</TD></TR><TR><TD vAlign=top colSpan=3>The Magic are expected to make offers to free agents Rasheed Wallace and Brandon Bass, according to NBA sources cited on FanHouse.com.
Orlando gave up Tony Battie in the trade for Vince Carter, and they're expected to lose Marcin Gortat as a free agent. Wallace and Bass play the same position (PF) with very different styles, but either guy would give Dwight Howard some much-needed support. Wallace, who wants to finish his career with a contending team from the East, is also being pursued by the Celtics.

If they sign Wallace, does he & Carter have enough left to help Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis & co. compete for the title again?

that would be huge. a legit power forward and the magic should be the favorites to win it all

Sheed is a cancer who will kill the chemistry of that young team, bad move IMO ...

Gortat will be a great player next year. He will be a huge boost for fantasy teams if he ends up in a medicore team and plays lot of minutes. If he averages 30+minutes he is capable of averaging more than 15 points per game and 15 rebounds per game....with lot of blocks!

Wallace played for top level teams/management Wash Bullets, Trail Blazers, Atlanta Hawks, and Pistons where he won a NBA Championship. Maybe it was the teams that poisoned him. Wallace was always an important team player and has always been respected among players.
