    Unless Orlando is in full tear-down mode... they get a center for the future AND they suck this year (so a top pick).

    Orlando have their pick of two injury prone centers.

    Though, this is Brook's first real injury since coming into the NBA.

    That's exactly how I'd do it if I were Orlando. It sounds completely upside down, but they'd be setup fairly nicely next year.

    Just in time to drop some trash in my fantasy league and pick up the only remaining serviceable center, Okafor, to screw one of my opponents! His starting center will be jj hickson muhahahaha

    How long you think he'll be out with that? Fantasy draft today..... If somebody drafts him, I need to be able to crack on him about it!

    In last week's proposal, Nets offered five first-round picks and recruited Blazers to send Gerald Wallace to Magic. They need more help now

    A Camby for Dwight Howard trade is starting to look pretty damn good to Orlando right about now.

    If they can trade for Sloan they can be on their way to be the Jazz of 2 years ago

    We could really abuse this power if we could only get columnists and beat guys to tweet up crazy trade rumors. I'll bet we could cripple half the league by Valentine's Day if we did it right.
