Orlando Shuffle


Chaos

Recommended Posts

Well, I guess MJ didn't come through. Orlando looks to be dealing Rashard Lewis to Washington for Arenas, and is also sending Vince Carter, Pietrus, and Gortat to Phoenix for J-Rich, Earl Clark, Turkoglu.

Talk about blowing up a team.

WTF???

wow, the Magic could have just gotten a lot better. I'm not sold on the Arenas for Lewis trade though; high risk, righ reward. I wouldn't buy the Kielbasa.

I think the Suns are giving up on this season. I wonder what Steve Nash is thinking right now after losing Amare then Richardson.

Jameer Nelson

J-Rich

Hedo Turkoglu

Dwight Howard

Brandon Bass

Gilbert Arenas

Malik Allen

They're building a squad down there. Florida is a power state this year. The Magic have regretted Hedo from day one. Carter just couldn't facilitate their offense the way Hedo was able to.

Now that Orlando needs a backup center, maybe they will trade for Diop......

If Charlotte is going to blow up their team, trading Jax for Carter would have made the most sense. And just for reference, I hate Vince Carter but we could have taken his 16 mill off the books at the end of the year.

Gortat would have been nice. We would have had to taken Lewis to get him though, I bet, and give up Gerald Wallace in the trade.

No way we just get Gortat for free, and he's the most appealing player in that deal other than Lewis and Arenas. And both are bad for the team for their own separate reason.

We'd have had to give up something nice just to get Gortat. You can bet he was thrown in just to get then to sign off on taking Lewis. Gortat makes Lewis' contract almost worth it.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
