    Wow

    I'm assuming if it goes down ORL won't keep Turk

    NJ has to put up with a trash season if it goes down.

        Fair question:

        Is ORL better with Carter

        or

        with Turk/Lee/Skip

        I'm not too sure. They matched up with CLE very nicely but then ran into some trouble when they met a team with a normal sized SG

          Tough call. I actually hope to see VC in Orlando for some reason.

            Vince is not a high flyer anymore, but he can still really, really shoot..and he absolutely will take the big shot late in the game with zero fear.


            The only fear with Vince, is that you just never know when the dog will show up.

            With a team that can certainly get back to a final, you wouldnt think that would be an issue, but you can never be 100% sure with him.

              if this trade happens, i will be very interested in seeing what the magic do in the off-season. if this happens i believe they should go for more of a defensive stopper type of guy that gives you more toughness. one of this guys is a free agent, his name is Ron Artest. but to stay on topic i know the magic were going to look and trade alston cause he probably wants to start but he wouldnt start in new jersey either with devin harris starting there

                How do you propose ORL can afford Artest if they trade for Carter?

                  This instantly makes the Magic the favorite to come out of the East, imo. Carter is an underrated defender, he can still finish just fine, he's a great shooter and a great ball handler. If they manage to keep Turk, that is a tough, tough team to beat. Factor in a healthy Jameer and an improved Howard. Pshh. That's a damn tough team to beat. They'd be fielding five All Stars, basically.

                      Keeping Turk after acquring Carter is impossible.

                      You have to choose between one or the other

                      VC's contract could be one of the worst in the league

                      2 more years at 16 and 17 million

                        You guys should look at the salaries. This proposed idea is beyond impossible

                          No way a player like Ron Artest would ever suit up for The Magic. Their ownership is far too conservative...heck, even hearing about a guy like Vince has me surprised.

                          The Magic just do not take a ton of chances as an organization when it comes to moves like this.

                            Then the Magic are slightly worse unfortunately. Carter can't make plays for others and struggles to play in a structured offense. He can shoot and take ill advised shots but he avoids contact like the plague and he is a perpetual underachiever.

                              i didnt look up salaries because i just didnt feel like it but since trades in the nba financially matchup pretty evenly i just assumed they had basically the same amount of money as they did before
