Re: Rumor: Arenas traded to Orlando. Roy is undergoing a secret physical this weekend. At least that's the rumor (that I'm attempting to start).
Re: Rumor: Arenas traded to Orlando. Either that or he is going to a secret lab where they built Steve Austin. They will rebuild him better, faster, stronger!. He will become the 13 million dollar man! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HofoK_QQxGc
Re: Rumor: Arenas traded to Orlando. I could live with that. They should take it out of his salary though. He can afford it.
Re: Rumor: Arenas traded to Orlando. I would be all for Vince/Gortat for Roy/Camby, and I think it makes them considerably stronger too. Andre would be the perfect PG for Vince (pretty decent off the ball, just a very hot-cold player at this point in his career), and the team would really be "his", which I'm fine with at this point. Carter/Gortat/Seraphin to Portland Lewis/Duhon to Washington Camby/Roy/Arenas/Babbit to Orlando The Magic could be very interesting with Arenas/Roy/Pietrus/Bass/Howard - and Nelson/Reddick/Camby as subs (can you imagine Camby's his lobs to Howard?). Major remodel for them. But in a drive n kick (or dribble drive, whatever) offense can you imagine how good Arenas and Roy (less so given health concerns) would be? That's a lot of money in, but a lot of money out too. Washington gets another passive PG who plays good D to put next to Wall, a guy who can hit shots and stretch the defense to put at 4 (helping Wall), and gets rid of Arenas! We become a team with a very old core, but a lot less committed to anything long term, Carter would play well off of Miller I believe (if he didn't quit on the season), and I think the team would open up on offense a little more. Carter is about the same as a shooter compared to Roy, and much better at moving without the ball/running plays. I think we'd see Aldridge step up his game quite a bit with a move like this. And i don't even think it would bother the fans that much, with how Roy's playing now. Obviously next season we'd buy out Carter (it's only 4 million) which means that this year he's playing for a contract (big bonus), and who knows with Miller. But I'd imagine if we let go of Carter and Andre we'd have some cap space? And still be able to build around Aldridge and Matthews (not horrendous core pieces at all).
Re: Rumor: Arenas traded to Orlando. I dont understand why Orlando would want Arenas. Vince and Lewis are better then Gilbert... plus Gilbert's a knucklehead.
Re: Rumor: Arenas traded to Orlando. The point is that Orlando isn't winning anything the way they are currently constructed and they have to try something.
Re: Rumor: Arenas traded to Orlando. Neither Rashard nor Vince are real great in the dribble drive offense though is the thing. You need lots of guys with good J's, handles, and a nice first step. It'd really be perfect for either Arenas or Roy (maybe not so much anymore), because it's playground ball, and very very simple.
Re: Rumor: Arenas [possibly] traded to Orlando? On a side note, I'd love to see Vince on the Suns instead of Jason "Blazer Killer" Rich. The Suns look like they are in rebuild mode with this deal.
Re: Rumor: Arenas [possibly] traded to Orlando? If Orlando does these two moves, are they rebuilding too?
Re: Rumor: Arenas [possibly] traded to Orlando? seriously are those 2 rebuilding??? do they get better?
Re: Rumor: Arenas [possibly] traded to Orlando? Broussard is saying Hedo/JRich/Earl Clark to Orlando for Vince/Gortat/Pietrus and a 2011 first rounder.
Re: Rumor: Arenas [possibly] traded to Orlando? The Magic are looking really nice if they can flip Rashard for Arenas after this deal.
Re: Rumor: Arenas [possibly] traded to Orlando? Not sure that Arenas is really an upgrade for them. He's horribly overpaid, and can't shoot anymore.
Re: Rumor: Arenas [possibly] traded to Orlando? So at the end of the day Orlando will have Nelson, Arenas, Hedo and J-Rich on the wings ... That looks pretty good on paper.
Re: Rumor: Arenas [possibly] traded to Orlando? Arenas Richardson Hedo Bass Howard Man, I don't know if they're really that much better. Hedo is washed up, Arenas is.... a headcase. Richardson is a good pickup.
Re: Rumor: Arenas [possibly] traded to Orlando? Rashard and VC are pretty awful this year. Getting Arenas and JRich are a big upgrade. Hedo isn't much of an impact wither way.
Re: Rumor: Arenas [possibly] traded to Orlando? does it improve the suns? i think the best player in the deal is jrich but carter, pietrus and gortat helps them. why cant we ever make big trades?????
