Good for 15-20 wins.

And with the first pick in the 2013 NBA draft, the Orlando Magic select (future Laker) Nerlens Noel from the University of Kentucky

Wow what a bad lineup. I think last year Kentucky Wildcats can beat that team and Im not joking. If they win 15, i be shock.

fat mamba is officially the star of a team? looks like draft lottery for a decade.

I think that team has a chance to be half way decent/respectable. You just gotta send BBD and Turkoglu to Antarctica or the Bermuda Triangle or something

Glen Davis is their best player. Theyre going to win 10-14 games.

I actually feel bad for the magic fans with the way this off-season went down there really isn't a silver lining.

The fact that they resigned nelson and didn't at least get rid of turkaglu in a howard trade kills me.

The Cs bench would probably have a better record then the magics starters.

Orlando
Nelson   = Terry
Afflalo  > Lee
Turkaglu < Green
BBD      > Sullinger (at least for a little while)
Vucevic  < Wilcox

 

I think you guys are underselling that team a bit.  They have a lot of quality role players.  I think that team is a 25-30 win team and wouldn't be surprised if they hit 32 or 33.

Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing myself.  A pretty similar roster to this one (with Dwight out due to back surgery) was able to take one game from the Pacers in Round 1 and force another into overtime, which I would think teams like the Bobcats and Nets would have had trouble doing last year.  This year they add Afflalo and Harrington, who are both decent players, and Vucevic, Harkless, and Nicholson as well.

I'm not saying they'll make the playoffs or anything, but a 25-30 win season doesn't seem implausible.

I do wonder how the departure of Stan Van Gundy impacts their performance.
