Would be a scary monster if it works out.

Shit just got real

[ashbelly]

So will he be shooting 3 points too ?? and who are they giving up ??

[kaiiu]

I have mixed feelings about this deal if it goes down

[blablabla]

for who ??

[D.J.]

On one hand, Memphis will lose him for nothing in the summer if they don't trade him now. At the same time, Z-Bo is easily the team MVP and will be the reason if Memphis makes the playoffs. Memphis has made the playoffs only three times since '96 and haven't made it since '06. I'd rather make the playoffs with Z-Bo and lose him than trade him now and have potentially have a bunch of picks end up busting.

For J-Rich?
Arenas?
Nelson+Redick+Bass?

I don't know who they're offering but they made the previous trade because they want to win. They must realize it won't happen, if they're still committed to winning I say, go for it. Whats the worst that can happen, they aren't getting past the Celts and probably the Bulls as is.

they'll have to give up their precious 3 point shooters, anderson/redick/jrich/arenas/.. Van gundy without those shooters wouldn't know what to do. Also i don't think they can count of dwights low post scoring to carry them throughout the playoffs.

I think this is more about or less about showing DHO that they'll do whatever it takes to make a winner so he'll stay in Orl. Not sure how it works out after the trade is made. But like I said it could be very scary.

[boozehound]

very limited details on this. I would be very interesting to see ho play with a serious lowpost pf/rebounder. I presume it would be something like nelson (which is dumb imo)+Anderson+Rich+picks?

[Funnyfuka]

arenas is a ****ing dead weight.

[boozy]

awful move by griz, but if the magic can pull it off it could be like the pau trade for the lakers. the upside for the magic is huge.

This would be an unbelievably stupid trade for Orlando. I guarantee Dwight won't play as well as he has been offensively. Howard's post game has become very consistent, it's becoming rare for him not to score 20, he's at almost 23 ppg on the season and at almost 25 ppg in January/February.

And you will not win a title with Zach Randolph as your 1st or second option, the guy only made the playoffs twice and that was as a bench player.

Orlando needs an all-star caliber perimeter player, whether it be a point guard or a swingman, Zach will not help them at all.
