We had a long, enjoyable run, and I would like to thank every Orlando Magic fan who contributed to our small community on the web. This message board will be left online as an archive into the thoughts and minds of a group of Magic fanatics who lived through a 21-win season, the drafting of Dwight Howard, and an eventual NBA Finals appearance.

I think Stevenson is a very solid option for us. Especially when he comes off the bench w/ hedo. To bad Davis never realized this. What do you expect??? To have a all-star at every position???????

This is what i would do all in 1 off-season.First off.... i would win tonight 1st of all... and if the team that need to loose loose tongiht keep winnning. If the magic loose......i know this will sound strange....loose the rest of the games in the season to try to get a better draft pick. Then trade Francis, garrity, and Cato to somwhere. Get a good Sg as in a Ray Allen or somthing. Then move on from there. |

All-Star

Ray allen?I don't know about him,I doubt he considers the magic if they don't keep francis considering Hill's injury woes and Howard isn't putting up KG #'s everynight yet.It's pretty much up weisbrod when u're talking about who they're gonna bring in.Depends on cap room too.Some luck in the draft lottery would be good to. |

I say we keep francis and bring in a coach known for corraling troublesome players. We obviously dump christie. We give hill up to a contending team in need of veteran leadership. We hold onto howard obviously as well as nelson and turk. The majority of our free agency will revolve around a small forward, center, and our bench. |

I hope we can dump Christie. That will give us 8 million to sign a very good player. Also we should trade Garrity, that guy is a complete Stiff. I wish that basketball was more like football in regards to players contracts. Dump Cato too. I got it...Christie, Garrity, and Cato for Allen and Fortson |

Please, he is more then an "okay" shooting guard. You have to know talent when you see it. A guy who can score 20 points at any point, shoot the 3, take it hard to the basket and dish 3+ assists is just an okay shooting guard? You have pretty high standards. Anyway, got to keep Steve Francis. In fact, keep most of the team intact and just hire Saunders or Musselman, any coach who will get this team organized. Francis WILL take a step back for Dwight, anyone who says he wont is just hating. Hill also needs to take a step back, and let Dwight friggin explode. The team should have an inside game next season, and I believe Dwight should be the #1 option, because he has proven he can score and he gets us the easier shots (in the paint). They are going to draft Petro I believe, and with a real coach here, you can expect a system in place that probably wont allow layups. Petro and Dwight are very tall, athletic players with great shot blocking skills. You put a system in place and everything is organized, there wouldnt be many easy layups against this team. Ball movement will improve with a real coach. A lot of this depends on getting a real coach. I mean, we have a great team in my opinion, which is frustrating because all we need is a great coach and we are set here. Francis will average over 8 assists, book it. Hopefully that part of Hills game (passing) returns. We need more passing next season. The only things I would do are trade Christie and either Cato or Battie. Cato is the bigger and better player, he is just so friggin lazy. Stevenson is much better then Christie and Christie doesnt want to be here so we should trade him for something valuable. Perhaps PJ Brown to give Dwight a reliable backup. I hate doing this, but I have high expectations for next season, AS LONG as we get a real coach. |
