2009 Free-Agency Thread

[The Young One]

Dude's a scrub I call em how I see em. You guys hype scrubs all the time. Dude isnt a starter on any team.

 

[The Young One]

And I dont see how 9 and 3 and 5 which are luke's numbers are basically the same to 12 3 and 5....ramon efficiency is higher as well

 

[Mexi]

i said ramon was better
but ridnour isnt a scrub. your being harsh

 

[The Young One]

He's a backup point/fringe starter in this league at best.

 

[Mexi]

i know
thats not a scrub though

The Orlando Magic are close to reaching a deal with free agent forward Matt Barnes which will put him in blue for the next two years, ESPN's Marc Stein is reporting.

Barnes, 29, averaged 10.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists last season for Phoenix and is regarded as a versatile player off the bench who can guard forwards of all sizes and make the occasional 3-point shot.

[Mexi]

Cavs, Spurs, Magic, Celtics gobbling everybody

 

[MapleLeaf]

wtf with the magic

 

[elcheato]

Barnes wants to be a Cav, too bad we have no room lol

 

[Pugz]

Magic are improving a lot thiss off-season, I guess they weren't lying about paying the lux tax.

 

[RipCity32]

They are really going to miss Hedo though. Even if they did get VC to replace him.

 

[Pugz]

Yea, I said Hedo is a chucker(which he is) but the fact he does so much else. But the Magic will have a crap load of depth now.

 

[Mexi]

hedo got overrated quick

so did gortat

 

[RipCity32]

Hedo is hardly overrated.

 

[Pugz]

Gortat isn't overrated, Mexi don't be dumb. He may be slightly overpaid but not overrated. Dude is a great backup who could start on a lot of teams.

Hedo, is slightly overrated though.

 

[Mexi]

VC and Bass > Hedo

 

[Mexi]

Gortat isn't overrated, Mexi don't be dumb. He may be slightly overpaid but not overrated. Dude is a great backup who could start on a lot of teams.

Hedo, is slightly overrated though.

i disagree with gortat. he's nothing special. cmon pugz

 

[elcheato]

VC and Bass > Hedo

The Magic also gave up there starting PG and SG from there finals run.

 

[Mexi]

yeah i guess so.
but they got all-star jameer back.

and now rashard can go back to SF.

eh i think they're the same team. maybe 3rd in the east. 2nd max IMO

 

[Pugz]

i disagree with gortat. he's nothing special. cmon pugz

Gortat is a great backup big who can start, he also knows his role. He plays solid D and can get garbage buckets or even hit you with a hook. He's just overpaid.
