Honestly, regardless of what has been said, I'd kill to see the Magic succeed in the present and future. I'm a Heat fan, but they are a Florida team so likewise, I will root for them as long as my team is no longer in contention. I like SVG as a person although I don't see him as a "winner" in that sense. I'm also a huge Dwight Howard fan.
1. Vince Carter - don't waste your money. He'll fill the seats and team up for some great regular seasons with Howard, but he is a prone loser. That guy is a loser, plain and simple. He will never touch an NBA Finals trophy. 30-years old now and looking to cash in one more time.. that's my view. Would I take him on my Heat? Hell yes, because he wouldn't be asked to win Playoff games in the clutch. But for the Magic who need a guy who can take games over, I don't like him much at all.
2. Rashard Lewis - he'd be a nice signing for Orlando. He's a perfect #2 option, but my thing is, how much do you spend on a guy like Rashard Lewis? Seattle looks like they will either re-sign him, or try and sign-and-trade, and I don't think Orlando has the pieces.
3. Gerald Wallace - great defender, developing offensive game. However, I don't think he fits exactly what Orlando needs to team up with Dwight Howard. They wouldn't compliment each other's game as well as a scorer would.
Personally, I think Orlando should target Chauncey Billups and try dealing Jameer Nelson for a young swingman. I'm not a big fan of Nelson's point guard skills being used correctly with a guy like Dwight Howard. He's not a passer.
