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."

Why don't we just throw in Dwight and a filler from the Nets?

Wow. That is one of the worst trade offers I have ever seen. Welcome to Crazy World.

Re: Magic looking for another big body
Redick averages less than 4 PPG and doesn't contribute in any other facet of the game. Why so many Magic fans think so highly of him is beyond me.

Re: Magic looking for another big body
when I saw this I was wondering if we could get Reddick for Magloire straight up.

Re: Magic looking for another big body
Dooling and Mo Evans for Mark Blount
Blount is a solid (albeit overpaid) big man, who could hit the open jumpshot, which will work very well next to Dwight.
If you want a better bigman (Haslem) I think something could be worked out as well
Haslem, Blount, Smush Parker for Redick, Dooling, Garrity, and Arroyo
Haslem would be a terrific role player for you guys, next to Dwight getting rebounds and hitting the midrange j

Re: Magic looking for another big body
What about Lorenzen Wright? He went traded to Sacramento but I can't see him in their plans. Orlando should try to bring him (sending Pat Garrity and cash for him, then Sacramento can waive Garrity and maybe call Justin Williams or Dahntay Jones back)

Re: Magic looking for another big body
I'm hoping we bring in Wilcox or possibly Collison.
