The Orlando Magic just won the championship.

Are you being sarcastic?  Barnes is a decent 10-12th man on most teams, but can only really be counted on more than that in certain systems.  He could potentially fit into Orlando's system as a PF backing up Lewis, but if they are going to put him on the wing, he will be nothing special.  I wouldn't be surprised if he is stuck behind Redick in the rotation.
I think he'll be ahead of Redick, just because he's a longer defender.

Still Orlando has improved their depth, and they were a pretty deep team to begin with. Only at PG do they not have a very capable backup.

Reddick has a chance to be the starting SG, like when Lee was injured.
Why wouldn't they play Vince at the 2 and use Pietrus or Rashard at the 3?

Because lewis at the 4 got them to the NBA finals.  Why change that?


And I think they like Pietrus off the bench.

Vince is much better at the 2 though, and then they could get Bass into the starting lineup too.

I think they are better off with a shooter like Reddick or Peitrus out there with a shooter in Lewis to really spread the floor for Howard and Nelson.

Bass had an eFG of .445 on jumpers. I think he can shoot well enough to spread the floor for the rest of the line up.

I don't see Barnes as a rotation player for the Magic. Good insurance player.
