With the talent the Magic have locked up for the next few years; Howard, Lewis, Nelson all for 5 years and Turk for 2....I could see the Magic trading role players and/or future picks to move up in the draft if they have their eye on some one in particular.
Barring any major deals (which I don't see happening) I agree exactly with your line up! It's highly unlikely that a #22 pick could come in and crack the starting lineup.
Positives for next year:
1. The return of Battie
2. Rashard gets to play more at SF
3. Hedo could be a huge matchup problem at SG and can also play some SF
4. The whole team gained valuable playoff experience
5. Howard and Nelson are both still improving and should be even better next year.
6. Gortat, not sure why Stan sat him all year till the playoffs but he could provide valuable minutes at C/PF.
Because I think Gortat will show much improvement and can play at C and PF I think the Magic should try and get a taller defensive minded guard that can that can get backup minutes at the 1 and 2 spots.
And one more thing....whoever the Magic get they MUST BE ABLE TO SHOOT FREE THROWS!!!!!!
