What about Sasser? Are you Magic fans giving up on him already?

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.

If that Happened the Magic would be even better.
C-Nesterovic/Hunter
PF-Gooden/DeClerq
SF-Odom/Giricek
SG-McGrady/Bogans
PG-Gaines/D. Armstrong
That team might WIN the East.

Not to mention if we set up some kind of deal for Jermain Oneal, the east is over;P
We got the GForce Onez in da Td Water house:P
Grady -SG, Gooden -SF, Germain (Oneal) center, -Giricek/Garrity (they alright), Gaines - PG
Or go for payton?

Give up on Sasser? OF COURSE WE ARE! Have you seen him play?!
And why is everyone asking why we didn't draft a big man? WE DID. He should have been a first rounder too. There were no good big men at the 15th pick.

I like this - I really like this! SF would then be totally taken care of, as they could then go tall or standard(Garrity) or play small ball with either Gordon or Bogans.
The more I look at your post, the better I like that team line up. Hmmmmm. Speculation can be fun!

I thought I did!
Yeah, your line up is shoot, run, rebound, and defend. It would be one heck of a fun team to watch!

I would like to say to the people that think armstrong will finally come of the bench this season that he came off the bench last season because vaughn started. And he might not even come back to orlando.

with that line-up you put, they would win the east pretty handily assuming their chemistry together is up to par. With the best player in the east leading a HUGE starting 5. If bogans turns out to be a solid point, and nesterovich plays like he did in minnesota, and gooden keeps developing that potential we saw in the 1st round of the playoffs. I dont really know who that SF is, but that should be interesting nonetheless.
Magic have quickly become one of my favorite teams to watch.

Hah, you kidding right? Sasser has to be one of the worst players in the entire league. How this guy holds the scoring record (i believe) for some college is beyond me ... He can't dribble, can't shoot, isnt a superb athlete .. he really has no redeeming qualities except being a good rebounder for a guard.
Giving up? Hell yeah. However much he is making, he is robbing Orlando.

I agree. This is not really newsworthy material. Orlando probably got one of the best players of the draft and a guy who absolutely appears to fit perfectly with the team he went to. Bogans is a good player and will be decent off the bench and improve overall depth. Pachulia, who knows.
I don't think Orlando was banking on the draft to improve. But with Gaines they will. They didn't take a big because there was no one that they could have taken they would have been even remotely ready to contribute for at least a couple years. I think they are banking on free agency to improve in that area.
Orlando had one of the probably top 5 drafts overall, imo. Now Orlando needs to make a big move in free agency in any way they can .. Oneal, Miller, Olowokandi, Nesterovic, PJ Brown, Brand, Odom, Antonio Daniels, Jon Barry ... all these guys should be targets.
