I agree. Tmac is underrated at defense. Yes his team sucks at defense, but he can't guard all 5 guys at once. btw, Bogans guarded Redd, Tmac guarded the taller Tim Thomas.
Well, first off I'd like to say that I think Juwan should be traded this year, preferrably for a young Center that can defend and rebound. It all depends on who's available, and at what price, but someone like Dan Gadzuric would be ideal. I wouldn't mind a deal for Kelvin Cato either. My second choice would be a good point guard that can be a long term solution, because this season is obviously lost. If all else fails, a quality wing-man wouldn't be too bad of an idea. I know it sounds kind of crazy, but Al Harrington wants out of Indiana, and he wants to start and get good minutes. The Pacers have expressed interest in Howard, do you think there's anyway we could pry Harrington from the Pacers for Howard(Plus Giricek/Pick?)?
Minnesota also wants Juwan, especially KG . They are trying to get rid of Michael Olowakandi but he is hurt and the Magic wanna see how well he plays after coming back from injury , the problem is he might come back from the injury after the All star break so there wont be much time to see him play. The Magic are cautious cause they dont wanna trade for a guy , who becomes another Grant Hill. The Magic might want Olowokandi cause he has a short contract 3 years 16 million.
I saw that Kandi man rumor. I'm kind of hesitant to pull the trigger on that deal even though Kandi could dominate the East if he's healthy. Injuries should definetely be a concern. Harrington would be good, but I would rather get a pg or center before another swingman.
I say trade for the Kandi man , even if he is a bust he has a short contract. And if he ever decides to play he could be a 15 and 10 guy. In fact he averaged 13 and 10 two years ago. The Magic can score enough they need a defensive presence , not sure if Kandi man will give them that but it will free up the PF position for Drew Gooden ( he has to be kicking himself after seeing what Carlos Boozer is doing)
We don't need harrington.. If Bogans is gonna be here for the future, why bother with Harrington? That means less time for Bogans, Who can and has played at least 40 minutes.. Bogans can shoot a three too.. He was a point guard at Kentucky..
Yeah, like I said, I'd much rather get a Center or Point Guard before Harrington(or any swingman) but if all else fails, I'd say pull the trigger because Juwan is just holding back Gooden, as well as the development of Zaza and Hunter indirectly. I'd love a deal that got rid of both Howard and DeClercq. The Kandi man rumor is interesting, considering we very well might have got him this offseason if we hadn't been denied the injury exception for Grant Hill by the NBA.
Ever since the Marijuana incident, Howard really got affected. I mean come on, look at Webber. He really stepped up and became even better. However I have to admit, he's been playing well for you guys. He is showing why he is a starter for such a team. Meaning, you need more people, particularly better people. He needs to go.
lol Declerq i dont know what to say about him..I mean sometimes he just gives u rebounds when u need em..and now and then some kinda defensive plays..but he sucks offensively I really like Hunter and ZaZa but they wouldn't be enough if we really want a good team..we need a better Center..zaza could come in for gooden..and I really like Hunter's job.
Declerq definetely can go in a deal. I don't want him here. Gooden needs to get as much time as possible. I'm not sure about Kandi still. He would take some of Zaza and Hunter's time to develop. I think I would do it anyway though, just to give Gooden the time.
Rumor has it that Hunter is playing to get his little(microscopic) trade value up and trade him to Dallas(who has expressed interest in him) for a cap exception and a 2nd Rounder. Thoughts?

Of course he could turn into the next big player for Dallas.. He could be hiding something just to get out of Orlando.. I don't like the trade.. I don't think they should get rid of him for a 2nd Rounder and Cap Exception
Yeah, I've heard about that too. I was wondering why Hunter hadn't played in like 8 games and he was 1st off the bench. He'll likely be in a deal and he could possibly be the only piece that could make a deal work.
