    The Orlando Magic have put Golden State Warriors center Adonal Foyle at the top of their free-agent wish list, believing he might be their best combination of affordability and fit.

    I like Foyle. I hope they sign him as I'm not completely sold on Cato. I think he's a back-up center on a championship team or a 25-30 min starter. He gets in foul trouble to often and is injury prone. THis would be a good signing IMO.

    Another center sounds nice. That's what we need. We're stacked at every other position

    We should pick up a small forward too I think, or a swingman. Foyle would be nice. I dunno who I like more, him or Mark Blount.

    Well, I think 1 free agent pick-up would be enough. Our roster is already stacked. Probbaly going to have pull a few trades with Gooden or Declerq.

    We should keep Gooden. Declercq would be a nice 3rd-string center.

    Yup, Mark Blount is a free agent, and if we were to go after anyone I'd like to see him in a Magic uni. However, theres been several reports that he's interested in the 76ers.

    If we were to land him it would probably be via sign and trade, but our main trade bait would be Drew Gooden. Would we be willing to give him up?

    Blount has been flirting with Miami since possible, the reports with Philly are that Jim O'Brien wants him, but would he start in Philly with Dalmbert there?

    If you guys get foyle thats it this team is set starters to the deep bench scoring you guys might be able to give detriot a run for their money. As long as the team can be come cohesive and gel together. Basically as long as everybody knows their role on this team they are going to be great. Like the pistons each person knew their role

    I personally like this idea. I believe he would be a great fit for Orlando. I love Foyle and I think that if the Magic keep building this way, they may emerge as a true contender in the next 4 or 5 seasons.
