Is anyone else rooting for Duncan and Hill to sign with Magic

Good topic. Although my main priority (after the Rockets) is that the Lakers suck, Chicago sucking isn't a bad thing at all. I actually like David Robinson, so Duncan leaving would ruin his last few years for sure (wouldn't mind him finishing his career in Houston though). It would also rid the Western Conference of a Laker rival in the Spurs, which I wouldn't like. You also have to consider that Hill leaving the Pistons increases the chances of us landing a better draft choice (from Detroit). If it came down to it though, I'd rather a Duncan-led Orlando win the title over LA anyday.

Tell me I sold out, go ahead

 

I for some reason am also rooting for Duncan and Hill to sign with the Magic. I guess I just want the eastern conference to get better or something. It's sick how much better the west is than the east. Especially with young teams like us, vancouver, dallas, CLIPPERS? gettin better.

This is what all Rockets fans should want: Tim Duncan signs a one-year deal so he can spend one year with the veterans he likes and then see if he has any future in SanAn, something that apparently is very possible.

Grant Hill gives Joe Dumars a chance to prove the team is going places by signing a one-year deal, another big possibility.

Rashard Lewis, because he doesn't want to be in Seattle long but because of his restricted-ness he has to, signs a one year deal, knowing that his hometown Rockets have upcoming caproom. Another large possibility.

So instead of bidding on Michael Finley(who doesn't fit a need of ours) and Chris Webber(who is happy in Sacramento), we also have possibilities of Hill, TD, and Rashard.

I want the Magic to get better so they can beat Philly and the Bucks. With their records lower that means the Rocks get better draft picks whenever they give them up. Although with the Bucks pick being protected I want them to hang around at the 11th.

I like your analysis OMR but I can't say I agree with you. I've stated several times on this BBS that I'd like to see Hill and Duncan sign with Detroit and San Antonio respectively. Yes, it may jeopardize our chances of retaining Mobley, but if they(Orl, Chi) give him more than $4mil then good luck to them - they've probably overpaid.

The best thing that could happen for basketball would be for Chicago and Orlando to fail miserably in their cap clearing, tanking (in Chicago's case) behaviour. Quite frankly, its a joke.

I couldnt agree with u more dafranchise.

In Rudy I trust.

 

I don't care where they sign, so long as it isn't together. I'm here to win a championship and having those two talents together puts the magic in competition with the Rocks. We'd still whoop their *ss, but we'd only win maybe 4 games to 1, or something like that...
