Washington first needs to worry about properly developing John Wall. I really hope he doesn't regress any more.

Worst fit - Charlotte. Bismack still has a LOOONG way to go. Gerald Henderson is pretty much tapped out of potential. Kemba is a tweener who's better off the bench.

Henderson is fine as a smarter version of Trevor Ariza. That's something.

MetSox17 · 05-24-2012, 06:04 PM

Not saying he's trash, but when one of your main building blocks is a smarter version of Trevor Ariza, you have problems.

Brodeur · 05-24-2012, 06:06 PM

I assume they'll just get pick 3 or 4 and be stuck with Andre Drummond and his youthful bustitude.

MetSox17 · 05-24-2012, 06:11 PM

For those that watched more college hoops than i did, who would you consider a better prospect/player, Bradley Beal or Jeremy Lamb?

Yeah, he could be the next Tyreke.

I have heard a lot of different people who are more fond of one another. I personally like Lamb's skill set and think he could be a big player at the next level. Havent gotten to see a ton of Beal however.

Sheridan hoops, huh? mmmmk.

If Howard is traded... it won't be for junk. I'll say that.

Beal was pretty snazzy in the tourney, so I think he pulled ahead there. Although you don't care for my opinion, so I'll say Lamb so you think the opposite (woman).

Beal. It's not really that close either.

Eh, when the Magic trade Dwight for Bynum and Bynum bolts after the season, the Magic pretty much have no future. With that in mind...

Kidd-Gilchrist running with Kyrie would be pretty nice to see also.

Meh. Cap space is always nice.

It's just going to be like a Pistons situation, where the money is spent on players that don't deserve it. Orlando won't have the support cast or right people to bring others in.

SickwithIt1010 · 05-24-2012, 06:47 PM

Or they will try to pull off another T-Mac/Grant Hill type thing and get screwed again. I wish Hill woulda worked out there.

Tim Duncan going there was supposed to be the third piece of that trio and they banked a lot on that.

If you had your facts straight it would've been Hill and Duncan. T-Mac got his deal because Duncan turned it down. They didn't have the cap to add all 3 you crazy nut.

...and no... I don't think another team in history can repeat the mess that the Pistons did with their cap space. Enjoy your own misery. The Magic while not winning the championship, have been one of the winningest teams in the last decade. It's been fun.

The fact that they were able to get Dwight to extend when nobody thought they would or should... and the fact that they were smart enough to can Stan and Otis... the fact that they are in great cap position after next season... they have an owner willing to spend to win... they have a brand new arena, supported by a city that supports them faithfully unlike the Kings... nice weather, no state taxes to attract FAs.... all of that... tells me they are in great hands.

LTgiants · 05-24-2012, 07:05 PM

Ah the good old days. More Magic talk!!!!!!!!!!!

Brodeur · 05-24-2012, 07:07 PM

Without Burns and MOTH, it's basically just D talking to himself.

Rob S · 05-24-2012, 07:12 PM

Speaking of MOTH, where the heck is that guy? I hope he isn't letting that girl he was crazy about take precedence over SWDC.

Sorry to put a stop to your basking in ignorance. It had to be done.

T-Mac, Hill and Duncan were never gonna become a trio.

At least it's periodic unlike the constant Knicks and Kings talk sprinkled in with a little Bulls (though I do miss sweetness) and A LOT OF HEAT BASHING.

I made a mistake there, but ah well. At least the Pistons won a title in the last decade, boy-o.

IDK what his problem was towards the end of the season he stopped driving to the hoop just settled for jumpers. Then again running the offense through Jordan ******* crawford wasn't the best idea for his confidence. Hopefully being on the olympic team will help him.
