With the recent Don Reid trade, I now believe the Magic are seriously intent on bringing in Keon Clark. They could probably pull it off without getting rid of Mike Miller if they can convince Pat Ewing of a nice buyout. Maybe if we offer him an coaching job, I've heard he's interested in coaching after he's done playing.
Here's how I see it the roster:
PG:
1.Jacque Vaughn(6'1" 190 lbs)-Pass first guy will run offense
2.Darrell Armstrong(6'1" 180 lbs)-"Flash" goes back to what he does best.
3.Smush Parker(6'4" 180 lbs)-If we can get him to sign, hide this guy on the IR, he'll be a keeper.
SG:
1.Tracy McGrady(6'8" 210 lbs)-Simply great
2.Mike Miller(6'8" 220 lbs)-Although he may be playing behing T-Mac, he'll get a lot of PT thanks to everyone's versatility.
3.Jeryl Sasser(6'6" 200 lbs)-Although he can't shoot, it might be best to move him here.
SF:
1.Grant Hill(6'8" 225 lbs)-Hopefully, he will finally be able to complete a season. If not, Tracy will be the starting 3, while Mike will start at 2.
2.Pat Garrity(6'9" 240 lbs)-One of the top shooters in the league.
3.Ryan Humphrey(6'8" 235 lbs)-The rookie will also get some time at PF.
PF:
1.Keon Clark(6'11" 221 lbs)- I know he's played some time at C, but at 221 lbs, I feel he'll fit better at PF.
2.Horace Grant(6'10" 245 lbs)-Putting him on the bench reduces his minutes, which saves him for the playoffs.
3.Andrew Declercq(6'10" 255 lbs)-As bad as most people make him out to be, when he gets PT, he usually delivers.
C:
1.Olumide Oyediji(6'10" 255 lbs)-I know he's very raw, but if you start Keon at one post spot, you need someone with bulk to start at the other to bang with the bigger players.
2.Steven Hunter(7'0" 230 lbs)-The Magic will be looking for improvement out of him. Considering he was just 19 last season, I'll give him some more chances.
3.Mario Kasun(7'1" 260 lbs)-From what I've heard, he's been productive in summer league. I'm a bit skeptical about what he'll do in the NBA though. Another possibility is Rashard Griffith.
Conclusion: I believe we have the best perimeter in the NBA. Not only at the starting positions, but also depth.
The Clark and Oyedeji tandem in the post reminds of the Ben and Bo show. Remember how effective those two were? The names don't have the same ring though.:laugh:
