DeShawn Stevenson requesting a sign and trade

Source?

I don't know. This guy doesn't play D and can't shoot very well.

 

Can you give a little better source than an e-friend? Newspaper? Radio?

 

Youth - Check
Athleticism - Check
Decent Size - Check
Good Defense - No Check
Good Oustide Shooter - Fails Miserably

 

He would be another Keith Bogans basically.

Here's a little tidbit about Orlando wanting to move up:

OK, I know where he got his source from. Apparently it is from a guy name MagicConfid who gets alot of things right. I googled "Magicconfid" and many are using him as a source. So he must have some credibility.

Here it is:

 

No thanks. Like McGrady posted, the guy is basically a Bogans, and I would not give Bogans the MLE. Stevenson has a 26% 3-pt FG, including a miserable 13% last season.

 

Here's another source many will trust :

Hell no. We don't need another scrub like Anderson riding the bench and sucking.

 

Please don't compare DeShawn to DA. That guy is a disgrace. DeShawn is a pretty good defender we could basically get for free (4.2 trade exception). I would be fine with nabbing this guy, we need all the depth we can get.

 

This guy is a complete non-factor.

 

o hell no, i ll rather resign bogans

 

ok guys he shoots decent 46%, hes a decent defender, and yes he cant shoot the three, and because of that he doesnt attempt many, only 15 on the season last year, he can be a good 6th man off the bench, im not sure about him as a starter, but yes he is most def an improvement over bogans

 

In a thread I created a while back, I mentioned him as a stopgap type of player we might want to look at, but if he's looking for full MLE money, nevermind...

 

Hes a good defender better than Bogans I dont know why you guys say he has no defense. Hes just a bad shooter and horrible at the line. Definately not worth the full mle though.

 

He's looking to be S&T'ed not signed with the MLE.

 

don't forget, they kid is a thug. didn't he have a sexual assault charge as well as numerous on-court antics that were deplorable?

 

so the rockets would be paying 5+ mil/year for someone who's a slight upgrade over bogans?. no thanks.

 

I'll take Bogans back before I do that...

 

I wouldn't have a problem with taking him for a chunk of the TE (NOT THE MLE). What do we lose? He's still young and he still has potential. He's a lot of the things we need, even if not all. I'd be fine with 2 or 3 million a year. 10-15 million dollar contract. That's a fair price. It certainly couldn't be worse than what we've gotten with Stromile Swift for the MLE.
