Scraping the Bottom of the Barrel

as the best player on that list behind the universally recognized Matt Barnes. I’d be perfectly happy to have either player.

Daniels filled in admirably for Mike Dunleavy this last year while he was injured. If we’re going to look at his stats, we need to be looking at last years stats, not his career stats, because he really came out of nowhere and turned a corner in his career.

I’m a fan of Walter Hermann as well, based on what he showed toward the end of 2006-07. He’s gotten no run since then, which has surprised me, but sometimes there’s a reason for these things. Largest hands on a living human being though. Not kidding…

Gooden, whom you didnt mention, Barnes, Wilcox, Pachulia, Frye and Marquis.

Pachulia and Barnes are easily the best options on this list. If we could sign them, I’d be delighted – fill out the rest of the roster with the best three performers in the summer league.

that we essentially need players at every position? that can’t be a good sign

we sign Barnes, Gooden, and ZaZa.

Gooden too, but Zaza has more toughness and attitude. He is not a fan of KG, and he doesnt hide it at all, thats good. Someone who will go down there and bang with KG, Perks, and Sheed with Dwight.

I am counting on JJ to be a solid contributor next year which I will most certainly regret.
Then it maybe won’t happen.

If you don’t know who he is think Bizarro Courtney Lee. Extremely gifted on the offensive end but still works hard on the defensive end minimizing mistakes. I think he could be great for us as a key bench player or a starter. If we start him we can slide VC over to the 3 and still have Pietrus as our 6th man.

The Magic really need to jump on this since we lost our youth (Gortat,Lee) in this offseason. Von brings both youth and ability and probably for not much $

so many missed wide open corner 3’s the nightmares… shiver the nightmares

How come no one likes Linas Kleiza? He seems like a perfect fit in our system. Hits the 3, can play the 3 or 4, good rebounder, good production off the bench.

Kleiza, CJ Watson, and Chris Mihm our my top 3 guys. Looks like Richardson is coming back and Hendrix from the summer league team.

“As a capable three-point shooter who can play either forward position, Linas Kleiza will have a job in the NBA for a very long time. He’s the kind of player who could fall through the cracks this year in free agency and end up a bargain, whether for the Nuggets or someone else if Denver is fearful of the luxury tax. Matt Barnes started 40 games in Phoenix and averaged double-figures for the first time in his career, but it wasn’t an especially strong campaign in terms of advanced stats. To boost his True Shooting Percentage, Barnes is going to have to start hitting three-pointers at a better clip, having made 29.3 percent and 34.3 percent the last two years in more than 500 combined attempts.” -Basketball Prospectus, which also liked Dahntay Jones and Ime Udoka.
Would love to see Magic snatch Kleiza, thatd be a steal right now w/ the market slowing down hitting reality.

Looks like our bargain fa centers go down to 2… Petro is a young, 7’0 ft, mobile and can block some shots. He is a project that I think Ewing and the Magic should take on. Sign ‘em to alot of years though so another Gortat situation doesn’t arise

didn’t you also want the Magic to sign Bass?? Man why do you want an undersized center so bad. They both would get rolled consistently playing C

but Ratliff has nothing left… While hendrix is very young and very cheap. Plus I heard he’s built like a house
