    lol xiki ..how much it shows that you are a fan of a longtime contender lol

    Win for a contending team and for a middling team in a small market are two diferent things. Win now for the Magic is to make the playoffs.

    Their owner before last year was rumoured to have become very impatient.
    Hammond has tons of experience in dealing with Herb Kohl , where the end all be all was to become the 8th seed and sell some playoff tickets.

    Splitting hairs??? I just showed you that Myles Turner has been playing a new position this season (PF) and it has effected his production and confidence.

    Collins is a natural 4 while Turner is a natural 5.

    Just acknowledge you got it wrong, jeezus.

    Cam Reddish looks a lot like a young 20 yr old Kobe Bryant, the way he uses his body for lay ups and dunks. Cam improved his 3 point shot already, which was a weakness, now it is a strength.

    Cam Reddish can be better than John Collins and the rest of the roster.

    Trae Young is the best on the roster. Cam Reddish is Potential Star Level talent.

    Cam Reddish and Hunter I really want on the Rockets.

    Agree that Hammond is a mushroom, the time to trade AG was last season when his value was at his highest.

    Everyone knew that AG was going to be available as soon as Isaac developed. Isaac before his injury was getting DPOY consideration.

    Time to strike is now.

    I agree that Reddish has more upside than Collins. But no denying that Collins is the more productive player right.

    But Reddish would be clear upgrade over House while Collins is not an upgrade over Capela.

    Does not help that both have red flags. Reddish-effort/consistency and Collins-banned substances.

    Rockets get Aaron Gordon, Cam Reddish

    Hawks get Clint Capela

    Magic get Rockets 1st Round Pick and multi Rockets players

    Cam Reddish consistency, effort sounds like Tracy McGrady. Hawks big issue is not having All Star Veterans, to guide Cam Reddish and many young players. Russell Westbrook will guide, teach, advise Cam if he gets traded here for sure.

    previous owner who Hammond built his whole carreer around pacifying him and conning the fans with win now moves. For example a sophomore Tobias Harris for half a season of JJ Reddick.
    Hammond has a huge track record of his modus operandi already. Getting shafted in trades time ater time and selling the future for win now vets to make the 8th seed.

    Imagine Reddish on this team, plays 3 minutes, misses two 3s -> benched for the season :D

    On a serious note, i have to think that if the Hawks really trade Collins, it's because they're set to move Hunter at the 4, and if they are interested in swapping a guy who can create like Collins for complementary guys like Capela and Adams, it tells me they probably won't move Reddish since compared to Hunter he has potential to develop into a scorer so, i have to think they might want to have at least three guys out there able to create going forward...which makes even more sense if you think their gm worked for the Warriors in the past, you could actually think about it this way:

    Capela (Looney)
    Hunter (Draymond)
    Reddish (Durant)
    Huerter (Klay)
    Young (Curry)


    So yeah, i wouldn't really expect them to ship more then one of those guys, although they do have their pick, which is going to be top 5/10 so...you never know i guess.

    Magic will need one of Hawks young guys for this trade to work, but I like the idea!

    Moving Capela will yield us a lateral move that gives us flexibility and maybe a pick.

    Why are we looking to trade Clint to the Hawks. All their players are too tall for us anyways. We should just look at some local Elementary schools. It'll Save Tilman a bunch of money by paying them in ice cream cookies and milk.

    What? I'm talking about two bigs, I don't care if you call Turner a 4 or a 5. The whole point is they are trying to split up their two bigs.

    It's February 2, and Morey is still useless and doing nothing behind the scenes.
