    I think alot of people expected to see Juwan gone by the time the trade deadline came, but its been and gone, and he is still here.
    Good move? Bad move? What do you see happening now.

    I think it's a great idea to have let Juwan stay. It seems as if he wanted it to happen to. I'm not too familiar with the Magic Roster but from what I've seen, heard and read about him, he's the guy along with TMac, Hunter and Gooden whom you go to for the defensive needs of the Magic. He can score, play defense very well, has size and rebounds for you guys. He has to share the load with TMac on that end. Once you get a very dependable center, and Howard still playing the way he is, you'll be set for a much better season next year.

Either that or you need someone better than he is along with the center.

    I just don't see a point of him being here if all hes going to do is take time away from gooden.. I wouldn't mind if they split the time at all.. Infact it would be better...

    Gooden has to start though..

    They could probably do that .. , as I said in the other thread , Juwan earned it. He said he loves Orlando and the Orlando Magic organization and with all this community work and playing aswell as he was , he will probably be with Orlando at least until the off-season , who knows maybe he will stay for next season as well and get traded before the trading deadline.

    I think it's a good idea that howard stays with us. He's showed and proved us that he wants to stay. BTW MJ use that edit button man. :bigthumbu

    They might move Howard during the summer, because there is going to be a lot of good big men in the Draft and you don't want Howard stealing a lottery picks mins..

    I don't like the idea of having him stay. He is a consistent #2 option(most of the time), but he can't improve anymore. His contract status is awful, while Drew Gooden can blossom into something special later in his career. I just wish we traded him and started Gooden to give him all the minutes in the world to develop and regain his confidence. Juwan better be gone in the offseason.
