The paper seemed to think that we would leave Grant Hill and Zaza Pachilia unprotected. Opinions? I think it's a mistake not keeping Zaza, but making mistakes is what our organization does best.

If orlando gets first pick in the draft there's no reason to protect Zaza, Hunter, and Deqclerk you should sign a free agent center. With the first pick you should take Josh Smith, no Emeka Okafor. Okafor has back problems and the Magic dont need a injury prone center. This would be there lineup of protected players since they dont have to protect draft picks: 1)Tracy McGrady 2)Juwan Howard 3)Keith Bogans 4)DeShawn Stevenson 5)Drew Gooden 6)Reece Gaines 7)Pat Garrity 8)Tyronn Lue
I wouldn't get rid of Zaza...he's young and needs to develop, but he has heart, and that's what the Magic need.
