The drafting of Kentucky shooting guard DeAndre Liggins has some in Orlando believing that impending free agent Jason Richardson's days with the Magic are numbered.

Orlando GM Otis Smith has said that he believes that JJ Redick, a valuable reserve who has steadily improved his game since being drafted in 2006, is ready to be an NBA starter. After a disappointing first-round exit to the Atlanta Hawks, the Magic are looking to make significant line-up changes in an effort to re-sign Dwight Howard before his free agency next summer.
