I hope we will go to traditional lineup next season. I don't get this strategy to surround Dwight with 4 shooters, 3 is not enough??? Why not to get a PF with good midrange jumper? They want to duplicate Spurs style, but T. Duncan always had a reliable PF-C, not to mention a great guards combination.
I also think we should trade Lewis or Turk, it is almost impossible to trade Rashard due to his contract, but Turk has some value and good contract...By trading him we can get some valuable pieces.
Then we should try to get a veteran player using our MLE.

while turk's value is the highest that it will be, it was his ability to get to the hoop that made him so effective this year. but let's say we did trade him, who could we realistically trade him for (and most likely to the west)? not many options.

Trade #22 & Redick to move up

Ruff Draft

#22 and Redick to move up would be great. Grab someone like Darrell Arthur to play next to Howard.

Look for an answer at the 2, and send Hedo to the bench. Rashard needs to play the 3. Maybe look for a back-up play-making point guard.

What about either Budinger or CDR?

Get Elton Brand

The Magic can't trade their pick this year because they traded their pick last year. You can't trade picks in back to back years. Also IMO the Magic need to go ahead and move Hedo, plus either Bogans or Reddick for a top SG. A re-signed Maggette or Ellis would be perfect IMO. Then go out and use the MLE on a PF. Draft a SF and try to get a decent vet for the VE. Re-sign Evans and Dooling.

2008-2009 Magic roster:

PG Nelson, Dooling, Williams (VE)
SG Maggette, Evans
SF Lewis, Bogans, Rookie
PF MLE player, Cook, Fran
C Howard, Battie, Gortat

A better balanced starting lineup, plus more depth.

MagicFan3

Tell Redick to GTFO, re-sign Evans and Dooling, convince Foyle to opt out, draft CDR, sign a decent backup PF.

PG - Nelson / Dooling / [LLE - Armstrong?]
SG - Turkoglu / Evans / Bogans
SF - Lewis / Douglas-Roberts
PF - Battie / [MLE] / [Vazquez? doubt it.]
C - Howard / Gortat

I think you can trade first round picks in back to back years. You just can't do it in the same year.

For example, you can't package your 2008 and 2009 first round picks together. But if you trade your 2008 pick in 2008, and then in 2009 you trade that pick, then that is allowed.

Damian Necronamous

Several teams do come to mind...

Golden State: Stephen Jackson
Sacramento: Anyone but Kevin Martin (meaning Artest, Salmons, Garcia)
Dallas: Josh Howard or Jason Terry
Phoenix: Leandro Barbosa

I think it would be very worth Orlando's while to pursue Barbosa from the Suns. With Grant Hill aging, the Suns are in need of a young SF and Turkoglu would fit their team perfectly. Maybe a trade like Barbosa and Alando Tucker for Turkoglu and J.J. Redick would work.

Orlando could start Barbosa next to Nelson or subsequently deal Nelson elsewhere (maybe to Sacramento for one of those SGs), and the Suns would look to FA to fill their backup PG void (Arroyo, Lue, Duhon, Gibson are all available).

Current 2008-2009 LA Lakers Roster

SG: Kobe Bryant, Sasha Vujacic

PF: Pau Gasol, Vladimir Radmanovic
C: Andrew Bynum, Chris Mihm

Unsigned Free Agents: D.J. Mbenga, Ira Newble, Coby Karl, Joe Crawford

Monta Ellis is not good for us, because our backcourt would be too small.
Maggette is not bad, but he won't come cheap, plus he is missing too many games due to different injuries.
I hope we can get Jamison for MLE, it is more realistic than thinking about Brand or Maggette...
What about Artest? yes he is SF too, but he can guard 2 and 4 better than Rashard and Turk...

Babir

Forgot about Duhon, I would love to have him instead of Dooling and Arroyo...

Dissonance19

I don't think you can do that either. Teams that I've seen just work around that rule by picking for that team and then trading their rights to them.

BDB

Go after David Lee he's a free agent and the new coach doesn't like him.
He went to Florida and would be playing for a young playoff team making it easier to negotiate his signing.
