Very good trades. Like I said before the season started - Magic needs to get of Vince Carter and Lewis if they want to win a championship. They def. have a better team now and the team is now a true contender.
How is any team going to double Howard now with Arenas and JRich on the perimeter???

Your 2nd paragraph is I think why the Magic took a chance here.

Boston doesn't double Howard. And I'm not sure how Arenas and JRich are any different in terms of being 3 point threats than Lewis and Carter. The last team with this little defensive talent to make the Finals is the 92-93 Suns. They have one great defender, and virtually nothing else. The only two other decent defensive players that they have are Redick & Duhon, both of whom will presumably not be getting minutes.

If J-Rich keeps it up, Dwight wakes up Hibachi and they start a comic book series together, and Hedo can get back to the pizza, this is going to be a VERY fun team to watch, especially on the break
Im hoping the change of scenery gets Gilbert back on his grind...

The biggest loss is Gortat. The Magic need to trade for a backup center.

I'm not disagreeing here, but I don't think people are realizing Earl Clark is 6'10".

If you're pinning your hopes on Earl Clark to play meaningful minutes, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

Not at all. But guys like him, Allen, and Orton can't hurt. All big bodies.

Define big; Clark is about 200 lbs soaking wet.
