As the May 26th lottery drawing approaches, the dilemma Magic GM John Weisbrod faces increases each day. As it stands right now, he can approach the top 5 guaranteed pick from two standpoints: keep it and draft the best player available, or trade it to increase the chances of retain Tracy McGrady.

Even though the likely scenario has Orlando keeping the pick, it can't ignore the fact that Tracy McGrady has the team under pressure to rebuild quickly. No Antoine Walker trades, however, even if Dallas would do the unimaginable and take Grant Hill's contract.

If the Magic decide to keep the pick, the Magic rookie next season will likely come from the next pool of players: Emeka Okafor, Howard, Livingston, Ben Gordon, Luol Deng and Pavel Podkolzine (because you always must consider somebody 7 foot 5).
