Turk ops out How could he not, though? His value is at an all time high.

Wow.

As if this day couldn't get much worse.

I honestly feel Magic is better off without Hedo and spending the money on a PF position. They need a big body next to Howard. Lewis is more of a SF and is playin' out of position. Hedo plays little to no defense, and Lewis won't get over-matched on the defensive end like he did against the Lakers.

Courtney Lee should come in the starting lineup for Hedo at SG. So you got Nelson at PG, Lee at SG, Lewis at SF, add a PF, and Howard at Center.

The problem is that Rashard can't create for anybody else, while Hedo can. He's a 6-10 spot up shooter and that's it.

If they used that money more wisely, the Magic could have had a dynasty.

But a healthy Nelson could take the reigns of running the offense if Hedo left and they'd be okay, IMO.

That being said, I think they should just keep that team together and maybe try to add someone with the MLE. Orlando's VERY close, and this year's experience should help them. Making major changes would be foolish, IMO.

I think they should keep Hedo and sign Rasheed Wallace with the MLE.

I think they'd be the favorites if that happened.

If Howard can learn to do what he did in Game 6 against the Cavs consistently, he will dominate.

Hmm....I thought I saw him show some creative post moves and hook shots in Game 6, but maybe I imagined it

Catching the ball 3 feet from the basket, turning around, and laying it in is neither creative, nor a post move.

In my defense, Big Z and the Chosen 2 were tripping all over themselves, which made Dwight look much better on the block than he might have actually been.

Anyways, my biggest concern with Howard is that he still gets stripped way too easily by the help defense.

It's cause he brings the ball down too low. Needs to keep it higher.
