	They don't need Maggette, they need a PF to pair with Howard. Is Battie expected to play this season? He could help but not the answer. They just need help up front. They are making a run at Duhon, he's a good back up PG. He would be a fool to pick the Knicks over the Magic (and I'm a Knick fan). Guess they don't think too highly of Arroyo or Dooling. They need to use Redick more, every team needs a sniper. They can let Bogans walk with Lee signed. Potential line up: G-J. Nelson/C. Duhon or C. Arroyo or K. Dooling G-R. Lewis/C.Lee/JJ Redick F-H. Turkoglu/M. Evans F-T. Battie/B. Cook/J. Augustine C-D. Howard/A. Foyle/M. Gortat They need to play big, putting Lewis at the SG and moving Turkoglu to SF. This will certainly help them come playoff time. 52-30 will be hard to top.

	Arroyo's not coming back, scratch him off the list. Do we really need another PG/SG when we can sign a big guy? Bogans isn't a free agent until next year I think. Oh yeah, Foyle's off that list too, because he's not coming back as well. 52-30 won't be hard to top, we'll just build on it.

	I agree that we do not need a SG at this point and should go after a big man instead. However, I think Hedo should be the one to start at the 2 because he already plays point forward with how much he brings the ball up. That would allow Shard to play the 3 and perhaps go after a FA big like Kwame Brown (gasp) or Kurt Thomas or even better; make a play for David Lee by dangling Redick to the Knicks. By having Hedo at the 2 it still creates the matchup troubles for the opposition we had before, but at a different spot. Also when the starting 4 needs rest we can rotate Hedo to the 3 and Shard to the 4 and create the lineup we had last year.

	I would like it if our lineup ended up like this: C: Howard / Gortat PF: David Lee / Tony Battie / Augustine (Cook can play there too) SF: Rashard Lewis / Brian Cook (Maurice Evans can play there too) SG: Hedo Turkoglu / Maurice Evans / Courtney Lee / Keith Bogans / JJ Redick PG: Jameer Nelson / Chris Duhon (looks like we might get him, if we don't Dooling will be backup instead) That's a total of 14 players. So basically we sign Chris Duhon. Leave Arroyo, Dooling, Garrity, Foyle. Trade rights to Fran Vazquez, JJ Redick, Keith Bogans, plus Dooling (if we sign Duhon) (sign and trade) for David Lee...picks can be added as well... It'll create a squad of 12...which is what we want. We can then add to our team from our summer league team possibly... That makes this our 12-man squad for games: C: Howard / Gortat PF: David Lee / Battie / Augustine SF: Shard / Cook SG: Turk / Evans / Lee PG: Nelson / Duhon
