Orlando sends Tobias Harris, Channing Frye, Draft Pick to Denver Nuggets for Kenneth Faried, Wilson Chandler

The Orlando Magic have the luxury of some options in the frontcourt, but the team lacks a rim protector, interior presence and toughness. Scanning the players that are reportedly available, or with the proper prodding could become available, acquiring a player like Kenneth Faried would quickly change that.

The Magic are about to hear the phone ringing. And Rob Hennigan’s cell phone may vibrate and convulse onto the floor if some of his conjurings come to fruition.

Tobias Harris has proven himself to be a scorer, and teams need that, be it starting or otherwise.

Yet, despite Harris’ natural scoring ability, he does not necessarily make teammates better. His skill set is formidable as either a 3 or a 4, but it is difficult to imagine him getting worlds better than he is now.

That said, the Magic need some help at the rim. Jacque Vaughn has received immense criticism, but the fact is, that at times he just lacks the personnel to stop opposing teams’ offenses.

Kenneth Faried would change that, and he would also address the Magic’s need for a rim protector.
