Rate the Magics offseason I say a B- because they got real young but soon this will be there best offseason in their franchise.
B+. This team went from a team with absolutely no depth to a team that has really good talent at every position in the starting five as well as a lot of talent coming off the bench. If Howard turns out to be the player that we all know he can become, this could very well become the best offseason we've ever had aside from acquiring Shaq in '92.
A- They went from 0 to almost hero IMO. We've gotten some really great youth and vetarinship(if that's a word) to this team that will really take us far now and in the future. Great Job done by John W.
A+. They went from having one super star that couldnt lead the team to over 30 wins last year or ever past the first round to having great depth in the back court with Nelson, francis, mobely, and bogans. As well as getting howard in the draft and getting good defenders. They actually got a exciting team together out of nothing. They got two guys who can score 20+ points on any given night in moebly and francis for a guy who played 60 something games last year and was reproted to have a bad attitude as a leader. Although he was a good scorer he was not much more from what I have read. They also got a good vetern in Stacey Augman and resigned Deshawn Stevenson added with the fact that Grant hill may be healthy that is a good three man rotation at the small forward spot. Then they got cato a under rated charles oakly type defender who will be big in the paint. He provides a solid inside man along with battie them two can protect the paint. I dont give a f*** what anyone says about the heat having shaq and that meaning we have to go through them. The division goes through the magic because they have the most depth and talent of any team. The heat have shaq, wade, jones, and a decent player in person. Not much considering what they had last year in terms of depth.
A-. They had a really good offseason. Drafted Dwight Howard, and trade for the rights to Jameer Nelson. They traded T-Mac who wasnt happy here for Kelvin Cato, Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley and in the process lost Tyronn Lue who isnt the greatest but has heart, Juwan Howard and his contract, and the seldom-used Reece Gaines. They traded Drew Gooden who was doomed to rot on the bench with the arrival of Dwight Howard for a good veteran Tony Battie who can mentor Dwight. They signed Hedo Turkoglu, Stacey Augmon, Mario Kasun, Michael Bradley, and re-signed Deshawn Stevenson. All were good if not great signing's for the squad. Grant Hill is healing up, and Garrity is too.
