    I was reading somewhere that the Magic are holding out to get the most value out of the Rockets. And that NACHBAR was involved in the trade. It was also on the first ESPN article, but then they took his name out. Are we really giving them NACHBAR if so, I believe we are giving up way to much and we should just keep our original team

    he was only mentioned once...and never again after that...so imo, Boki stays unless he is needed for another acquisition.

    I dont think Nachbar is part of the deal. It was mentioned initially but I still think the deal is Francis/Mobley/Cato for Tmac/Howard/Lue/Gaines.

    However, as mentioned in another thread, Lue is going to opt out of his contract this Wednesday so if the trade does not happen by then he will be out of the deal, but the deal will still be able to work moneywise.

    Someone mentioned on another board that ESPN news reported that GS might be the 3rd team:

    Houston Recieves: T-Mac/Howard/Lue/Gaines

    Orlando Recieves: Francis/Richardson/Robinson/Jones

    GS Recieves: Mobley/Gooden

    I think its BS, but so is this whole T-Mac fiasco.

    Yeah the whole third team thing was because initially Steve didn't want to play in Orlando. And in this proposed deal it's Cat and Cato that are shipped away. Doesn't make any sense. And it seems like Steve is ok with Orlando so it's probably total BS.

    Boki is our future, he is based off potential. DId u see him in the playoffs. he gave soo much energy off the bench. THe dunk and block both on KARL MALONE. I mean his shot isn't falling right now but cmon. I think he is gonna be good. We passed on soo many players for him. We can't just give random draft picks away.

    Actually ESPN has been talking about it as has Orlando fans. I hope we can keep Nachbar, the guy has some talent. He obviously isn't a deal breaker, but if we can keep him that adds a lot of flexibility and athletic ability to the line-up. Nachbar doesn't "suck". God forbid people actually give a player 2 years to develop before labeling him a scrub.

    I like Boki a lot...he plays with a lot of energy and a fierce competitor. I hope they play him a lot more though. He demonstrated he can create problem for the opponent in the Playoffs. He's quick...good defender..can shoot...seems like he can do it all out there. Just need him to play man!
