It was obvious after the Orlando Magic were dominated by the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals recently that there had to be some changes to the roster to make them able to compete with a team like the Lakers.
One move that had to be made was Rafer Alston going elsewhere due to Jameer Nelson taking over the starting role next season, there was no way the two could coexist no matter how well Alston played in the postseason for the Magic.
Courtney Lee on the other hand was a pleasant surprise for the Magic this season as he played like he were a ten year veteran as a rookie. That being said, Lee's value was as high as ever and packaging Alston and Lee for a primetime player seemed like a great idea.
Of all the players I would have thought would have been dealt to Orlando, Vince Carter was not one of them, but that is what happened and now the Magic are even more dynamic than before which is hard to believe.
