    The Magic are 2-1/2 games out of 4th-place in a wide-open Eastern Conference. They have no incentive to do us a favor and trade us their excellent backup center.

    If that “young, high ceiling core player” you speak of is Jabari, sign me up. ;)

    "contractually unhappy and a bit arrogant about 'who he is'" sounds a lot more like Tari than Bari. Jabari seems to have accepted the fact that he's not really much more than a 12/8 guy, which is sad because if he had more confidence he could be so much more. Tari, on the other hand, wants to continue as a starter and get starter money. As much as I'd like to keep him, with his injury history I'm afraid he's as good as gone.

    I agree that’s who Cod was referring to re arrogant and unhappy, but he was also referring to “another” young, core player. Completely agree about the attitude re Bari vs Tari. I actually really like Bari the person. Can’t stand him as a basketball player.
