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.

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

Yup. Our defense has been compromised with the recent moves. I know that SVG will most likely be using a team defense (he will probably use a lot of zones next season). But we still need studs that on the D.

PJ Brown is still available right?

He hasn't decided whether or not he'll play next season.

We'll be fine defensively Turk's 14 ppg compliments Lewis, plus the size at both spots together will cause match up problems. and Lets not exaggerate Turks defense wasnt as bad as everyone thinks. People just want Redick to start so bad and be good so it doesnt look like we wasted a pick on him. I think Redick will be a good player for us, But IMO he wont put up the rebounding or assist numbers that Turk does. Plus he doesn't cause real problems for other teams other than his range, which at best, was mediocore last year. He's going to have to prove himself against real talent in real NBA games.

Matchup problems for the opposing defense, certainly. I think most of us can appreciate that fact. The matchup problems won't be for the opposing offense, however. All the opposition needs is a good interior player with a consistent game from 5-10 feet from the rim, and players like Hedo and Shard will get pretty much pounded on.

:D All we need to do is outscore the opposition and not worry about defense.
