to me rating this trade really depends on what happens with Hedo. If we flat out lose him then I don't see us as better.

i have no idea how to react to this. I just came home and found out. Wow. I hate to see Courtney go, but Vince is a go to guy at the end of games who can create for others and get his own shot. He's clutch and our offense will be RIDICULOUSLY unstoppable, especially if we keep Hedo. I mean Meer, Vince, Hedo, Rashard, and Dwight? HOLY SHNIKES!

For those of you who believe the lies that the media portrayed of VC for all these years. The stats don't lie. He is NOT injury prone!

32 years old, injury prone, huge contract, SG/SF for a stud rookie that plays above average D, I think the Nets win this guys sorry.

I think the Magic should have went after Bosh perfect fit, can hit the jumper keep it open for D12, give up Hedo and 1st round picks to get him. Move Shardy to the three.

Nelson, Lee, Shardy, Bosh, D12

ORL is so young and got to the finals and all the sudden threw that out the window and is looking to win now.

CLE got Shaq in a salary dump, SAS got RJ in a salary dump, Lakers got Pau in a salary dump, ORL gives up a stud rookie in a salary dump, which one doesn't fit?

My sole prognostication...Pau Gasol gets 1st team All NBA.

Losing Rafer and Lee hurts.

Battie? Meh. Maybe he'll be bought out and come back.

Ryan Anderson was selected one spot ahead of Lee last year.

Some questions:

VC's got 3 years left on his deal right?

So our we now paying three guys max contracts?

Didn' Otis... fools gold?.... ummmmm.....

Our Line Up?

Nelson / AJ
Carter / Redick
Pietrus
Lewis
Howard

Holy smokes! We only have seven players under contact?


Who cares? Go MAGIC!!!

Edit: I forgot about Anderson at PF.

Yeah.

The good thing about Vince is he's very hungry to win a title. And I found him to be more of a complete player than his cousin.


I could see us packaging Turk and Redick for a PF.
