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?


vince at 32 is still good and he'll be extra motivated, make no question about it. Plus I think that anderson kinda offsets the loss of lee
You can't beat LA!

I HATED this when i saw it, but after thinking about,i think its a very good trade if we do get Ryan Anderson in the deal. He is a perfect fit for us, and is a very young good big man who has 3 point range

Please read my post a few posts up. Go ask NJ fans about VC and see what they think. Go watch some mixes from maxamillion on youtube of VC the past year.

After taking five minutes to drain my depression for losing CLee... I'm excited about this trade, VINCANITY, and Ryan Anderson, a guy a lot of us wanted too.

Jealous? Nervous?



NJ may win that trade in 4 years but right now Vince makes us better right now and as you may know we are extremely capable of beating LA.

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!


I think those are the main reasons behind this trade.

VC had 2 years of being "injury-prone" and 1 of those years he played 60 games on basically 1 leg. Stats don't lie.

Jealous? Nervous? No I'm not at all. I like the ORL Magic's organization, I just don't get this trade. Too late now it's done, good luck.

How has VC been playing of late?
Does he get injured quite a bit still?
Is he more of a jumpshooter now?
Does this put us in the "win now" mode?

Jameer, AJ
VC, MP, JJ
Hedo*, MP
Lewis, Gortat *
Dwight, Gortat*

Makes for an interesting team to say the least.

* = assuming resigning with us.


The Magic have a short window with this current roster.

I've been saying before the VC trade that the window (if the core stays as is) has only 2-3 years before needing a major reload.

Obviously, the Magic agree.......
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

ok my 2 cents. hated this trade at first thought c lee was gonna be great for defensive purposes but after thinking about it and letting it settle in if we can s&t hedo for a pf then this trade makes perfect sense if you think about it peaches did the best against the "big wigs" in the playoff's kobe lebron pierce so we lose (what is now) a defensive role player for vince carter (who i believe will thrive because he doesnt have to be the number 1 option now) portland was really looking at hedo maybe sac town s&t for a pf and i think were golden guys

Amazing, your GM actually got the better of Rod Thorn in this trade.
