The Orlando Magic indeed are finalizing a deal with PG Luke Ridnour.

Per Josh Robbins they are finalizing it now. 3rd PG, not a big deal. I am fine with it.

Someone please decipher the depth chart. It's looking like our new rooks will get **** for minutes.

Oladipo/Ridnour/Payton
Fournier/Gordon/Green
Harris/Harkless/Marble
Frye/Gordon
Vucevic/KOQ/Dedmon

I'm fine with it too.

I actually liked Ridnour as a PG 8, 10 years ago.

He's 33 now, I assume he won't be leaving the bench that much.

I think it is a lot more like...

PG Payton / Oladipo / Ridnour
SG Oladipo / Fournier / Gordon
SF Harris / Harkless / Gordon
PF Frye / Gordon / Harris
C Vucevic / O'Quinn

Sweet. I've always liked Ridnour. He is definitely a step up from Price and I expect him to get anywhere from 10 mpg to 15 mpg on some nights.

I assume our depth chart would actually look a little more like this:

Dipo/Payton/Ridnour
Fournier/Dipo/Gordon/Green
Harris/Harkless/Gordon/Marble
Frye/Harris/Gordon
Vucevic/KOQ

I'm assuming that Dipo will get minutes at the 1 and 2, Gordon will play at the 3 and 4 and so will Harris.

I still don't get why we waived Jameer, but Ridnour is a good replacement and a good fit

Solid 3rd PG.

I see many of the small FA deals as bench upgrades. Luke Ridnour easily takes all of the past guards together as an increased package. Lamb, Price, and Moore for Ridnour: a clear upgrade in my book.

Frye is an upgrade over Davis and Maxiell.

Gordon is not an upgrade over Afflalo.

Via Hoopshype...

Excellent shooting stroke... A threat from beyond the arc... Looks for his shot first... Very creative at that... Excels in transition game... Quick hands... Lacks strength... Overmatched physically... No mean streak... Very poor defender.

This team is going to be fun to watch

Ridnour is cheaper and is willing to accept his role on the bench. Jameer is better off looking for a playoff team to help win a title.
