Cohen 8-Ball: It Would Be Best If...
Josh Cohen's Analysis: It would probably be best to avoid shattering the Magic's nucleus of young talent to acquire marginal star players such as Rudy Gay, Danny Granger, Al Jefferson, Monta Ellis and Eric Gordon. It's common for teams to get impatient and throw all their cards into whoever best is available at the moment. However, this is how franchises get caught into financial headaches and pedestrian performance. All five of those aforementioned players are at best B+ talent. They eat up your payroll; yet don't guide you to championship potential. There will be bigger fish to catch down the line.
