Yes, this retarded Otis Smith gave away almost 160 millions to Lewis and Nelson! Just think about that...Our GM spoiled all our chances to become a great team...Lewis and Jameer are both GARBAGE! We could have spent this money on decent players to surround Dwight! Now we need to pray for Isaih Tomas to keep his job and take away Lewis' contract...unfortunatelly no one else, even Tomas, would not take Jameer's stupid contract...

I haven't been following Orlando much this season but I always thought Rashard Lewis was a good player, what has he be doing this year?

yea I totally agree. We really need another offensive presence, and Rashard obviously isnt it

Lewis was stellar until lately when Orlando went into a losing streak. Rashard's game is being exposed as nothing but a one dimensional tweener who scores outside. Man, he's a good player but for that amount. We got robbed.

Babir

Of course he is not a bad player, but how can you give him Kobe's, Dirk's, Garnett's money??? How??? And no one in the league could have signed him for that ammount, only we had this cap space! We could get him for 70 or 80 millions and even that is too much for him! What he can do? Just stand on the perimeter and fire 3 pointers??? he can't play defense, create his own shot, nothing!

And what about Jameer??? He could be a restricted free agent this summer, what was a reason to give him 40 millions??? Who else would have signed him for that ammount of money?????

Otis Smith is an IDIOT!!!

Babir

I hope tomorrow our "stars" Jameer and Lewis will play their best basketball and Isaih Thomas will get their contracts then!

deanwoof

the world is over.

dude just chill out. we just hit a snag cuz people figured out how to play us. NOBODY was expecting us to be THIS good and it even caught the team by suprise. most "experts" were picking us to be 6th or 7th TOPS in the East.

So, do you think that it was a good idea to give Jameer 40 millions the year when he was supposed to be a restricted free agent? Do you think that any team in the NBA would give him that sort of money?
Do you still think that Rashard worth 120 millions?
Otis Smith is an idiot and nothing will change my mind. With a decent and patient GM we could have a championship team in Orlando for years...

dude got PAID

Garbage Jameer's highlight of the game...Last possesion by the Magic, Garbage is using the clock, then goes to the rim, assists to Knicks and Robinson beats the buzzer on the other end!

deanwoof

but how do you KNOW that? it's all been media speculation.

How do you know that Rashard Lewis' camp didn't FORCE Orlando to sign him to the MAX? Sure, he's overpaid, but I'd rather overpay for Lewis than start Pat Garrity/James Augustine. Nobody else would have seriously signed with us this summer.

And now look at Chicago. They didn't re-up their players - Deng and Gordon - and both of them are struggling and the team's chemistry is all jacked up. And it was the right thing to do, signing Jameer this summer. Let's say we don't resign him. Arroyo and Dooling are both free agents this summer. And then he walks (yes he's an unrestricted FA, I know but since this is all hypothetical anyways). We're left with Dwight, Turk and Lewis. You expect us to rebuild through the draft? Puhlease, we can't draft talent unless we're handed the #1 pick and we flat out lucked out on Jameer.

Bottom line? Take a chill pill.

I am talking about patience, so what if Jameer would not get this extension...He would play worth? I don't think it is possible to play worth than he is playing now! every point guard is having a great game against us because midget can not play any defense, on the offense he can't lead this team, his decisions are just terrible...Ok, if we wanted to keep him that bad then we could at least wait to see what offers he could get this summer, I am sure no one in the league would pay him 40 millions...These cheap european point guards like Calderon or Udrih are 10 times better than Nelson...

About Lewis...Yes, he is not that bad player, but he is not Wade, Lebron or Kobe...

Probably chill pills are really helping you if you are ok with Jameer's and Lewis' contracts

deanwoof

calderon is good only because of the system they run in toronto.

beno udrih is terrible. he's putting up good numbers on a terrible team right now. no martin, no bibby, shareef sucks, kenny thomas can't score, brad miller is soft and with artest you never know what you're going to get everyday. he couldn't get any burn in san antonio with JACQUE VAUGHN ahead of him.

it's also called contract-year. jameer would have probably played selfishly this year and put up some good numbers at the expense of the team. it would have enticed other teams to offer him some decent money.

even if we didn't resign nelson, we would still have about $50 million in committed salary for next year. it's not like we're saving money to get under the cap to grab another free agent.

would you have rather pay $10M for chauncey billups?
or would you have rather pay Jason Kapono $5-$6M a year?
