Not sure the magic would want rubio though but they did bench payton recently. Maybe cam who i believe is from florida knows more about their situation?

Vucevic gives us rebounding, post game, playmaking from the 5 spot and mid range game. He is a big that i would want to trade for.

Dude...if the Magic were willing to trade him they could get a lot more for him than Rubio who might not be Better than their own young PG. Have you seen the number son his contract? 12.5 million each year and signed for 2 more years after this season. If they were willing to do that deal I would throw in Bazz and a 2nd round pick and laugh at them...of course it is the Magic so...maybe they would do it. I'd like to get him though he would be a nice get no doubt. I don't know about his defense though.

I know it wont be easy thats why im asking cam if he knows more about vucevic not starting anymore. Vuc wanted to start but is being used as a 6th man. Payton is also not starting for them anymore with dj augustine taking over the starting pg spot for them.

A 3rd team needs to be involved here and im willing to give up rubio+dieng for vucevic. If the magic is not sold on payton anymore then a 3rd team is needed here.

I'd rather go for Okafor than Monroe. Ricky and Bazz for Okafor and a wing.

Oh yeah, that's a no brainer

If we dealt Rubio to Philadelphia, I'd want Nerlens Noel for him -- not Jahlil Okafor.

I would trade Rubio for D'Angelo Russell

bleed, your the leading candidate for "comeback poster of the year" after the "bleed is a bust" thread last season.

It is hard being right all the time and not gloating about it. Some days I wish I would be wrong because it seems so much easier.

Thought it'd be interesting to see what Greg Monroe looked like compared to Gorgui Dieng, someone who gets plenty of love on this board, some of it deservedly so, some of it is irrational. Keep in mind that their roles are different, but it's still worth checking out.
