@Region Philbis,

Two seasons in a row for Yao - I remember reading somewhere last year that one scenario for Yao was his problems are career ending.

some big trades were made today --

Quote:

The Orlando Magic capped a blockbuster day of wheeling and dealing by trading one franchise cornerstone
for another, sending Rashard Lewis to the Washington Wizards for Gilbert Arenas on Saturday.

That trade followed news of a deal that sent Vince Carter to the Phoenix Suns in a six-player swap that
returns Hedo Turkoglu to the Magic.

The Magic also get Jason Richardson and Earl Clark from the Suns in exchange for Carter, Marcin Gortat,
Mickael Pietrus, a 2011 first-round pick and cash considerations.

@Region Philbis,

I heard that Turkoglu has played his best ball w/Howard, and Howard loves playing w/him. Also, Hedo works best in the Magic system. Could this be the one piece to take Orlando to the next level?

@BillW,

Well, Hedo wasn't doing anything here in Phx, that's for sure. Hate to lose J-Rich, though.

i can understand phx wanting to shake things up, but orl is 16-10.
this might be a step back for them...

@Region Philbis,

The Magic have recent history of being very successful in regular season but need a much better "tournment" team for post season. As I said before, Hedo's most career success has been in his earlier stay with Dwight and Magic. This could be a very good trade for Magic. Howard needs help down low to get triple teams off him.

Time will tell and - and, if it doesn't work, there maybe time this year to make more trades to get it right. With the Knicks on the prowl now, the east is becoming more interesting.

lucky 13 for the C's.

I'm thinking the Suns really wanted Gortat -- he's been a very strong inside presence when he's had playing time (at least in past years; haven't seen him play this season). Pietrus should also be able to work well off of Nash. And in return for that they get to eat Vince Carter's contract.

No TV now, though, so b-ball and I are going to be drifting apart. So ----- Go Bucks!

@patiodog,

That's what the local sports hacks are saying. It will be nice to have another legitimate big man. That and they were able to unload Hedo's contract, which could have become an issue with cap space in the future. Pietrus should give the Suns another defensive wing player, to help spell Grant Hill. We'll see.

@Ticomaya,

Pietrus didn't play much D for the magic -- he was more of an assassin off the bench, especially in the playoffs.

Gortat is a better-than-average big off the bench...

and, so goes the game of roundball - big moves happen after Super Bowl....Then is when I start watching, cause then is when the real games start being televised. Actually, about 2 weeks before taking up college football time and fewer NFL games.

Golf tomorrow - hoping Artie stays home - long drive, going about 145 miles to warm weather.

@Region Philbis,

Suns could use a better-than-average big, off the bench or not.
