They have an actual vested interest in trading away current wins for future wins. That's to say, Ellis+Udoh is worth more wins than Bogut+SJax today - because neither Bogut or Jackson are playing >_> but Bogut is a better player than Ellis is and is positionally more scarce. I hate tanking in general, but this is not a bad plan. Embrace the tank. I will turn you one day. Jax is irrelevant to this trade really. Bucks wanted to shed his salary and Warriors took him as a means to get Bogut. Jax may play some token minutes for the rest of the season, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's amestied (or wait, I think maybe you can't amesty a traded player? Not sure). Either way, I doubt Jax is part of any plans for the Warriors after this season. | ||

Are you really saying that Orlando is on par with Miami/Chicago/and even OKC? yep, can't amnesty a recently acquired player via trade. Dooooooood! The Bobcats beat Orlando! By logic Bobcats > Orlando > Miami > Chicago | ||

Are you really saying that Orlando is on par with Miami/Chicago/and even OKC? Yeah, their record proves it o.0 The magic are the 3rd best team in the east and 5th best team overall... I'd go like this: Oklahoma Chicago Heat Magic Lakers Clippers Atlanta They are a top 5 team. The clippers are too young/inexperienced. Utah has no chance (they aren't going to make playoffs)...The magic have destroyed milwaukee 3 times this year. It hasn't even been a game yet. Oklahoma is definitely IMO the best team. THey have the most energy, but they play basically no defense. Chicago has the best overall lineup, but the heat can go on a run if lebron and wade light up. The magic are deep as shit, and if they nail 3's they are unbeatable. Vendiz: That was a fluke, come on now lol. How can it be a fluke for the magic to beat the heat twice? | ||

Yeah Gay is out due to having concussion symptoms. Also while talking about injuries Randolph is out for at least another game T.T. Speights is really stepping up for us tonight though. | ||

OKC plays average defense, they're long and help each other, that's basically defense. | ||

Orlando is definitely NOT a deep team. I mean seriously...it took a career night from Jameer Nelson and a lot of terrible play from Miami role players and now they are elite? On March 14 2012 11:09 Jibba wrote: The Magic definitely show up for the Heat but they have a lot of weird losses and I don't think they can beat the Sixers or the Pacers in a series. They give the Heat a tough time because the Heat's biggest weaknesses are defending the 3 and rebounding, which are the Magic's strength so strangely enough, the Heat might actually be one of their best matchups in the playoffs. That doesn't mean they can beat the other 1-5 teams though. Actually Orlando matches up with them pretty bad. Wade has always killed that team, and Lebron has always chewed up Turk. The only issue I see for Miami in a series vs Orlando is their role players being bad. Any time Dexter Pittman enters the game I act like it's a Juwan Howard sighting and assume Miami will lose.

Regression to the mean... actually I think Amare and Melo are killing his mojo? but still did people really expect him to be elite all year? Last night vs Chicago he was playing really well. However some questionable decisions by Baron Davis and some others killed the team. When Amar'e got hot they stopped passing him the ball. I mean, it's only Carlos Boozer defending him. Melo in the post vs some small defender and they don't give him the rock. Speaking of Melo, with Luol Deng out with an injury he ended up going 8 for 21. That's the kind of shit that made me say NY was stupid for trading for him. He's just not efficient at all and it's REALLY killing their offense. People can blame D'Antoni all they want but it's been 2 half seasons now and when Carmelo Anthony is not in a Knicks uniform the offense is way, way better. | ||

But yes, if GSW can hit in the lottery 1/2/3 and land Michael Gilchrist or Harrison Barnes or even Perry Jones (total Warriors player - tantalizing and disappointing) at 6-7-8, they should be very happy. It's not gonna make them a Conference Finals team but it should put them in a nice spot. | ||

They've got JJ and Ryan anderson/big baby coming off the bench...I still wish they had gortat, but that's a damn good two players right there. Both could start for a lot of NBA teams. Jameer Nelson has played garbage the entire year, but maybe this is him getting back to his old 15pts 6assists type of play. Who knows? Miami HAS no role players. They have 3 players. Bosh, Wade, Lebron. Actually Orlando matches up with them pretty bad. Wade has always killed that team, and Lebron has always chewed up Turk. The only issue I see for Miami in a series vs Orlando is their role players being bad. Any time Dexter Pittman enters the game I act like it's a Juwan Howard sighting and assume Miami will lose. The magic match up worst with the atlanta hawks, the past two years have proven this. Out of the top teams, the magic best match up with the heat. | ||
