    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Tracking MagicMagic shooting guard DeShawn Stevenson is in the process of getting other opinions on his troublesome left knee that might need surgery this summer. He still is planning to opt out of the final year of his contract this summer, hoping for a better deal. . . . Point guard Jameer Nelson will be playing next season with special inserts in both shoes, hoping to avoid the foot problems that sidelined him for almost a month this season. . . . Orlando has the rights to three second-round picks in the upcoming draft, but it's highly unlikely it will use all three. . . . According to one team source, the Magic would be tickled to get power forward Shelden Williams or shooting guard J.J. Redick -- both from Duke -- with their No. 11 pick.</div>

    I would pick up JJ. They have the developing inside game already with Darko and Dwight. An ouside shooter for them to throw the ball to wouldn't hurt at all.

    It's looking nice with Darko and Dwight as the bigs, but they need an upgrade at the SG/SF. Stevenson is nothing much more than a backup, unless he can really improve his game this summer. Turkoglu is still a great piece, but it nice to insert him on the bench to get some additional scoring.

    I think that Stevenson/Turkoglu/Hill in the SG/SF spot will work for now. They need to draft Sheldon this year, and get a swing man in free agency, or maybe the draft next year.

    I think your completely wrong here, the Stevenson/Turkoglu/Hill/Ariza rotation at the 2/3 spot will not work for us. Also i don't believe the team needs to take a big man in this draft. The Magic have the down low game working for them, Howard and Battie control the boards well and Milicic controls the paint defensively for us. What the team needs is a three point shooter out on the wing to stretch the defense and give Howard a little more room down low. No one on the team is a pure three point shooter, and no one on the team can stretch the defense. Turkoglu is a decent three point shooter, but not near as good as the Magic needs. Depending where we go in the draft, JJ Reddick would be a good pick for us, as he has the best stroke of any player coming out of the draft.

    I think it depends on if Vasquez joins the team this year.
