    Do you think Mario Kasun will stay on the Magic's roster in the next couple of years? He doesn't seem aggresive enough to me and he isn't very good. I think the only reason he is on the roster is because he is tall. What do you think Kasun's future will be?

    Kasun has very nice touch around the basket and is a solid rebounder. He hustles a lot. He reminds me of a less raw Zaza from last year. He's way better than Declerq and should get at least 5-10 mins. I see him leaving the Magic next year and playing a solid #1 backup or starter on another team.

    I can't picutre Kasun as a starting C right now, I think a solid backup C for a playoff contender is the best he can get playing a maximum of 20 minutes a game. Maybe he goes even back to Europe to become the starting C for a Euroleague team.

    DeClerq and Kasun in the same team don't work imho, so one of them has to go.

    Its hard with Cato and Dwight AND battie all putting up good minutes. Leaving Kasun and I guess garrity to fight for the remaining minutes. Its a good position to be in though, since we have 2 players that come on and can either give us good rebound games or good point games (garrity) and give a bit of depth and varity down in the 4 and 5 positions.

    Need I remind you of how capable of a rebounder Kasun is, 10 rebs in 10mins 1 game, and is one of the better "rebs per 48mins" statsical leaders, due to the minutes he plays.
    I agree that DeClerq is absolutely useless, and is another player we can just dump off, like Bradey
