    No way... If ANYTHING I see us giving up either Lamb OR Motiejunas (letting Orlando choose) but NOT both. :rolleyes:

    Makes sense if true. I'd hate to lose him though. The only thing Orlando doesn't need is PFs. DMo would play center for them.

    13 days? 13 days = August 2nd. Motiejunas can't be traded until the 5th at the earliest.

    I would be OK with that trade. Don't know about the source's credibility though.

    DMo and Lamb are the players with the highest potential on our squad. No way we give up both. Motiejunas would be a perfect four to pit alongside Howard, and Lamb is just one of the best, if not the, shooting guard prospects in the league.

    They're getting Kevin Martin, two first rounders, potentially a second, either Patrick Patterson or Morris. What do they think of Terrence Jones? or Royce White?

    Would really hate to lose Parsons, Dmo, or Lamb.

    What deal could we structure that would be very similar to the Paul or Melo trade?

    Didn't Oielpere/Popeye legitimately die a few years back? If so, that's really in bad taste.

    Fullcourt is correct. This potential trade makes sense for ORL if they view Donuts as a center. ORL doesnt need a PF so I dont see why they would be interested in White and Jones. On the other hand, Lamb would replace Jrich's role there while we wait for Jrich's contract to expire. Not the ideal trade but it does make sense for Orlando to want an up and coming SG and a 7-footer with a high upside.

    It actually doesn't make sense that we would give out best 2 prospects.

    Looks believable to me and matches up with what cyberx said lately.

    And as to why he doesn't post here, I'm guessing he doesn't want to deal with all the ungrateful little ****s like in the Doc Rocket thread.

    He could also be a troll just using all the speculative information gathered up, though it would have to be an old timer on this site due to the details he listed.

    IIRC, that isnt how he spelled that name. I tried to do a username lookup here by that spelling of his Oily nick, and it doesnt show.

    Alright. Thank you. I would hate to give away Motie, Parsons or Lamb

    That does make a whole lot of sense.

    Still; to give up those two guys for potentially just a one year rental is tough. Dwight could just bail to Dallas and leave us screwed. If we had to give up just one to seal the deal? Could handle that

    Guess I'm letting Rocket bias and attachment to the rookies get in the way. I trust Morey to do what is right. I like all our rookies.

    Who are the Magic hoping to keep that will be on their roster?

    More interesting is that in his first post, the guy identified docrocket as the VP of Rocket's Player Personnel. If he's a troll, what a well thought out trolling to even research our other insider or even know his username here.

    And the poster misspelled it, the correct spelling was Oeilpere. It's probably just DD trolling the Orlando forum.
