    In New Jersey, Terrence Williams was a better player than Courtney Lee who was on the same team. Just shows how circumstances can make or break players.

    But I guess its a different situation though since Battier was unrestricted and CLee is restricted.

    Sorry bro had to go, stay strong my friend ;).

    Wouldn´t you also be shocked if Magic gambles, doesn´t trade him, D12 doesn´t want to extend, and they are left with the decision come trade deadline, of trading him for scraps, or go all in and try to win it all, with the same team as this year, but knowing that the chances of that hapening are 0??? I would (under current CBA, don´t know how the league will protect teams, against franchise players demanding trades to specific teams).

    Utah did what every team should do if you have a franchise guy that indicates that he does not want to stay, trade him, wile you still have all the power.

    The moment the player and his agent start controlling the media, and starts talking about possible destinations, you know you are in trouble, IMO.

    Why would you sign with a team that traded you right after you helped them get to the NBA Finals? and it looks like Orlando is headed in the wrong direction..

    Has anyone considered that the dude on the radio was lying or stretching his story? Are we at a point where we believe EVERYthing we hear as truth and run with it? He said he was talking to Courtney at a resturant and he said was wants to sign with the magic because he will be a free-agent....hello red flag number 1. Why would Lee say that when he has two years left; one being a team option? Unless there is some kind of clause in his contract that allows him to leave (i doubt it) then why would he tell this dude that? My thoughts..........Truth Stretching

    It's simular to Woodchucks chucking wood....

    Eeeehhhhhhh....


    Terrance offered some play making ability on a team devoid of playmakers. Courtney is a better fit within a balanced offense. Wouldn't go as far to say he was better.

    If Terrence was allowed control of the offence, he did a lot to help that team. Here, he isn't allowed to make playmaking decisions; which is where he is most effective.
