With the Magic on the verge of getting one of their targets, Rashard Lewis a scoring option on the wings to help out this team, we are all happy as Magic fans. Undoubtedly we are happy about what is happening there, however, there is still much to ponder for the Magic and their future. The biggest question mark, comes in the form of big men help, what are they going to do?

This past season, the Magic was effectively a three big man rotation, with Dwight Howard, Tony Battie, and Darko Milicic being that rotation. As of now however, Milicic is in the free agent market, the Magic have not even tried to contact Darko Milicic according to an article in the Orlando-Sentinel newspaper. That is good in the fact that we can not really afford Milicic without damaging us in the cap for the future. However, Milicic was a promising talent, that looked like he could be a good player in the future. His fundamentals were coming into play alot better, he was understanding playbooks better, his defense was there for him he looked like a solid future big man.

With him leaving, what are we going to do for our big man rotation? Bo Outlaw is old, and just really not that talented at all. He plays on pure energy, but that only gets him so far, as well as Bo Outlaw is a free agent also. That leaves a couple of ways for us to act. We could sign back Bo Outlaw for the veteran’s minimum, bring Augustine in, and have them two racing for playing time. A move that could work, but not overly likely to do much. The Magic could let Bo Outlaw go, and try to sign Marc Jackson or someone like him in the free agent market. A solid big man, who has a nice mid range jump shot, and will play solid defense. Not great defense or anything, but he will cause the other big men problems. He is a little older, and can work with Augustine, while being able to handle playing time much better than Bo Outlaw. He is signable for the Veterans’ minimun, and able to be brought in. Past him, there are not many other big men out there, that would provide us much help.

So those are the two solutions I am looking at, but who knows what will happen in the future. I hope we make the right decision though, as this could be a huge area of need for us this next year if we don’t.
