NBA Off-Season Discussion Thread

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Yeah, but it severely limits Orlando financially for years to come, thanks to Hedo and Arenas' huge contracts. It could make Orlando unable to re-sign Dwight to a max contract.

They have his bird rights so they can pay him no matter what. How they do in the playoffs will likely decide if he picks up his option next year though.

If he chooses not to, I know just the home for Dwight where bigs are appreciated and that always wins erv:

On a serious note, Orlando is going to hold a press conference on NBA TV at the top of the hour to talk about the trade.

Wiz
Wall/Hinrich
Young/Howard(starts practicing next week)
Lewis/Thornton
Blatche/Booker
McGee/Yi

Magic
Jameer/Duhon
Arenas/JJ
J.Rich/Q.Rich
Hedo/Bass
Dwight/Anderson

Suns
Nash/Dragic
Carter/Chill
Hill/Peaches
Hak/Dudley
Gortat/Frye

Anderson as backup C? Probably be Clark or Malik Allen.

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

I guessed Anderson would get the 10 minutes or so off the bench behind Dwight and next to Bass on the second unit as Bucher just said on ESPN News that he was told Hedo would start at PF.

The Suns pissing themselves on TV after Nash went down last night was also why the Suns felt the need to make the deal and overhaul their team according to him

I don't see why Clark wouldn't.

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Clark isn't a C. He is an overgrown SF like Johnathon Bender was in Indiana.

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Why was I thinking he's a C?

Why was I thinking he's a C?

He is almost 7 feet tall. Times that I have watched him though he has never had any true position outside of playing the SF spot in summer league games.

If u could develop him at one spot he could be good and not just a throw in. Your Shannon Brown so to speak.

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Just realized this deal and what the fuck is all I have to say idc about them dealing Hedo but dealing J-Rich is something I don't like

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Hedo's not starting PF.

Just told you what Bucher said he was told by the Orlando staff.

Nelson playing off the ball might actually serve him well, much like it did AI under Larry Brown.

The writing is on the wall imo, Nash will be moved.

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Stan just said one of Arenas, Richardson and Hedo will come off the bench, and talked about having a bulkier frontcourt now that Lew is gone. None of those things say to me Hedo is a PF.
