As if the trade talk wasn't enough to distract players, the Magic apparently have lost forwards Hedo Turkoglu and Grant Hill for an indefinite period.

Turkoglu sprained his left ankle and will not play tonight against the Nets. Hill said he doesn't expect to play, either, after re-aggravating his lower abdominal area.

Forward Dwight Howard, who led the Magic with 23 points and 14 rebounds against the Cavs, had a finger on his left hand X-rayed after the game, too. The results were not known, but Howard did not appear disappointed.

What else is new with GHill <_<

So I guess it would be Stevenson who will probably start at the SF position, who by the way is also playing hurt (knee).

We better get an SF for Francis. That's the position we are in dire need of.

I swear it seems as if Grant Hill just injures himself before games so he doesn't have to play but still gets paid.

Darko came into the draft as a SF/PF, He can play 3 positions b/c of his range. Maybe he should start at the 3 and boost his confidence.

This should be the lineup tonight IMO

PG - Carlos Arroyo
SG - Steve Francis
SF - Pat Garrity
PF - Darko Milicic
C - Dwight Howard

I don't really think the Magic should have a goal to win this game, just a goal to get production and experience from Arroyo and Milicic. Also, might as well start Steve-O on his (hopefully) last game in Magic blue.

Yikes, two of those players (Garrity and Francis) are the ones rumored to be gone. When they leave, I guess Diener will be playing more!

Maybe not. Steven A Smith apparently said that Francis isn't going to the game tonight because he is sure he's getting traded. Sucks. I wanted to see him sulk.

Unless Ariza shows up quick enough to Jersey (for tonight only):
Batman
D-Flight
Garrity (by default, Darko would be awesome to have here).

Definitely. Arroyo is a sick passer but often travels and double dribbles too much. He did very good though. Penny Hardaway might start now.
