Grizzlies signed another Center, so they already have Milicic, Gasol, Haddadi, Warrick, and Arthur at PF and C position. Do you guys think Magic have a chance to get one of their bigs and Crittenton in a trade???
They seem like the obvious trade partner being stacked at the 1-4-5 but who knows if Otis will make a move. I'm sure Milicic is the guy they want to unload and he is the one I like least of the group. Arthur or Warrick and Crit sounds good to me tho.
If people linked to this guy end up blowing up the Fed Ex Forumn, I'm going to claim conspiracy theory by Stern & Hiesley to move the team!

Haddadi will become the first Iranian to play in the NBA after spending the 2007-08 season playing for Saba Battery in the Iranian Super League. He was cleared to play for the NBA after U.S. government officials granted the league an Office of Foreign Assets Control license to employ Haddadi.

I ll take Darko back. We dont need alot of minutes from him. Just get him back here with Battie, Gortat, Cook. We should be ok at the 4 and 5 positions.
Stan Van Gundy should tell Dwight,"I'll be more positive in exchange that you stop getting dumb fouls and make some **** free throws".
IMO, Memphis now looks more likely to be a trade partner with the Magic (unless they are planning to head into the season with 15 PGs and 12 big men).
Otis can now fill two much needed spots with a young PG, and a young PF. Memphis' asking price may be steep, but personally I don't care. We could easily accomodate a deal for Crit and Warrick (two players that figure to receive decreased minutes with Memphis after their acquisitions this Summer), and a deal like that would be huge for the Magic immediately and in planning for the future.
The problem though is the Griz are now loaded at every position and don't seem to have too many roster needs. A backup to Mayo? Buckner or Jaric could easily fill that role. A backup to Gay? Bogans maybe. The one thing that team could use is a little more experience, and outside shooting.
Although it sounds ridiculous, maybe Cook and Bogans for Crit and Warrick.
How do you put together a trade where all they have to offer is young guys with big potential, and all we have to offer are vets with experienc that will become nothing better than what they already are...bench players.?
KITNO. Care to weigh in?

Griz have 5 young front court players. Darko, Hak, & 3 rookies. I don't view that as excessive depth & I doubt the Griz do either.
I can't see them trading anybody in the front court unless it's a trade they view as an upgrade in the front court. Otherwise they will proceed with this shotgun approach of giving 5 young players an opportunity & see who sticks.
I certainly don't view their front court situation as similiar that at PG & I'd be very shocked if the just pawned one off prior to this season.
