While I agree that one could a...I have a question. <BR/><BR/>While I agree that one could argue the Magic lost just as much as they gained this off season (even though I don't agree with that at all); how come there are so many people saying the Magic now have a void at shooting guard now that Grant Hill is gone (like they didn’t have one last season)? <BR/><BR/>Grant Hill never was a shooting guard, and never will be a shooting guard. Just because we lost the guy that was playing totally out of position, doesn't mean we have any more of a void there then we did last year.<BR/><BR/>In all actuality, the team could be better off actually playing the shooting guards on the roster that had to rot the bench last year as Grant and Keyon were playing the spot out of position.<BR/><BR/>While I wouldn’t mind Grant still being here as a bench player, I just don’t see a place for him. I truly don’t think the Magic will miss Grant.<BR/><BR/>As for Darko, I’m still upset about that loss. Depending on how his career goes, I might be left wondering what could have been here if Otis would have found a way to satisfy his sorry greedy-ass agent. I really wish we still had Darko. <BR/><BR/>Hopefully Foyle, Battie, and Gortat, along with Turk and Shard can hold our frontline over until we can land another quality player; who knows, maybe Fran Vasquez?<BR/><BR/>You also mentioned something about the offense Stan will run. While I’m looking forward to see what Stan does with these players, I don’t think his offense is anything like the offense Don Nelson runs. Nelson runs a full force run and gun, and I love watching it, but I think Stan is a little in between what Brian Hill did with defense, and what Nelson does was offense. That is the reason I think Foyle will fit in nicely, because I just can’t see us running a helter-skelter offense like GSW.<BR/><BR/>To jump to the conclusion, if this is our roster, and because we have Stan; I think we’re a 50 win team in the East.OVERWADEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622480986286528477noreply@blogger.com
