A big who can at least trade some elbows down there would be nice. A. Johnson if waived could be a good option. I'd also look at Flip Murray for sure.
edit, sorry, thought it was alexander johnson, not anthony :\
Will the Magic make a pickup before the playoffs?

He does a heck of a job commentating for Iron Chef.

Simien is injured, and stays injured...he was waived at the begining of the season or right before...
Fazekas is no more than Brian Cook + James Augustine combined IMO...

I'd trust your choice on Elton Brown. Every report coming from the D-League makes him look pretty good!

Also true, but that'd probably mean that Arroyo wouldn't see any minutes again in a Magic uniform and I doubt that'd happen.

Not necessarily Zup, 4 PG's are better than 3 in the playoffs, IMO AJ would get just as much time as Arroyo, we would switch up more frequently and keep Dooling guarding the 2, especially when the other team runs small...it could go either way...
ESPN newswire was saying that PJ Brown might be wearing a uniform before the end of the week...what's up with that?

If Williams from the Pacers gets waived, I want him here..He has talent and upseide.. and no I am not thinknin of the one in NJ..
David Harrison is a player I wanted when he first started playing, but he is injury prone.. and If Shawn Williams doesn't come here I would like to see us go after Wright, waive Arroyo and Pick up Anthony Johnson....

What ever happened to Wayne Simien? Miami was really high on him.
Fazekas from Dallas was waived.
Elton Brown is dominating the D-League, does he belong to a team?
As far as I know, Simien is not playing in the U.S. right now. I know he likes Stan because I read an interview where he said he thought he learned a lot from him. Health issues took him out for a long time.
The Lakers signed Elton Brown, and they still only have 14 players on their roster so maybe they still own his rights.
As far as I know, no one has picked up Fazekas.
As far as guys like P.J. Brown, Dale Davis, and Brent Barry, they most likely would rejoin the teams they last played with (Hornets, Pistons and Spurs). But at the very least, they would be joining a team that they think is capable of making it to the Finals without them and that they just would be a piece on.

i don't see how we can deny the need for a big. even if it's a short term fix, to bring in a guy to fill the role that Battie should be filling this season and next. i mean, the team needs to learn to include him in the system at some point, what's wrong with doing so now?
hoops is right about the vets. we're not the proven, hardy team that they'll look to jump in with. we need to get a young up and comer, or someone like Magloire, that's useful, but never porven much.

I saw a comment, I forgot where but Otis was basically talking about changing the team or w/e or totally making it over. Nobody is even asking him to do that, just need somebody besides Cook/Foyle off the bench.. if not use Auggie or Gortat.. but its kinda late for that.
