i will be kinda mad if he has a great season
he needs to understand lewis is THE man
if he rotates off petrius it could be great
DEFENSE VINCE DEFENSE
Ariza starting at the SG w/ Lebron at the SF =
They still need a PF.
They basically said they couldn't afford to pay him, more or less, the same amount of money they threw at lesser players Kirk Hinrich and Luol Deng.
So I am not mad at Ben for going to Detroit. However, the Pistons just signed a $55 million sixth man, right? Rip and Stuckey still starting, especially after Curry was fired. Unless they are going to shop Rip?
Its not the "Best" trade, but I feel like the Magic need a veteran w/ some Finals Exp on that roster.
Carter wont need to nor can he be the focal point on the Offense. He can now be the 4th dude after Howard,Lewis, and (Regular Season Only) Jameer Nelson.
For defensive purposes Pietrus can handle the Wade/Lobe/Leboring.
Carter can also play less minutes which will extend his legs.
Plus every once in a while dude has a couple of games where he explodes like the old days.
however he will draw defenders away from double teaming howard
he can create a shot (which is key in the magic offense)
but for once he can pass the balls to other legitimate players
i cant wait to see his relationship with van gundy however
I follow the Nets/Knicks out of location.
Carter was the teacher to Devin Harris and the rest of the kids in NJ.
I dont get that bad attitude label.
Are u sure your not a Toronto fan that still holds a grudge from last century?
i am biased to the in-depth character analysis the toronto sports media had on him
however i was mostly worried about his shot selection
but being on a 3point shooting team and having howard rebounding
he can be as trigger happy as he wants
I hope not. Ariza is gangsta.
I doubt this will be the deal that put's them over the top. Orlando lost a tenacious defender in Courtney Lee.
While this isn't the worst movie the Magic could make, Skip was the peoples champ and Lee had some growing to do. Doesn't seem like a good long term investment. Plus with Nelson out these two got the Magic to the finals. Kinda eh. Hate to see Turkeyglue go too. It's hard to be a fan these days with the rotating door policy.
It's not coincidence the same teams keep winning championships
Artest > Ariza
Trevor wants to F*ck around and hold out for more money that isn't there.. We'll sign someone better
He doesn't play defense...He not a great rebounder and he only gets to the basket against lil dudes.
Vince hasn't played on a good team ever....Carter is hungry and ready...Orlando lost The Finals because they couldn't get in the paint....Vince solves that.
His newborn was keepin him up. Haha
Nah, but they structured the offense around him seemingly. Wouldn't it take awhile to get a rhythm going with a new offenseive scheme? Can they get right back there? Is it too soon to be talkin all this shit until everyone gets signed?
Ariz to Suns, hopefully.
It wasnt until the Finals until the Lakers figured out denying the ball to Howard, would turn the O out of wack, and then that nullified Lewis and forced Turk to freestyle at the perimeter.
Against the Cavs and before that, Orlando had everybody involved until crunch time, where Turkolu took advantage of his height.
Even if the Magic kept this team together they still would have came up short.
This was a Playoffs w/out The Garnett-lead Celtics.
Dudes snuck in and got served in the Finals, like the (exp doesnt matter) bitches they were.
Im keepin my eye on where ARTEST goes.
Mark - pleez stop w/ the Suns stuff. Its a wrap.
EARL CLARK FOR ROOKIE OF THE YEAR
Is this for real? Artest + Kobe = two egotistical freaks on one team. I hope its real!
KILLING IT
IT WILL BE AMAZING I'M SURE
RIGHT NOW ARTEST IS SAYIN:
THA NBA WHERE ARTEST HAPPENS
HOPPED OUT OF BED
TURN MY SWAG ON
TOOK A LOOK IN THE MIRROR
AND SAID WHAT'S UP
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
