No Trade Now What?

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but if Fran comes over this might not be that bad. We wouldn't really even need to worry about PF/C in the offseason. We'd have a rotation of Dwight, Fran, Battie, Cook, plus the occasional mins when we get small that Shard/Turk play the PF spot. That should be solid enough assuming Dwight doesn't get hurt.

Then we could draft a PG or SG in the draft with our pick. (DJ Augustin, Kyle Weaver, Shan Foster-really high on him, but would be a reach with our 1st).

Then use the MLE on either SG or PG. Then resign Mo Evans and Keyon Dooling.

PG-DJ Augustin, Jameer, Dooling
SG-Evans, MLE, JJ
SF-Shard, Turk
PF-Battie, Fran
C-Dwight, Cook

I know Augustin isn't a big PG and defense is suspect, but he's the type of passing PG that we need. Jameer would be the spark off the bench that we need. Hopefully the 2 guard we get with the MLE can play D(or we'll just use Dooling there). Only problem is JJ is still buried deep on the bench.

it could be that otis knowes somthing we do not and that is that tony b might be back soon or that pat the bench went to the eye doc and glot glasses so he can look like ho garan heck you never knoe

We see how this season plays out. We resign Evans and Dooling and let the rest walk. We try to bring Fran over if possible. We get very happy that Battie is back. We draft a big man or SG (Kyle Weaver, Brandon Rush, DeVon Hardin, DJ White...) and we sign a solid player with the MLE. All the people saying we can not get better this offseason are crazy. We could theoretically get DJ White, Fran, Battie, and Childress (or other MLE SG) to add to this season's 50 win team.

Show some patience Magic fans.
