Magic looking for another big body
Quote:
General manager Otis Smith has said the Magic were willing to give up the interior defense and rebounding a natural power forward would provide because of the shooting Lewis and Turkoglu have given around center Dwight Howard.
But because the playoffs offer a slower, more physical style of basketball, Smith admitted Friday for the first time that he's looking to add another power forward before the Feb. 21 trade deadline.
"It would be really nice to have another big body, but quite frankly we've played really well with what we've had," Smith said. "You'd be crazy to not want to help your team get better. But you have to do something that's going to make sense and not just because you feel like you have to make a move."
