TheRevTy 6 Report post Posted June 3, 2010 rtillaree, I agree. In fact, I would think the Magic have looked at that, which might be why he is being pushed to the back burner. And for all of you who are thinking this all sounds like throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks, remember that I am hearing this all third hand. Also, consider that the Magic truly are in the "see what sticks" phase as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Howard/Gortat is more like having Ovechkin backing up Sidney Crosby. (Do they play the same position? Are there positions in hockey, or is it a free for all?)

They have Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph, so I don't know what interest they'd have in Gortat, but that is who he said would be offered. Yeah, that one doesn't seem to make much sense for Memphis.

TheRevTy 6 Report post Posted June 3, 2010 Truth be told, who knows how everything shakes out. There will be so much going on this summer that the ideal situation may turn up. It does seem apparent that the Magic are not satisfied with the current lineup and will look to dramatically improve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
