來自哨兵報的新聞，最近有Corey Maggette吵著要被交易的新聞而這位前魔術球員也放話希望能到 Orlando來，不過有趣的是，最後應該是會與國王隊的Ron Artest做交易，而在這之前，其實也傳出了魔術要用Turkoglu去換Artest的聲音(http://0rz.tw/372iW) (這與版友提到的Turkoglu換Maggette還真是巧) 而底下哨兵報的新聞則是魔術的GM回應，完全沒想過要做交易的念頭，包括之前被七六人交易到金塊的 Iverson，看起來今年魔術應該會以這個陣容打完整季了。另外Brian Hill有提到去年在 Francis的交易中，最主要是因為有 Ariza (難不成是為了Penny...)，他們對其他的球員是完全不感興趣。 (還好Ariza今年頗受重用，也打的不賴) http://0rz.tw/0e2gz No trades for 'suspect characters,' Magic say Brian Schmitz and Tim Povtak | Sentinel Staff Writers Posted December 28, 2006 Magic General Manager Otis Smith said he has essentially made it known throughout the league that he has no interest in acquiring troubled players or players with suspect character. "I think I've pretty much gotten that out there," Smith said. Smith was not interested in Allen Iverson, and he said the Sacramento Kings -- who are apparently looking to trade controversial F Ron Artest -- did not contact the Magic. Smith said he would not have had any interest in dealing F Hedo Turkoglu for Artest. Their salaries come close to matching. Turkoglu played his first three NBA seasons with Kings. The Kings, according to the Los Angeles Times, are trying to trade Artest to the L.A. Clippers for former Magic F Corey Maggette. Opponents going off Although the Los Angeles Lakers have had a better-than-expected start, they have been victimized more than normal this season by huge games from individual players. Dwyane Wade (40 points), Gilbert Arenas (60 points), Michael Redd (45 points), Tayshaun Prince (31 points), Ray Allen (32) all have beaten them this season with considerably better-than-average games. Even in games the Lakers won, Yao Ming (35 points), Joe Johnson (30 points), and Leandro Barbosa (30 points) have torched them. "Guys who aren't first-rate players have been getting 30 against us, and leading players are getting 40,'' said Lakers Coach Phil Jackson before Wednesday's game. "Blame it on the Grinches.'' Missing Odom The Lakers have been without Lamar Odom, their second-leading scorer and top rebounder since Dec. 12 (sprained right knee), and until he returns, they admittedly don't know what they have this season with so many young players. "He'll make a huge difference when he returns,'' said Kobe Bryant. "We'll have two guys who can create, two guys who know how to format the offense. That changes a lot.'' Phil's special chair No, Phil Jackson didn't grow a few more inches since the last time he was here. Jackson, the Lakers coach with six NBA titles to his credit, was sitting about eight inches higher than anyone else on the Lakers sideline, making him look like a king. It's a special orthopedic chair that he travels with, designed to ease stress on his body after his latest hip replacement surgery. Etc. Magic Coach Brian Hill said that the Magic would not have traded Steve Francis last season unless F Trevor Ariza was included in the deal. "That had to be part of the trade," Hill said. "We weren't making the deal unless he was in it. There was nobody else we wanted." . . . The NBA today will release the second return of results from fan balloting for the Feb. 18 NBA All-Star Game. In the first results, Magic C Dwight Howard was second among Eastern Conference centers behind Miami Heat C Shaquille O'Neal. Jameer Nelson and Turkoglu are also on the ballot, but the NBA releases just the top 10 at each position in each conference. . . . The Magic's next game is Friday against the Wizards in Washington. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.62.75.184
