The Magics roster, Hallejuhah

Finally for all these days the Magics are finally using their noggins in the offseason. They got Tyronn Lue, a man that can almost guard AI , Juwan Howard, and a good rookie Reese Gaines.
BUT BUT BUT, they still need a 7 footer with actual skills.

You think Lue can guard Iverson? I'm a huge Lue fan who wanted Washington to resign him, but he's no Iverson defender. Don't be swayed by one decent game in the finals a couple of years ago. Despite that, I really like what the Magic have done this offseason and I predict they'll nab 4th seed in the east.

Its funny because you say Lue can guard Iverson, but in that picture Iverson is going right by Lue.

You forgot to mention Keith Bogans. Second in most points scored in the summer league (but second isn't bad when the first place guy is Tayshaun Prince, another Kentucky boy). Bogans is just as, if not more ready to play than Reece Gaines.

I don't think he counted Juwan Howard as a 7 footer... the guy is 6'9.. gooden's taller than that

he basically meant we needed a true center...

The Magic have definitely upgraded this off-season !

I'm not sure about Lue being the final answer at PG, and Reece Gaines haven't impressed me that much.
But I love the addition of both Keith Bogans and Zaur Pachulia. Pachulia is 6'11 (close to 7'0 ) and could be a sleeper. I think he will be a LOT better than Pat Burke was .

Juwan is a definite upgrade in the low post.

So with the exception of a real starting PG(Lue is more of a backup), I think the Magic roster is looking pretty good. They could definitely use more depth at the frontcourt(DeClerq as backup, Ugh -_-), but the backcourt looks great(Bogans, Gaines).

Well, there was a rumor of signing Donnel Harvey, but i'm not sure what happened to that. He would be a nice addition.

Harvey's okay. He's decent, I guess. I'll admit I haven't watch him play that much(who watches the nuggets???) but i don't think he's gonna make much difference to this team. He's barely taller than the SG's in this league.

Question, is Damon Jones still available? I think that guy would make a good third guard at the minimum. The guy can shoot the lights out. Pretty good play maker too. I was a fan of his a few years back in the Vancouver Grizzlies days when he backed up Bibby. Back then he was arguably better than Bibby cuz he brings so much energy off the bench. Exciting player to watch, IMO.
