| Quote: | The Magic will look into trading the rights to 2005 lottery pick Fran Vazquez, perhaps as soon as the Feb. 22 trade deadline, said General Manager Otis Smith.
Smith reached the conclusion after the 6-foot-11 Spanish forward told him last week that he wasn't ready to join the Magic anytime soon. He has a four-year contract with FC Barcelona.
"If something makes sense, we'll do it," Smith said of possibly trading Vazquez's rights. "I think he has value . . . The thing is, he's hard to trade because he's still over there." |
Orlando Sentinel Article
Obviously at the moment the Lakers have a full roster and a decent core of big men. However, the next couple of years will see the contracts of Mihm and Kwame come up for renewal. With the possibility of acquiring a talent, for probably very cheap, and one that doesn't need to be brought in right away, seems like it be worth looking into.
Thoughts? |

He's worth a second rounder, as long as it isn't our second round pick from Charlotte.
The Magic are in the best position to know whether he wants to come over, as the just interviewed him again. And now they want to deal him... what does that tell you?
Though I want to wait for Vlad to heal before passing judgement, I'd offer Radman and the second rounder for Darko and the busted pick. They'll need some scoring with Hill likely leaving at the end of the season, and Vlad's defense wouldn't be as big an issue in the EC. |

What about Vlad to Orlando for Carlos Arroyo and Bo Outlaw?
Magic are looking for another scorer in the front court, and we need a sterdy point. Carlos would be awesome.
