I wonder if philly would let Turner go. If they keep Bynum they will need a sniper. However I don't like trading inside the division.

Detroit too

Yeah they could be but I question the chemistry of their young talent. Love Drummond though

Gallinari, Chandler, etc. Been there don't that.

I hate to break it to you but Cahndler was the main reason the Nuggets beat the Spurs last night. There are very good players beyond Kobe Lebron and Carmelo.

I like what they are doing though. They know exactly how to rebuild the right way. I was wrong, as was everyone else, about the pieces they got for Dwight. It looked like a terrible deal at the time.

Tanking doesn't put fans in seats. You can't tank year after year.

Maybe not in New York, but a team like Orlando can plan to tank a couple years in a row as long as there is a plan, which there absolutely is. This year they can get a good PG, next year a star wing.

Very few teams have been able to reload the way the Magic have since pretty much day one. Need to do a better job at what comes after.

They made the right moves, starting with the GM and coach they hired, who obviously allign with the young, rebuild pattern. That GM has a nice eye for talent and learned from the OKC group, and now is in the perfect, low risk situation. Adding a guy like Brooke Lopez was not the answer, so this was a great trade for them to restart the franchise. It's just going to take a few years.
