I think Orlando would have to have had some of the most talented players of these decades. Imagine this starting line-up: PG: Penny Hardaway SG: T-Mac SF: Grant Hill (Healthy) PF: Chris Webber (if they kept him) C: Shaq Bench: PF: Dwight Howard C: Ben Wallace SG: Mike Miller PG/SG: Steve Francis PF: Horace Grant SF: Corey Maggette PG: Chauncey Billups These are all players who have played with the magic (although obviously most weren't at their prime with the magic/didn't play for them (Webber). If only the magic found a way to keep them all....
we got steve francis when we traded t-mac, so it is impossible to put them both in the same team.. cause than you could just say wouldn't it be great if (for example) the lakers had: - Magic Johnson - Nick Van Exel - Abdul-Jabbar - James Worthy - Shaq - Kobe - Malone - Payton - Dennis Rodman - Eddie Jones and so on...

We also traded C-Webb for Penny. Also you forgot to mention that we traded the pick that Amare Stedemire was selected with.
Whenever threads like these are made it hurts. Every team makes mistakes but our mistakes are always big. We always let future stars go for nothing and end up making the wrong decision 80% of the time. Hopefully from now on we can make the right decisions and keep this young core of Dwight, Jameer, Darko, and Redick in place.
