

Fans are concerned because: Dwight Howard gear is 50% off at orlandomagicshop.com

 

[WALL-e]

As much as Otis has pulled off (no homo) some really good moves, he's made some rubbish ones too.

As far as SVG goes, he really did us well early on. And he IS a good coach, no questions. BUT, he's had this team with it's best shot and players can tire of the same message.

Bottom line, if Dwight sanctions any head, it's gone.

 

[RoosterLad]

I definitely think it is time to find a replacement for SVG. I agree that he has been good for you but I think he has run his race, time for fresh ideas.

There is one person who will be making the decision on Stans tenure... His name is Dwight.

Lots of Orlando fans blaming Jameer as well. They want him gone... He always cops a lot of shit. Here is the list in order of who is copping it the most... (They have their own blame poll)

1. Otis
2. Turkeyglue
3. SVG
4. Jameer

Otis is gone. He made the trade to win a ring and it failed and left us with a massive hole of untradeable contracts.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Seriously, we won't win shit with the supporting cast we have.

JJ is cool and Ando and Bass are solid Bench guys (same bloody possy though) but who the hell else do we have to score or defend.

Our best stopper is Q bloody Rich and and next scoring option is J rich, who goes off every second game, but can't create for himself and others.

Need a go to guard and a stopper.

God we have no assets though. Who wants Gil and Turk? Who?

In fairness, J-Rich is a slow learner. Took him half a season in Phoenix and then a training camp to get comfortable. His assets aren't used enough in Orlando, but that's down to the game style. Can do a lot more than nail a 3.

As much as Otis has pulled off (no homo) some really good moves, he's made some rubbish ones too.

I think therein lies some of the problem. Dwight has too much stroke over what goes down on this team. Until the Magic get a go to guy down the stretch, they'll never do any better than 2nd round at best.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

But no big guy (other than one example of course ) has ever been the clutch performer of a great team.

If by clutch you are talking about last play of the game stuff, invariably the ball will always been in a guard point forwards hands. Dirk obviously the exception. Lamar Odom could also be an option here.

Shaq seemed to have the knack of being able to make the FT's when the game was really on the line. I'm not saying he became Steve Nash when the game was up for grabs, but Dwight almost always seems to miss the clutch FT's despite making 6-8 previously for example.

I think the Lakers would benefit if Pau Gasol was able to work in the post on a final play instead of Kobe.

KG has made his fair share of game winning signature fadeaways
