And do you think Bynum/Gasol can score from the mid range like he can?

Gasol can score better from everywhere, including three.

Between Varejao and Wallace there's plenty of defense to cover LA's big men.

Too bad they're both offense liabilities (Less so for Varejao, but he's too small to compete with Gasol and Bynum around the rim).

The only two who really give Z troubles are Shaq, Yao, and with the way Dwight Howard as played this year probably him.

You really don't think a long physical, athletically gifted player like Bynum who will only get better as the season progresses won't give Z fits in the low post?

The only one of those Z will see in the playoffs is Howard, and I think the Magic are still one good starter from being an elite team.

Agreed, I think Courtney Lee was an excellent pick and if he and Nelson continue to develop apace the Magic will be just as good as the Cavs and Celtics in 2-3 years, maybe even next year.
