I like Magloire, he's the type of big man we need. He doesn't block that many shots though, I don't know why since he has the longest arms I've ever seen.

I'm not sure if it's really the right move. I'd rather have Boozer. Mihm will be fine at center.

**HKF** · 06-16-2005, 02:16 PM

Mihm is a backup, not a starter. I'd kill for that Laker lineup. To be able to bring Grant and Mihm off the bench, behind May and Magloire, shoot I'd love it. Sean May was built for the triangle, because he's an excellent passing big man, with great hands and an excellent rebounder.

Please be Magloire! PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE AND FOR IT TO BE MAGLOIRE!!!!

sean may is good for college,bad for the pros...yeah he dominated 6'5" roger powell...

may is 6'7" with an 8'9" standing reach...thats t-rex territory...

he benched 185 12x at 260 pounds,and has a 33" vertical..both average...

hes a poor mans mike sweetney,and sweetney is a poor mans brand

Sean May is better than Michael Sweetney. He can shoot out to 20 feet, put the ball on the floor, excellent hands, finisher and passer. Sweetney was also taken 8th, why can't May be taken 10th? May is not giving up anything to Sweetney.

I'd take Diogu before May. Games are simular, but Ike is longer, more athletic, and a much better shot blocker.

That rules out Jerm and Rashard. Neither were likely anyway.

I too hope it's Magliore but not at the price of our #10 pick.

NOODLESTYLE · 06-16-2005, 04:07 PM

Magloire or Steve Francis...i think its Francis...cuz KG and Magloire are 2 big men that can only help the Lakers.

Lynx · 06-16-2005, 04:59 PM

HKF, you really think Hornets will give up Magloire for Divac, Butler and Slava? After trading Baron to Warriors, Magloire is the franchise. It just looks good on paper. I don't think Byron Scott would go for it.

p.s. Steve Francis? That dribble dyeria(sp?) fella? Tell me you guys are joking.

Magloire has expressed his displeasure with wanting out and the Hornets traded Baron Davis basically for contracts, which expired. Divac and Slava are on their last year's of their deal next year and Butler is up for an extension. For New Orleans that clears salary, because Magloire has two years left (BYC). He is attainable because some around the organization believed that like Baron, Magloire was milking his injuries in hopes of getting dealt. At least in this case, the Hornets get out from under his contract and fill a major need with a SF in Butler and can use their FA money to either go after a C (which they can) or improve their bench. New Orleans is rebuilding and more than likely most of the people that were with that organization (outside of PJ Brown) will be gone. Davis, Wesley and Mash are gone. I think Magloire is next.

Trading for Steve Francis doesn't make much sense to me, because what would the Lakers trade for him and receive in return. Francis is not coming here.

Man, this is where my head spins

expiring contracts, salary cap etc etc.

p.s. I like PJ Brown on the Hornets roster. Not an All-Star but soon to be one.

Well, trading Magloire for Butler and two expiring contracts makes sense for two reasons.

One, New Orleans would be in the Greg Oden sweepstakes (who is the next great prize to hit the league come '06).

Two, the only major contract they would have on the books, when Vlade, Slava and George Lynch expire would be PJ Brown (who is expiring after the 06-07 season). Deron Williams, Maciej Lampe, David West, JR Smith would all be on their rookie deals and Caron Butler would be up for an extension as a RFA. Now Butler could test the market, but with the way his career has turned out, he's probably going to get a 4 year/30 million dollar a deal at the max (provided in the new CBA, contract lengths are reduced). He hasn't proven to be a consistent star player at all, but he still has shown flashes of greatness. For New Orleans their not trying to build a playoff contender. They're trying to build an NBA title contender and if they come out with Greg Oden in '06, they will be better off then they were with Baron, Mash, PJ and Magloire.

At least Bristow and Scott recognized this, before it was too late.
