Re: Official NBA Offseason/Player Movement Thread
Hedo is going to get a huge payday, more than likely it's going to be about 12 Mill for about 4-6 years from Toronto. He'll be a productive player for a while, as well, because his game doesn't rely on speed and quickness, but rather his superior size and his shooting ability.
As for the Magic, as I said in the VC thread, I do not think the Magic get past the Celtics if they do not have Hedo and have VC instead. Carter takes away any size advantage that the Magic had with Hedo and you can see smaller guards guarding Carter.
I'm not going to say this makes the Magic noticeably worse, but it does weaken them, replacing Hedo with Carter and also losing a productive Lee, and both of your back up centers. The Magic bench has taken the biggest hit, as they now do not have one scorer off the bench, nor do they have any sort of quality big man. We'll see what they do in FA, but they are really going to be hurt by Pietrus now in the starting lineup rather than coming off the bench.
