This is incorrect.

The teams with a worse record than Orlando are, Cleveland, Portland, Sacramento, Toronto, Washington, and Detroit.

BPA!

We can speculate on names all we want but we will know nothing until those ping pong balls pop.

That is going to be one fun aspect of this rebuild.

Remember, The Magic do have extra picks in future years or could use cap space to net some more picks and Hennigan has signaled that this will be the way The Magic are built.

And the Lakers aren't gonna make the playoffs either

The Magic will be in the mix for a Top 3 pick at the end of the year, we're absolutely terrible

True. If Dwight or Kobe goes down with injury, the Lakers are done and Magic get a top 20 pick.

You guys really need to take the Pat Williams factor into effect and be wise to stop predicting where we'll actually pick until the draft lottery (if we don't make the playofs) is completed and we know.

Shabazz Muhammad. He can be a star swingman, something the Magic haven't had since TMac. Use our mid-round picks on big bodies and role players if we need them

Zeller and Nerlens Noel just don't cut it for me - they have "role player" written all over them.

My statement was not about an opinion to the future. My statement was, "The teams with a worse record than Orlando are, Cleveland, Portland, Sacramento, Toronto, Washington, and Detroit." This is factually true as written. And it is not a statement of conjecture.

Tony Mitchell. You heard it here first.

In this league if you want to be near the top, you need a SF who can straight ball with the likes of Lebron and Durant. Mitchell is a bad ass and he has the power, frame, athleticism, handle and aggressiveness to match them. I hear the cries for Wiggins in 2014, but that's a really big pipe dream.

Tony Mitchell! Tony Mitchell! Tony Mitchell!

Harkless can give us good depth. Mitchell will be a Super Star.

That's not true at all.

It will come down to BPA...and if two guys are close, then management will take a look at needs.

We have a lot of good young talent right now...it is very raw, but it is still there. The NBA season is very long...we will have a completely different opinion of the players on the roster come March. A lot of them will probably be different as well.

As many have said though...we have no stars. At the end of the day, it will be BPA.

We should go Nerlens Noel. Be pretty bad again next year and get another high draft pick just like the thunder did. And next year if we could somehow get Andrew Wiggins, with him and Noel running this team and some of the right pieces we would be back to competing in no time.

This draft stuff is such a process and crap shoot and there is SO MUCH riding on it. You say BPA and i can understand that but picks like Derrick Williams make me scared of BPA. EVERYONE said that he was the consensus number 2 pick behind Kyrie Irving and was the BPA after Irving. So Minny picked him at 2 even though in my opinion he didn't fit with the team but hey he's the BPA so it doesn't matter.

Now look at him, he still doesn't fit with Minnesota and on top of that he's not playing up to his pick and he was the SECOND OVERALL PICK! I totally understand taking the BPA but it makes me nervous man when i think about picks like Hasheem Thabeet, Derrick Williams and to lesser extent Micheal Beasley. IDK maybe i just like a player with talent that's a better fit instead of just the most Talented player regardless of position IDK maybe i'm wrong.

trade the pick for a lotto pick next year. 2 top 10 picks in a deep draft.
