    Can't imagine them accepting any offer we could make, unless it's a moronic Billy King-style deal where we give them our picks every other year for the next decade.

    Cannot for the life of me figure why they would trade one of their better players. Seriously.

    They have Biyombo, Vooch, and Ibaka to take most of the 4/5 minutes, and that could be an awesome rotation and you can still ball if one of them is out with an injury.

    Why would you trade Vooch for *anything* on the Rox roster? Just doesn't make sense to me.

    This "source" was saying that we offered Bazemore only 60m right ? Very credible :rolleyes:

    Because Biyombo and Vucevic can't play together ? If i was them, i would try ibaka as a center too.

    That could have very well been true at the time.

    Would be a very dangerous team if we got Vucci.

    Why? Because he can dunk? How helpful were those dunks in getting his team to the playoffs?

    This is a guy I would have no problems paying $20mill + for.

    He's on a super cheap $11-12mill contract for next 4 years, I have no idea what it would take to get this done.

    Maybe capela + brewer + DEKKER + 1st & 1st/2nd ????

    He's a helluva player who absolutely fits in with what we're doing.

    GREAT pick up if we could swing a deal. I've had him on a few fantasy teams and he's consistent to say the least. Plus he can shoot free throws at 74-75% so we can actually have a great chance at winning the foul contest near the end of games.

    I doubt the Magic's motivation to move him however, with Ibaka just newly acquired. It makes little sense to move Vucevic when you can pair him with a pretty darn good athletic PF who can block shots, shoot 3's and has a great jumper.

    Smart move to trade Gordon. He is vastly overrated and his ceiling is not high.

    I still don't understand why they signed Biyombo with Vucevic & Ibaka already there. Do they expect Biyombo to play PF next to Vucevic when Ibaka rests?
