Everyone seems to forget Pietrus. That guy can light it up at times. He’s aggressive and a top 6th man off the bench.
I predict Nelson will have a big year. And it’s the first time anyone has written about the fact the Magic consistently have 6 to 7 guys in double figures, albeit in the preseason. But don’t let talk fool ya, no coach worth his salt wants to come out of the preseason with a mediocre record (read Cavs).

I don’t think VC is as good of a creator and passer as turkoglu. I think when the real games start this team is going to have a few problems actually lining it up and getting it together. A lot hinges on whether or not Howard improved his game.

LAKESHOW – “In essence Vince is being asked to replace Hedo AND Lee..”

That’s an EXCELLENT deduction!

And while Vince may not have the trifecta stroke that Hedo has, or the defensive prowess of that impressive rook…he’s got credentials.

Bass shores up the frontline but can you really rely on Barnes, Anderson, and Williams??
I dunno about all that.

I’ll leave Williams alone ’cause they do need another pg.

But the only thing you get from the other two is a 7-time Bench Star and a future Indiana Pacer.

Agreed, Magic are the favourites in the East for me

Then Boston, but not by much

And Cleveland cannot win a chip as long as their starting PF is named Anderson Varejao… The most overpaid player going around

Ryan Anderson will be the X-factor this season. Mark it down. This kid will be more important to the Magic than Courtney Lee will be for the Nets or would have been for Orlando. Watch. This guy can play. If you haven’t seen what he brings, Lewis is out for the first 10 games and Anderson will get a lot of burn. Pay attention. Bass will add toughness to the frontline. The man is like a bull in a china shop in the paint. Him and Dwight will bruise people. Rashard will light it up. Nelson will be back to relegating Mo Williams to 8th on the All-Star depth list. People seem to base everything on KG coming back, Shaq stopping Dwight and blah, blah, blah…

This team is stacked! Jameer is healthy,plus they added
VC,Anderson,Bass,JWill,Barnes & resigned Gortat. They’re serious about winning a championship & they have as good
a chance as LA,SA,BOSTON,or CLEV to win it all. Its going
to be a fun season!

You know in all honesty Big Sia its going to be interesting once the playoffs come to see if Vince can be as big a contributer that Lee was..

Lee wasnt afraid of takin the shot in the playoffs and Vince isnt either but Lee will actually make the shot lol

Also Lee guarded the other team alpha male.. And we all know Vince aint no defender..

It will be interesting indeed.. In essence Vince is being asked to replace Hedo AND Lee..

I really like the addition of Vince Carter as a go-to scorer. But if the Celtics stay healthy, they’re winning it all.
