We had a long, enjoyable run, and I would like to thank every Orlando Magic fan who contributed to our small community on the web. This message board will be left online as an archive into the thoughts and minds of a group of Magic fanatics who lived through a 21-win season, the drafting of Dwight Howard, and an eventual NBA Finals appearance.

Special thanks to our Staff Members: Black and Blue, MAGICMANEVAN, and NYCMagicFan!

What facts?

The one where you said steve can shoot and play defense, or the fact that you looked at last years stats to make an argument to keep him?

This peon thinks he can keep up with me :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mario Kasun is close to useless since he never gets in, and I wouldn't mind seeing Battie go who robs the Magic of solid game tieing/winning points with his mess ups.

We would need some serious big men. There are plenty out there and I'm sure we would be able to get atleast one. Now if we do what I said and get rid of DeShawn we would need a good SG because Stevie can't go it alone. We would have to find someone and if the Magic are looking for young talent go for Martell Webster. His jumper is sick if you've seen him, and he is a rookie this year. They would give him time to develop and have a good outside shooter.

Any comments?

Why would any one want to just let Tony Battie walk away?!?!?!?
He;s the one guy who is showing all the heart in the world out there on the court. So he's not a dominating scorer, what back-up center is? That's not Battie's role.
Battie is a legit back up Center which is such a large rarity in this league. Who would you get to take his place?

Steven Hunter. The guy has got no offense to speak of and is considered a shot block specialist... we have two shot blockers in Milicic and Howard. Don't take this that I don't think he's a good back up, but why would you stir the pot when you have something that already works?

I didn't say just waive Battie. I meant trade him for Steven Hunter, and I mean't to put either to get Samuel Dalembert. Don't tell me Dalembert is not an offensive guy at all since I've seen him put up some really decent to good stats. Better than Battie. It would be nice to have Dalembert or some good Center in general since Battie is a garbage starter and a decent backup


Jonboy418 says:
Battie for any other center doesn't make much sense to me. There is so much parity in the Center position (Shaq used to be dominate, but is returning to Earth) that Battie could start on almost half the NBA teams.

If you trade for Steven Hunter with Tony Battie, it's another wash. How are the Magic getting that much better?
I'll go as far and say Dalembert has no place on this team as we see it now. If Darko Milicic pans out, you've got a great shot blocker and a great creative scorer from the post and close to the perimeter. If Dalembert is brought in, you are hindering Darko's progress and development. Furthermore, you have to look at Dalembert's value. Sure Dalembert is a better player than Battie, but you have to look at all things:

Dalembert is set to get 60.5 million dollars over the next six years. He would have to bethe future if you take that investment and personally I think it's ridiculously high given the parity at the position. Is he worth an average of $10mil / year or 1/5 of your salary cap?
