Post all info about the Draft Lottery here and when the selection for Orlando is made, talk about it in here. The Lottery is on tonight on ESPN at 8:30. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">2005 MAGIC DRAFT SUMMARY The Magic have 8 ping pong balls out of a total of 1000 which gives a 0.80% chance of gaining the first overall pick, a 0.95% chance of getting pick #2, and a 1.15% chance of getting pick #3. If the Magic do not win one of these three picks, they will pick 11th overall. # FIRST ROUND SELECTION: Have own pick # OBLIGATIONS: None # SECOND ROUND SELECTIONS: Have option to take the most favorable pick between its own, the L.A. Clippers and Toronto; Cleveland?s pick belongs to Orlando A trading deadline of 6pm (EDT), May 23, 2005, has been established. No trade involving any of the lottery picks may be made from that time until the conclusion of the Lottery. </div> http://www.nba.com/magic/news/playoff_test-136882-800.html Hopefully the Magic will go against the odds and have one of their 8 ping pong balls chosen! Even if we don't get #1 I hope we get a decent pick.
8:30 eastern, Iam not hoping for a #1 pick iam really hoping we land May in the 1st round and get Julius Hodge in the second , and some other player maybe someone to trade with Kato or Doug for a taller Point Guard. Would Penny wanna come back, now that his friend Brian is back?
May at 11 would be a huge reach and I hope we don't take him then. If we can get another pick later in the 1st round(similar to the Jameer situation last year), I wouldn't mind taking him, but I don't want to give up another future 1st for him. I see us taking a PF in the 2nd round(praying for David Lee)
Yeah May at #11 would a be a bit high. But one question, why would you want to take a PF? He would just take touches away from Dwight Howard.
Taking a power forward would be ridiculous unless you want a backup for dwight, and in the draft you don't go around looking for backupsd when you have starting roles to fill. I.E. center or sg. Oh and as much as I hate it, I think we have to trade either Jameer or Steve, havin them both is great, but havin 5 players playin the right position would be better. I doubt francis for pierce, or francis in a sign and trade for ray allen is possible but that's be ideal. Possobly jameer for a slightly lesser 2 is also possible. P.S. I really hope we kep barrett.
Francis for a sign and trade with Michael Redd to a team that needs a PG and is good at the SG position.
