Is Orlando A Lock For Worst Record?

[George O'Brien]

As terrible as the Suns record has been this season, it cannot come close to the death march in Orlando with only 13 wins. They are talking to everyone about trades, but mostly it would be to unload contracts like that of Juwan Howard who is second on the team in scoring.

How bad is this team? On offense they are not bad, 94.9 ppg on 43.3% shooting. HOWEVER, their opponents are scoring 100.8 ppg on 46.6% shooting. Plus they are getting outrebounded 44.1 to 40.2.

It gets worse. Their center Andrew DeClercq has been injured. Their other center is Steven Hunter and he is scoring only 3 ppg and grabbing 2.4 rpg in 12.2 minutes. Zaza Pachulia scores 3.6 ppg and grabs 3 rpg in 11.4 minutes. Their other guys are even worse!

Maybe the Suns could trade White for a bunch of expiring contracts. Orlando might actually win some games and open up a chance for the Suns.

I was very upset when Pat was traded from the Suns: an Irish guy from Notre Dame.

I was the same way. Well, my whole family was. He tried hard, and was a great player, and will be too. I'm still a Garrity Fan too.

It looks like Atlanta is trying to challenge the Magic for worst record overall. Orlando has a considerable head start, though...


My guess is that Atlanta is after Josh Howard, while Orlando is probably looking at Emeka Okafor.
