The Rumors of Orlando Magic VS Portland Trail Blazers, What's Wrong?

The Orlando Magic and Portland Trail Blazers may be discussing a trade which would send Jameer Nelson to Portland, with the 21st pick in the 2011 NBA Draft and Andre Miller coming to Orlando in return, according to Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress. The rumored swap of veteran point guards would appear to make sense for both sides for a few reasons, which I'll discuss in more depth if the trade happens.

Today’s hot rumor was a deal with Portland that would swap point guards Jameer Nelson and Andre Miller, in addition to Orlando receiving the 21st pick in tonight’s draft. The deal, in theory, would make sense for both teams. Portland acquires a point guard who can shoot from the outside, the type of player they’ve desired since signing Miller two summers ago. And the Magic get a guy whose 2011-12 contract is not guaranteed, meaning they could package him to a team trying to shed salary (such as Atlanta, who’s dangling Josh Smith).
 
Miller’s contract does expire at the end of next season but there is a team option on him for this offseason. That means Orlando would be acquiring a more tradable contract that would have value for teams looking to shed salary.

Dwyane Wade came on the Orlando Magic?

Dwyane Wade in Orlando? Quick said the former Magic coach Doc Rivers.

Rios was on a radio station in New York and tells the story of how the Magic drafted Wade and heat near the No. 5 on the night of the draft public company in 2003.

Here's the story from the words of the rivers

"Dwyane was to work with us when I was coach of magic and really should not. I think we were the election or selection of the 15 14 I had no reason to come. It's just due to the combination of Marquette has arrived.

"We had a workout. We had Keith Bogans and some other guys. dominates the extensive training I've seen a player dominate education at a point where they fought to try to advertise the project be put in place. We believe that few people know.

"We had an agreement with the Miami Heat when the child reaches the top of our era.

"Well, when the team arrived in Miami ... and Dwyane Wade, who thought she knew, she loved to Miami, then called us just before pick me up and said,"Sorry. We have our people. "

Dwyane Wade and elected. "

Of course, during the rookie Wade, beat the Magic. Doc Rivers was fired, the only team that won 21 games and Tracy McGrady has openly called for his departure. Turbulent season with the Magic won the No. 1 pick Dwight Howard, however, and decided - not a bad consolation prize.

If the Magic had acquired Wade is unlikely with the No. 1 selection. A team with T-Mac and Wade is likely to reach the playoffs, and if not making the playoffs ... Well, the butterfly effect and all that.

But it is always interesting, the magic that was the target of Wade. complete picture of the NBA would be different.
