Orlando Magic
Do not resign: Anthony Johnson, Jason Williams, Adonal Foyle
Resign: Matt Barnes
Trading pieces: Jameer Nelson, Vince Carter, Brandon Bass, Marcin Gortat, Mickael Pietrus, JJ Reddick (Qualifying offer), Ryan Anderson (Team option)
Keeping: Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis (No one wants his contract)
We drafted: Orton (Center from Kentucky) to replace Gortat. Robinson (Forward from Uconn) to replace Barnes, although i'd rather keep him and trade Pietrus.
In the paper this morning there was conversation about getting Chris Paul & James Posey for Jameer Nelson & Vince Carter. They also talked about Gilbert Arenas for Vince Carter straight up. I like eiether of those trades. They also mentioned Luol Deng for Gortat & Pietrus which I DO NOT WANT.
I like Jameer Nelson, but obviously I would take Chris Paul over him, Arenas scares me a little bit. Everyone else is expendable in my eyes.
We need a backup point guard for Jameer, unless we can trade him for a superstar point guard. I would like to get rid of Carter, seeing as he is making 17.3 million this year, and his age is starting to catch up with him. I would like to play Rashard at small forward and sign a power forward to bang with Dwight. Gortat is expendable to improve other areas as we drafted a back-up center.
