AlexKennedyNBA:

One source says Gilbert Arenas to Orlando is done with an announcement expected tomorrow and debut on Monday. Still no word who Wizards get.

Saw the deal on Real GM, LG, and PSD. If it holds to be true, it affects you both Mak and Brandun

Suns get
-Vince Carter
-Marcin Gortat

Magic get
-Hedo
-J.Rich
-Arenas

Wizards get
-Shard

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Yeah, I've been monitoring the trade news closely. I've gotta say, I FUCKING LOVE THAT. Orlando will be so deep it's not even funny. Only thing I'd be wondering is where Gil gets minutes, (presumably) behind Jameer and Richardson. I'd fucking jump off a bridge if Stan made Hedo play PF.

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Sadly I do see Hedo starting at PF, J-Rich at SF, and Arenas at SG with Jameer and Dwight.

Phoenix get a a starting center out of the deal and possibly Wince on the cheap for years to come with that medical staff.

Wizards eat the worst contract in the history of the league, but they need a fresh start without Gilbert on the squad and to give Wall the full reigns

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Can you do me a favor and post links to those?

I'd hope Stan at least limits his PF minutes.

Thanks, man.

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

No problem. I'd check the psd thread later in the morning if I was you as they will usually update it often.

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Orlando supposedly gets Earl Clark in the deal as well, which is good. No Malik Allen @ C.

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Trades are completed:

Orlando trades Rashard Lewis to Washington for Gilbert Arenas. Orlando sends Vince Carter, Marcin Gortat, Mickael Pietrus and a 1st round draft pick for Jason Richardson, Earl Clark and Hedo Turkoglu.

I think Orlando gave up too much in the 2nd deal, but we'll see. Orlando plays Philadelphia tonight, but with only Jameer, Duhon, Williams, Redick, Richardson, Bass, Anderson, Howard and Allen available, I see it being a loss.

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Fuck Orlando is loaded now.

Gortat is gonna be a beast for the Suns.

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

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.

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

We both know nothing will prevent Orlando from keeping Dwight forever.

The Kings need to do something!

Whose the #1 player in college this year?

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

I know they want to keep him (obviously), but I don't know if they can keep him.

Kyrie Irving (PG, Duke)/Harrison Barnes (PF, North Carolina)/Perry Jones (SF, Baylor)

Re: NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

Well it looks like the Kings will be getting 1 of those 3 players the rate there going right now.

Orlando doesnt need another repeat of Shaq.

Dear santa all i want for X-Mas is Carl Landry gone from Sac Town and a consistent starting 5 consisting of Udrih, TYREKE, Casspi, Thompson & Cousins, thank you santa
