[FC Barelona] has offered [Fran Vazquez] a four-year contract, but Orlando wants him to play with them in the NBA. His agent is in Madrid and he has already met with [FC Barcelona] and Magic representatives.

(Translated from the Spanish: "El Barça le ha hecho una oferta de renovación por cuatro años pero Orlando le quiere convencer para que vaya a la NBA. Su agente está en Madrid y ya se ha visto las caras con representantes del Barça y de los Orlando Magic.")

franny "the wasted draft pick" who?

by magicman775 on Feb 13, 2011 4:40 PM EST reply actions

You are wrong........

That what was exactly San Antonio was thinking about Luios Scola before he came to the NBA and traded his rights to Houston and look now Scola is one of the best PF in the league….. Do not judge Fran Vazquez before see him playing in the NBA.

This would mean more if I didn't know his draft history...

I hope I get to be surprised!

Go Magic/Bucs/Gators/Rays!

Sign him, por favor.

by Ol' Uncle Munnerlyn on Feb 13, 2011 5:12 PM EST reply actions

Actually, how would we go about doing this?

Do we sign him based off of the rookie salary scale?

by Ol' Uncle Munnerlyn on Feb 13, 2011 5:19 PM EST reply actions

Nope

That only applies for three seasons after he was drafted.

Although

Orlando can still use a scale contract, they just don’t have to.

Could we acquire Fazwuez now or

do we have to wait to the summer to get him?

by gocoldturkey on Feb 13, 2011 6:28 PM EST reply actions

Summer

Barcelona won’t be done with their season until May.

Is it finally "sh*t or get off the pot" time?

I still don't think Fran will ever come over but if he did...

what would our projected front court rotation be for next season?

by GameManager on Feb 13, 2011 7:00 PM EST reply actions

Would depend how quickly he adapts to the defensive system. 100% certain on this.

by MagicMark on Feb 13, 2011 7:03 PM EST up reply actions

Bass/Anderson/Clark at PF
Howard/Vazquez/Orton at C.

He could

But Orlando is stacked at the 4.

by eltharion_doa on Feb 13, 2011 7:13 PM EST up reply actions

That's a pretty solid big-man rotation.

Too bad I highly doubt Vazquez will ever man up and come over to play in the NBA.

by The BBQ Chicken Madness on Feb 13, 2011 10:31 PM EST up reply actions

If he would come over it would be amazing still

But I have to ask who are the players that we could have picked over Vazquez?

by era2008 on Feb 13, 2011 8:08 PM EST reply actions

Danny Granger

Nate Robinson, David Lee, Brandon Bass, Ronny Turiaf, Monta Ellis.

by eltharion_doa on Feb 13, 2011 8:20 PM EST up reply actions

That is not a slouch group of players.

by Matt1325 on Feb 13, 2011 8:42 PM EST up reply actions

The ideal draft

Would have been Granger and Ellis. Couple of pretty useful guys…

by eltharion_doa on Feb 13, 2011 8:44 PM EST up reply actions

There's pretty much guys like that every year. The draft is a crapshoot.

by MagicMark on Feb 13, 2011 10:38 PM EST up reply actions

Yeah, seriously.

If you think we feel stupid about Vazquez, imagine how Atlanta feels about Marvin Williams or Detroit feels about Darko.

Otis Smith, what you've just done is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard of. At no point in your rambling, incoherent trades were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this blog is now dumber for having witnessed it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
