You think Turk would have put up 20 ppg, shooting 44% and 42%, as a #1 option? You think he has the capability to do that?
I don't.
Not to mention, IMO turk has a bad contract.

Neither do I. But Turk is a great 3rd option on a team. He hits 46% from three point land, and 46% from the field as well. Lewis is a better player, no doubt... But Turk is one of the better 3rd options aout there. We will have to agree to disagree on that one.
Nobody's saying the Magic are a complete team. They weren't before the trade. But Cato is certainly expendable, centers like him are available for the MLE every year. As is Turk. They needed a #2 option, which is much harder to get.
This would have been a great trade for the Magic had they kept Haywood, imo... But, without Haywood or Cato at center, it will be tough to make the playoffs in the East. And that makes those draft picks very valuable...
