"The Orlando Magic haven't just tweaked their roster.

They've overhauled it.

The slumping Magic on Saturday completed two blockbuster trades that carry significant risk but have the potential to markedly upgrade their sputtering offense.

In the first trade, Orlando acquired former Magic forward Hedo Turkoglu, swingman Jason Richardson and forward Earl Clark from the Phoenix Suns for guard Vince Carter, center Marcin Gortat, swingman Mickael Pietrus, a 2011 first-round pick and cash.

In the second deal, the Magic obtained talented but controversial guard Gilbert Arenas from the Washington Wizards for forward Rashard Lewis.

"I thought we needed scoring and we needed a little bit more punch," Magic President of Basketball Operations Otis Smith said. "All those guys coming in have the ability to move the ball and score the ball. At the same time, looking at our team pretty much through 25 games, we were missing a little something and I thought change was needed."

It's unclear how coach Stan Van Gundy will configure his rotation in the days and weeks ahead, although he emphasized that Jameer Nelson will continue to be the team's starting point guard and Turkoglu won't start at power forward, at least not initially.

Still, Van Gundy noted that at least one member of the trio of Arenas, Richardson and Turkoglu will have to come off the bench.

At this point, Van Gundy said he's not concerned with the rotation.

But there are concerns with both deals for Orlando, which had lost five of its last six games entering Saturday.

The Magic are hoping that Turkoglu, 31, can regain the form that made him such an integral playmaker during Orlando's run to the 2009 NBA Finals. He struggled to fit in last season with the Toronto Raptors and underachieved this season with the Suns."
