Orlando Magic Trade: Did the Magic Strike Gold with Gilbert Arenas?

Today, the Orlando Magic made some big moves as they first traded Vince Carter, Marcin Gortat, Mickael Pietrus, a 2011 first-round pick and cash considerations to the Phoenix Suns for Hedo Turkoglu, Jason Richardson and Earl Clark.

Then, the Magic went ahead and traded away Rashard Lewis (and his hefty contract) to the Washington Wizards in exchange for troubled point guard Gilbert Arenas.

Arenas hasn't exactly been happy playing second fiddle to John Wall in Washington, so he might fit in just fine down in Orlando.

As for the Phoenix Suns, they will get a seasoned veteran in Vince Carter, and he could capitalize on Steve Nash's talents and find his second wind.

So which team got the best deal?
