Hey JRG, now that you guys got GA do you think the Magic would be interested in dealing Jameer for a guy like Carl Landry? You could use an extra big now without Gortat and GA will probably start over Jameer right?

Now that you have taken Hibachi, I have lost allegiance with the Wizards as my Eastern Conference team and have now inherited the Orlando Magic into my Eastern Trio (Hawks & Pacers are the other two squads who have my love and attention out there)...
Go kick some ass boys, hope D12 brings that old Arenas back out

I really don't like these trades for Orlando. The only person left that plays defense is D12. He's great, but he can't guard everybody.

Defense is the last thing I'm worried about. Well be fine there. Only thing I'd even consider worrying about is all these players needing the ball. So many shooters.

Ya, but you're gonna have Jason Richardson and Hedo Turkoglu guarding Ray Allen/Paul Pierce or Dwyane Wade/LeBron James in a 7 game series, and I don't see that going well for you. I also see D12 in a lot of foul trouble trying to clean up everybody's mistakes. You guys traded your only size outside of Howard, and your only perimeter defender. I wish you guys well, but I really don't like these deals.

The way I look at it is we got better offensively and didn't lose A LOT defensively. What does Carter and Lewis provide defensively? Now Bass is the everyday starter so we got bigger down low and Earl Clark is 6'10" and lanky. Once we get Anderson back too I think well be fine. Plus wouldn't be surprised if we went and signed a big man. I'm just ecstatic about the offense upgrade.

They're panicking so they don't get behind the Celtics and Heat. I think Miami influenced their quick trigger decisions because the Lebrons are starting to roll.

That's why they'll be trading Jameer for a back-up big man.
