A great pickup is Rashard Lewis, a player who is going to start and more then likely be an all-star this upcoming season.
I'm not saying foyle is a BAD pickup, his just not a GREAT pickup.

So Rashard, is a good pickup. But is very well overpayed. BUT he supplies us with efficiencies which are credit to the team. Similar situation with Foyle, he provides us with veteran leadership, and depth. AS WE NEED.
Yet he's underpriced, I don't see much logic as to what your saying.

Re: Foyle Agrees To Terms With Orlando
My point is, you probably don't know much about foyle, yet you call him a GREAT PICKUP(which he isnt).
Wait and see how he plays when the season gets underway...He won't be what your hyping him up to be..

No one expects him to be worth 20% of the money the Warriors gave him. We're just excited to get someone with decent NBA experience thats not 44 years old. Without Foyle, we were looking at Marcin Gortat and James Augustine as our only relief at the 4 and 5. They combine for a whopping 2 NBA games played. As unexciting as Foyle may be on the court, he's the best big man available that Orlando can afford. Thats why its a great pick up.

He isn't a game winner, but Orlando needed bigmen BADLY.

who's hyping him up?
you are saying that it was a great pick up... BUT
vet min + servicable back up big man + doesn't take up much of the cap space we dont even have + Defense + experience on a young team = GREAT PICKUP
nobody expects foyle to start... NOBODY. We are just happy that we have some depth now, we had NO ONE prior to this deal (which i'm going to assume you did not know)... and with the options that were available, this made the most sense... it doesn't hurt that you guys made him rich and now he's willing to play for basically nothing.

Skinner?

All of the things you mentioned does not make a player a great pickup. They are just the postives of Foyle. You need to think of the negatives aswell. And I asure you, there are WAY more negatives about him.

Ya we know that he isn't the best player in the world ,and that he is a stiff ,but for minimum pay he is a servicable player in garbage time

Re: Foyle Agrees To Terms With Orlando
Well IMO opinion you should of kept Darko.
I'm not saying you shouldn't of gotten foyle, he will help your team allot with all the positives you guys have said about him.
The only thing I don't agree with is you guys call him a GREAT pickup. But hey, everyone has different opinions, so its all good

I think we would all agree that we should've kept Darko. But it just wasn't going to happen, he didn't like it here. Although he expressed how much he wanted that extension and to stay in the Magic. Never the less, I don't know why you think Foyle ISNT a great pickup for the Magic.
Beyond me.
