...or are we simply giving up too early on the Magics? We're still 7 games above 500, but there has been a lot of speculation that we'll get worst and finish the season a few games above the 42 win mark.


If you would like to see changes, what would be it?

Magic should go back to traditional lineup, we need a true power forward/center alongside Dwight...We can't play successfully "small ball" with stupid PG like Jameer Nelson, we need at least Andre Miller for that...

TakaraJinRoh

Thats a good start. Id take another banger with Dwight. Dont know about Andre Miller however, he has never been considered as a catalyst in his career.

Perhaps we could go after Blount? He hasnt been playing much in Miami...

I don't know about major changes but there does need to be some tweaks.

The most worrisome part is I think the main issue lies with Jameer. He seems on most nights to really be an indicator of how well Orlando plays. When he is penetrating and attacking we generally win. When he stands outside and tries to be a jumpshooter we generally lose. Earlier this season he was attacking. There were games where he'd come down and get 2-3 layups in a row which turn into lobs to Dwight later in the game. Now teams are playing way off him making him shoot and he's got no confidence. And it seems his turnovers, and bad turnovers, are rising again.

Not sure what the deal is with him. Whether he is injured or just mentally not into it. When he is on he's a 15-5-5 player. When he's off he is almost non-existent on the court.

I was all for giving Jameer time to show what he's got but at this point I am getting worried about Orlando's future at PG.

Also - to add - I think Rashard's game is being screwed up playing at PF. It was fine earlier but I think it is wearing on him. We need to keep him and Turk on the court together so I'd like to see Shard moved to SG and start someone else at PF. Shoot, start Garrity or Augustine at PF. Augustine did a good job on KG in the Celts game and was really hustling. Give him a shot.

Wilcox is a dream come true, but given the circumstances, its going to stay the same...a dream.

Id take Thomas too, since Wilcox is unattainable. Thats an extra 7 and 8 not counting the very important "intangibles" that comes with Kurt.

Babir

Can we somehow get Shelden Williams from Atlanta? He is not getting any playing time with the Hawks now and would be perfect alongside Dwight! Maybe Garrity's expiring contract for him? figures are working if we make this trade...

deanwoof

i say this summer we go after rasheed wallace. we do need somebody crazy on our team. crazy good that is!

when detroit loses in the 2nd round this year, they'll be looking to explore their options. what do we have? a career-year turkoglu and a keith bogans-tayshaun prince reunion. ha
