Just trying to see what yall think of their offseason? I think it was a great one with all the acquisitions. Also, whats your prediction on the starting lineup?

I say

Francis

Mobley

Howard

Turkoglu

Cato

Possibly Battie for Cato, see how preseason goes

Francis - A good player, but not a good PG.

Mobley - Decent scorer, not much else.

Howard - Who knows.

Turkoglu - Streaky shooter, not much else.

Cato - Average.

Looks like a below .500 team. Any off-season where you get rid of Tracy McGrady and draft a high schooler is not good.

mcgrady never won an mvp. they traded away a player who didn't want to be on the team and he would've walked at the end of the season so it really wasn't that bad of a move. when you trade a superstar you usually never get equal value. they should've atleast drafted okafor and didn't. it looks like another lottery bound season for the magic.

It was a bad move. TMac didn't want to stay because the team was going nowhere. If they would have had a good draft, hired a good coach TMac likes, made a trade or 2, got a veteran through free agency, and actually put together a formidable squad, perhaps TMac would have liked to stay because the team would be a contender then. Instead, the Magic once again proved their futility by trading away TMac for a player with the same attitude and personality, only less skill.

they should stop making stupid trades like when they traded ben wallace & chucky atkins for grant hill. instead of going after superstars like mcgrady and hill, they should go after team players and get a coach who knows how to play the right way

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif It wasn't a bad trade at the time, and far from stupid. Ben Wallace had yet to really solidfy himself then, Chucky Atkins was just a normal PG, and if healthy, Grant Hill would be a top 5 player in the leauge. Don't even compare Grant Hill to TMac, because Grant Hill was a walking triple double and a great team player. If he didn't get injured again, everyone would be laughing at the Pistons for giving him up.
