Lakers get sprinkled in as well.

Wall will be fine. He just needs one strong willed teammate or coach to yell at him every time he shoots a jumper. It's not like he is bad now either, he is still a damn effective player just not the top 10-20 guy we expected.

he just needs a new team.

Seriously.....almost everyone relevant that he has played with has been a class A moron. They don't care if he takes jumpers and turns it over. Even if they do get in his grill, why should he care? I really think Wall can and will be an excellent player.

Dwight has no desire to play for the Lakers... it's Brooklyn or bust. I expect it this summer, once the Magic find out if the Nets will have that top 3 pick or not. I expect they will, since they're moving into a huge market and there always seems to be some "surprise" come lottery time.

They are cutting those idiots out. Nene actually helped turn the team around we are 7-4 with him. And even though he take raw athletes now the guys like Vesley, Booker, Seraphin actually care unlike McGee, young, blatche. That trio is probably the dumbest trio in the nba

Yeah. You could see a big difference in Wall with Nene there actually.

I was not trying to bash the Magic. I was just joking around about how its like the old days when there used to be a lot of Magic talk.

In that case I plan to bombard this thread with MOAR MAGICZ TALK! =)

I got nuttin but love for you baby.

So Jameer Nelson says he will opt out because he doesn't want to be traded during the season as an expiring contract. Which teams will target him in FA?

Pau for Granger + Collison?

Speaking of the Lakers... what do you think about Mitch Kupchak. Good GM?

He's done ok but also had his serious idiotic moments too (signing artest instead of giving ariza money).

Pau's value was high during the allstar break but it really dipped this post season.

Besides, I didn't think Pau's value is high, I thought Granger's was low.

I think Kupchak has done very well.

I'd rather have Artest than Ariza tbh.

but all we want is Lowry, and I don't know if Houston is willing to trade him.

I want to sign Goran Dragic, trade Pau for a 3 and sign Kris Humphries in addition to trading Bynum for Howard.

Yeah, can't really say that Kupchak has ever impressed me much either.

Can't understand why the Magic are trying to target him.

....you thought Grangers value was low???

He's done well and plays great defense but he's 6 years older than Ariza and came into the start of the season out of shape.

The reason we went after him as I stated before was a panic move to counter lebron. We thought/assumed we'd be playing Lebron in the finals so we had to do something thatd be able to stop him the best we could.

Why would you like to see them trade Bynum for Howard if Howard has made it clear that LA is not a desirable long term option for him?

his shooting percentage is pretty pedestrian add into the fact that Paul George's emergence (it's his team) thought they'd make a move to shake it up and give them a little more size.

Cause if we win a ring the first year, that might change everything.

Think it was yo who said Indie should have traded Granger sooner since now teams realize he isn't that good and his value has lowered.

soybean · 05-24-2012, 08:23 PM

Lakers also, reportedly want Andre Iguodala, not sure what itd take to get him though.

Rob S · 05-24-2012, 08:23 PM

Granger has boosted his value with this playoff series.

I don't think a ring would do anything for him in wanting to stay in LA. Kobe's career is towards the end, there is no other star on the team after him, and he wants to be in NYC above all else. Obviously he'd love to have a ring but the long term potential of getting one, or in your hypothetical getting another, would be limited by staying in LA.
