Good riddance to Sasser.
Even if the Magic don't get a guy like Lamar Odom, what about trading the mid-level exception for Vlad Radmanovic. This guy is just aching to bust out and a 6'10 SF that can shoot and put the ball on the floor next to T-Mac would be kind of devastating.
I think they should go after Nesterovic w/ the Medical Exception. He would be a 16 and 10 player in the East.
Reece Gaines is a good pick because he likes to push the ball and Darrell Armstrong can finally come off the bench, which is what he wants to do and finally give them some bench scoring.
C-Nesterovic 7'2
PF-Gooden 6'10
SF-Radmanovic 6'10
SG-Tracy McGrady 6'8
PG-Reece Gaines 6'6
Bench
Armstrong, Giricek, Bogans (Sasser is meat), Hunter, DeClerq, Garrity
And then you have to factor in big man Mario Kasun (whose rights they still own and they can bring him over), and Zaur Pachulia (who will probably stay overseas for another year.
The Magic finally have options and can move on from Grant Hill. This team looks quick, deep and it can shoot. It will also have shooting off the bench w/ Armstrong, Giricek and Garrity.
If the Magic can bring in Vlad and Rasho I think they win the East next year.
