Jazz will keep him, I like Millsap but you won't get him from the Jazz.

Millsap would be great, he's one of those Powe, Maxiell, Bass, Landry kind of guys...Problem is, Utah will covet him pretty highly when he becomes a FA, and I actually think that the team has an option on him or he has another year, I cant remember, but I have looked into him already......

we need a workhorse in the paint. someone who just goes for rebounds and plays crazy defense and doesnt look to shoot even if he is open.

Disagree.
The Magic should pickup Robin Lopez a great defensive presence inside something that the Magic are really need. Howard needs the help considering he is the only big man that can work the boards and run the court. Battie is slow and Lewis and Hedo are not great at banging the boards.

will R Lopez be available in 2nd rd? draft Rush or CDR in 1st rd. we also would need to acquire and 2nd rd pick.

Robin Lopez will not be around for the second round and as you know the team doesn't have a pick in the second round.
Rush is a waste for the Magic they need a PF/C with presence something that Robin Lopez will do.

What the Magic don't need is another SF so you want the Magic to throw away their pick on Rush that doesn't make any sense.

Any of those guys would fit in perfectly on our team. Muscle and toughness.

Are best chances are in free agency, not in the draft. The last thing we need is a rookie on this team that will probably never pan out. Go for an established guy that we know what we'll get from him. And we are like the Miami Dolphins, we have way too many holes that one player can solve. PF is just one step. We need to also do a major overhaul at the guard positions.

There are a lot of different ways we can go this summer. I too believe we need a banger down low to play D and hit the boards but we have to keep our options open. The draft probably won't produce a solid contributor for us in that capacity but free agency just might. We'll see though, we might get lucky with a several potential draftees who meet our needs there. Good news is the draft is deep and our options are plentiful.

Richard Hendrix is that guy this year. The only reason teams pass over the proven production is because hes not 6-10.

Or

I'd say Craig Smith or Ryan Gomes would be nice addition to the squad.Both play the same position and since Al Jefferson is there as well,I might say that Minny would be very willing to move one of them for maybe someone like JJ?
