MagicBizkit87 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 It was said by someone on hoopsworld (I don't know how accurate they really are) that the Magic are trying to split their MLE on Brandon Bass, and Antonio McDyess. I think McDyess has since dropped the Magic out of contention to sign him. Maybe we could sign Bass, and Matt Barnes, or a point guard out there instead of Barnes to backup of Jameer. McDyess is probably going to either sign back with Detroit, or go to the Spurs. Damn, and I thought McDyess would have been at a reasonable price, not a full MLE.

MagicBizkit87 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Matt Barnes will be horrible for the Magic.... Why would he be horrible? I don't really know anything about him. I just saw a guy who had 10 pts, and 5.5 rebs per game??? Like I said I really know nothing about this guy... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Jet Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Not worth it brother..moving on.. I'm a bit worried that the Magic don't seem to be actively pursuing anyone. I hear you brother. Enough said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicBizkit87 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Since people like Rasheed, or Dice didn't get a topic, I highly doubt anyone cares about this other then me, and IC... but the Magic have signed Brandon Bass... The Orlando Magic are trying to keep up in the arms race in the competitive Eastern Conference, agreeing to terms on Friday with free agent forward Brandon Bass on a four-year deal believed to be worth $18 million. The 23-year-old Bass was one of the most coveted big men in this year's free agency class, having been a valuable role player off the bench for the Mavericks the past two seasons. He played in 81 games for Dallas last year, averaging 8.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 19 minutes a night. The Mavericks tried to keep him, but Dallas' commitment to Magic free agent center Marcin Gortat to an offer sheet made money scarce. New Orleans, Bass's first team, and Cleveland also were working to sign him. http://www.nba.com/2009/news/features/david_aldridge/07/10/magic.bass/ lol... I thought this picture was kind of funny... Bass is going to annoy Vince about this the second he gets the chance to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicBizkit87 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Cleveland also tried to make a last second push for this guy, because they know this guy is the real deal, but they failed because their stupid organization traded for Grandpa Shaq, and they also overpaid for the girliest player in the NBA, Anderson Varejao. I got something to say to Cleveland........ YOU GET NOTHING! YOU LOSE! GOOD DAY SIR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstantClassic Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 Excellent signing, IMO. Young big man that can help Dwight rebound. I hope he starts so we can swing Rashard back to the 3 and let Pietrus and Anderson come off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I saw that last night. It will be easy to watch the Magic crush the Raptors for 4 consecutive times too. I wonder what Otis is going to do with the rest of the MLE. I still think Matt Barnes might be the guy, but I'm not too sure. We still need a PG, but I think we may choose one of those guys from the Summer League. edit: Meanwhile I don't think Otis is going to use that TPE yet, instead I think he's going to wait until the deadline nears when teams get desperate, and then he makes his move.

MagicBizkit87 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Here is basically what I've been hearing/reading.... Magic are looking to use the rest of their remaining MLE on Matt Barnes, and sign Theo Ratliff to the League Minimum. Marcin Gortat is also thinking that Otis Smith is going to match the Mavs offer for him. PG Jameer/Johnson/Pargo? SG Carter/Pietrus/Redick SF Rashard/Barnes/Richardson? PF Bass/Anderson/Hendrix? C Dwight/Gortat/Ratliff That might be the team next year... Ryan Anderson 21 Dwight Howard 23 Jameer Nelson 27 Mickeal Pietrus 27 Rashard Lewis 29 J.J.

MagicBizkit87 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 LOL... only 3 of those players are even a little good (Rondo, Davis, Perkins), and none of them are anywhere near the talent of the players I mentioned. edit...

wildthing2022000 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Anyone good? Must be if they won a title with them outside of Hudson, Giddens, & Walker who are/were rookies.

MagicBizkit87 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Must be if they won a title with them outside of Hudson, Giddens, & Walker who are/were rookies. Gabe Pruitt has more rings than Dwight Howard & Lebron James combined. 32-1? By the way Gabe Pruitt will never have anything to do with his teams winning championships. Gabe Pruitt is as talented as I am on the Basketball court. edit: I wonder if the Magic/Celtics games this season are going to be before 4 pm this season. I heard according to the Celtics, AARP rules they must be home by 7 to watch Matlock, and Murder She Wrote, and then be in bed by 8 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicBizkit87 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Or maybe the rest of the MLE will be used on Von Wafer? I think he would be a great option. Almost 10 PPG, and he's only 23 years old. Orlando keeps going young and future talented players, while Boston is on their way to the retirement home looking for players. http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_magic/2009/07/what-will-the-magics-next-move-be.html The Orlando Magic's roster still has a ways to go. The Magic only have nine players on the roster right now and are still looking at some key needs including a wing player. Some of those options might include Marquis Daniels, Keith Bogans and Von Wafer. Wafer's agent, Mitch Butler, told me he has had some preliminary discussions with the Magic about Wafer. He said they've targeted Orlando as a place where Wafer can "thrive and continue to grow as a basketball player." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicBizkit87 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 It seems the very mysterious Otis Smith is going to be matching the Mavs offer for Marcin Gortat. First of all, take it with a grain of salt, because it isn't on any websites out there, and it was from Channel 6 news, I think the channel was in Orlando. http://orlandomagiczone.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/8891029871/m/681101463 If this happens, sounds right. Orlando improve with young guys, and a new experience of being in the finals, meanwhile Boston, and Cleveland they get Shaq, and Rasheed. I think it's safe to say Otis Smith is playing Chess, while Fairy, and Ainge are playing Checkers. Also things seem likely that Barnes will be signed for the rest of the MLE, and Theo Ratliff for the Vet. Minimum as the third string Center. PG Nelson/Johnson SG Carter/Pietrus/Redick SF Rashard/Barnes PF Bass/Anderson C Dwight/Gortat/Ratliff Fill last 3 spots with either more Vet. Minimum's, or your best 3 players from the Summer League.

MagicBizkit87 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 damn, didn't realize so many people on this website don't know the difference in the words Bandwagoner, and Passion. It's really hysterical that you people don't know it. I really don't see who anyone could call someone a bandwagoner when they've been a fan of the same team for 16, almost 17 years now. Last I checked, the definition for bandwagoner is a person who jumps from team to team when they're doing good. I guarantee you if the Magic ever suck like they did a couple years ago, I will still represent this team like crazy. Yeah, I'm a bandwagoner though, my NBA, and NFL team have a combined 1 championship, and I wasn't even born to see it. You guys are right though, I'm definitely a bandwagoner... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
