The reason that the Magic are shopping the #1 pick is that they want immediate help. McGrady doesn't want to have to go through another rookie's mistakes. While Okafor would help out, he wouldn't help out enough to sway T-Mac to stay, they would still be a lotto team.
The TE could prove valuable, and I hope is treated well by Rox. If reports of GH's foot are true then your deal would be wonderful.
Orlando may be desperate to get rid of Hill, but no way in hell are they just going to give away the #1 pick to get rid of Hill’s contract and get nothing in return. I don’t know how much cap space they would gain by losing Hill’s contract, but even if it’s a significant amount, there’s no guarantee they would be able to sign anybody. That would leave them with the exact same team they had this prior season.
Orlando? Who knows what they'll do. They don't appear to have a direction at this point. Do they have a coach? A clear path with McGrady's thoughts on his future? They have a hockey guy who appears to be a goon or goof or who knows what. Toronto? Nearly the same as Orlando. Knicks? Will/can isaih blow them up again?
I think the re-signed Johnny Davis. But Orlando does seem that they are really confused, but I guess it all depends on T-Mac. If I was T-Mac, I would get the hell out of there, even though he's from Florida, the Magic don't seem that they are doing what is necessary to win. 4 of the 5 starters don't even deserve that much PT.
