I would LOVE Jermaine O'Neal or Redd. Brand got hurt this year, and I am just not one for guys coming off big injuries. O'Neal is a GREAT PF with a huge frame, soild atheletiscism, and a decent short jumper. He is the player, I believe that Dwight should structure his game around. Dwight is the only rebounder we have, but O'Neal would fill that role.
Jameer is the PG now, and down the road. He may be a little small but he is so strong and physical that he makes up for his height a little bit when he takes it towards the rim. He's also a very solid shooter.
If we go the road towards Redd or another guard/small foward, I'd like Maressee Speights in the draft because he's a good rebounder and shooter. Gortat and him would be good coming off the bench as the 4/5, which is our big problem, the lack of depth down low.
Dooling needs to be locked up. He is bigger, fast, and has a good shot so he can play 1 or 2. Bogans and Evans should bothe be kept around because they are our two best defenders even though hamilton's flops took that reputation away a little.
Arroyo, garrity should be gone. arroyo does nothing and garrity just doesn't get in the games as much as he should. I think he played well enough during the regular season to earn play-off minutes, but SVG decided not to give it to him and go 8 deep.
My Ideal 2009 line-up
PG-
- Nelson
- Dooling
SG-
- Turk
- Evans
- Bogans
- Reddick
SF-
- Rashard
- Rush
- *Turk
- *Bogans
- *Evans
PF-
- Jermaine O'Neal
- Tony Battie
- Fran Vasquez
- Augustine
C-
- Dwight Howard
- Marcin Gortat
This is like my third rough draft for the line-up. Jermaine, Dwight, Rashard would make up the best front court in the NBA hands down if the current one isn't already. Turk, Jameer would make up a solid back-court. Three's flying everywhere and two top-teer rebounders down low. An un-beatable combo.
Go Magic.
Nest year-#1 seed, sweeping the Hawks in round 1
Beating Cleveland in 6 in round two
Finally getting over the Detroit hump in 7.
Beating NO in 7 for the NBA championship.
haha I hope
