    This is why the rox effed up by not drafting gay or brewr. If nothing else, u can always package a young talent.

    Im not a fan of this trade I have to say. Think the magic just got older and traded away a couple of guys that on their day can go crazy and win a game for them.

    Lee >> Brooks >>> Landry

    Houston, where dillutional fans can be found.

    This is not the best of trades; Magic will be in luxury tax hell if they resign Hedo.

    VC all most gets traded every offseason/midseason but it NEVER goes down.

    Lets see how this one plays out.

    So who you guys think is the best team in the EAST?


    Orlando + Vince

    Cleveland + Shaq

    Boston + (healthy) Garnett

    Jun 25, 2009 6:35 PM EST
    The Orlando Magic have acquired eight-time NBA All-Star guard Vince Carter and forward Ryan Anderson from the New Jersey Nets in exchange for guard Rafer Alston, forward-center Tony Battie and guard Courtney Lee, General Manager Otis Smith announced this evening. “Vince (Carter) gives us a veteran, go-to scoring presence, especially at the end of games,” Smith said.

    It's official the Rockets have thrown in the towel. They're not trading McGrady and if McGrady isn't traded it's lottery shopping in 2010 draft.

    Wow, so the Magic basically turned Brian Cook into Vince Carter? Pretty good work.

    Kinda surprised ORL would give up Lee, but I guess they're going for everything now. Haha, Lee goes from being a rising star on that team, to blowing that layup in the Finals, to getting dealt in the offseason.

    Well the question now would be, will they be able to resign the guy that will throw the alleyoop?
