NOTE FROM THE FORUM OWNER:

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. You can also visit the original MagicMadness Forum at http://orlandomagic.proboards.com.

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

Drafting Marbury + Foyle = Championship. \o/
untill Turk and Nelson get back:

Arroyo
Dooling
DeShawn
Howard
Batman

Darko, Garrity, Diener, Kasun, Ariza in the rotation (by that order) (as we have some new players, having a 9 man rotation with the current roster would be silly)

Then, when they get back:
Nelson
DeShawn
Turk
Howard
Battie

With Arroyo, Dooling, Darko, and Garrity as the regular 4 guys coming from the bench (assuming Hill keeps his 9 man rotation after the returns of Nelson and Turk) and having Ariza and Kasun ready for foul trouble from the starters.

It's the most realistic possibility IMO... I'd really go for it.

Well, in a way I'd like Nelson and Arroyo in the same lineup.

Nelson-Arroyo-Ariza-Dwight-Darko

I also thought about having Arroyo and Nelson on the same lineup, but Arroyo is 6-2 and Nelson is 6-0... I don't think we could live regularly with such a short lineup.
But sure there will be some games against other short backcourts that will allow us to play both. ;)

Starter
Darko-C
Howard-PF
SF-Hardaway
SG-Nelson
PG-Carlos
Bench
Garrity
Turk
Dooling
Stevenson
Kasun
Ariza
The 12th man would come from another trade
Battie,Hill,Travis D.,Augmon and Frank Vasquez will be traded by 3pm tommorow maybe to Denver for Nene,Watson,Lenard and Draft Picks/Cash or maybe to Portland for Miles and Ratliff and Draft Picks/Cash or maybe to Memphis for Wright,other players and Draft Picks/Cash or other teams you can think!
The reason why Vasquez will be trade is because Howard and Darko are the Starters and he would be sitting on the bench next year! Travis D. can fetch more Draft Picks and future Players! Augmon can wavier like Outlaw was or be traded for Cash! Battie can fetch expiring contracts,Draft Picks and Cash! Hill can go to a contend that looking for a Starter that willing to come off the bench and can fetch anything!

Hate it but not much else to work with.

Right now I cant come up with a starting linup that wont make me puke all over my keyboard but...

When healthy we should have
PG: Jameer
SG: Deshawn
SF: HILL
PF: Howard
C: Battie


Our bench would be:
PG:Arroyo
G: Dooling
G/F: Turk
SF: Ariza
F/C: Darko

How come NOBODY has G. Hill on any of their so called "if healthy" lineups?? Is it just assuming that G. Hill will NEVER be healthy???
