big ? on Hill, but if he does come back and able to play the whole season even at 30 mins a game that is a nice line-up in the east especially with teams like the knicks and boston making the playoffs and Hornets moving out West btw should i order my Mobley Magic top now??
apparently some of the players involved in the trade will end up in charlotte... magic hill cato okafor * francis bobcats * j. howard drobjnak mobley d. howard ???
Even without Grant Hill that's easily a playoff team. How many times did we say that if we were in the East we would be in the playoffs and making a run at the Finals? And that was BEFORE Yao Ming! Now they have the same core three players we had (Cato, Francis, Mobley) Okafor and they'll easily find a SF, they probably have one on the roster, and a Gooden. Not only is that a playoff team, like DaDa said, that's a Top 4 team, easily replacing New Orleans in the East. That team could make a run at the conference finals or beyond, especially if Hill comes back!
Pat Garrity aint that bad at sf. Look at this line up. Cato Okafor Garrity Mobley Francis If Francis played defense like he did this season, and Mobley, Cato, and Okafor play defense that they're capabable of playing, this can be a very good team. I would even say a Detroit Pistonish team with a little less defense and a little more offense.
Ah....... Eh, wth, the guy's leaving, might aswell let him go in peace. Roam free my delusional brethren! Roam free.
I'm not saying he played great defense, but watching the games, it's very obvious that he is playing defense. All I'm saying is with a defensive front court like cato and Okafor, a defensive stopper in Cat, and if Francis and Garrity atleast playing defense, that could be a good enough defensive team to be in every game.
Like I've been saying all along, this trade makes Orlando into Detroit-Lite. This is an excellent trade for both teams.
Just because of this I think I'm gonna have to get NBA TV and it's going to be hard for me this year because I gotta go to college. This sport is killing my education.
Or Orlando could do the rumored Chicago trade: Hinrich/Lue or Gaines Mobley/Stevenson Hill/Williams Okafor/Gooden Chandler/Cato
