For Kwame Brown, Javaris Critterton, Aaron McKie, the rights to Marc Gasol, and two future first round picks.

I saw that earlier on ESPN ... Its a head scratcher.

[LUconn]

why do teams keep getting suckered into taking Kwame Brown? Just cut that guy already.

He is in the last year of his contract, so they could just be looking to cut their payroll.

[Sly Fox]

In addition to his expiring contract, the Grizz did manage to pick up a pair of 1st Rounders. Still, Gasol is a baller at a time when they are in short supply in the association.

Once Andrew Bynum comes back, the Lakers could very well win the championship. With a starting lineup of Bynum, Gasol, Odom, Kobe, and Fisher along with an underrated bench, this team has to be considered a big time contender for the championship. That lineup is just scary...

Orlando is gonna win.

and if not Orlando, then whoever else comes out of the East.

The top teams in the East are more than good enough to hang with the West, Boston, Detroit, and Orlando all have legit frontlines and good scorers, and will matchup against anyone.

I'm a Celtics fan, but Orlando and Boston have some PG and depth issues, especially Orlando at the PG. Boston absolutely has to have its "big three" and Rajon Rondo healthy if they want to win, and they have been getting a little banged up as of lately and struggling. I think Detroit has the best chance out of the East.

[ToTheLeft]

All of those teams are going to be looking to pick someone up at the deadline, tho.

And I don't think Orlando has PG issues. I think we are just fine there. I think we have SG issues, as in, we don't have one worth a crap.

You got Jameer Nelson and Carlos Arroyo at the point, and lately Arroyo has been the man at point. Unless you are Peurto Rico in International play, that doesn't bode well for your team...

Why not? Arroyo has a better Assist to turnover ratio than TJ Ford, Jason Kidd, Deron Williams, Rajon Rondo, Jason Terry, Derek Fisher, Ray Felton... you get my point.

He does his job. He's no Steve Nash or Tony Parker, but he does his job.

oh no....the TTL curse is on...its not bad enough that the Magic have not won a playoff series since Shaq left you have to go and say this...........I as a Magic fan sine I was like 5 can not handle this....

and you think Arroyo is a decent Point Guard....wow...have you seen them play this year???

[ToTheLeft]

I don't get to watch much, I follow box scores and stats.

If he plays horribly, then his stats don't show it.

And I don't always curse teams. The Bucs won the Super Bowl and I predicted all of those wins (within 2 points every game)

I predicted Kurt Busch would win the Nextel Cup the year he won.

I am not all bad luck!

Now, Schfourteenteen, he is a bad predictor!

[ToTheLeft]

And I have been a Magic fan since I was little, too.

So I don't do it out of hate.

[flamesbball84]

Arroyo ranks 41st in John Hollinger's PER rating on ESPN.com. Such "great" PGs like Anthony Johnson, Janerro Pargo, Roger Mason, and Steve Blake just to name a few rank higher than Arroyo. Nelson is ranked 25th, coming in below the league average. That's not a good PG situation...

[thepostman]

I figured you probably were....

for some reason I get league pass for free with my nba.com login...so I have watched quite a few games...more then half...anyways...Carlos just doesn't do a good job running the team...nothing is terrible stats wise...that is true, but he always seems to make some key boneheaded plays....

both guard spots need to be looked at...actually really then need to move Rashard to the 3 and Turk to the 2...but there is so much the team needs to do to get to championship level...they are getting closer, but they aren't there yet....at this point I will be happy when they finally win a freaking playoff series....NBA Finals are in this teams future, that is for sure...just not this year...its going to be Detroit or Boston from the east.....

I do remember the good old days...I lived in Orlando back in 1989 when the team first started play...was there during the Finals run to see how excited the city got....those were good times....and with Dwight Howard now, I just am excited about the future...

We should draft Smitty to play the 2.

And TeeJay to run the point!
