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. You can also visit the original MagicMadness Forum at http://orlandomagic.proboards.com.
Special thanks to our Staff Members: Black and Blue, MAGICMANEVAN, and NYCMagicFan!

Yes, this is really good news to hear, something I wasn't expecting. I really hope they can work this all out not only for the sake of basketball, but for our sake, the state of the Magic. With the organization trying to renew interest in the team, a lockout (and the negativity that would come from one) would obviously hurt us. |

i too was very surprised to hear that they had mad progress in the labor talks. people just dont understand that yes, nba players make a ton of money but they also spend a ton of money. |

I still cant get over Spree complaining that he has "to feed his children", when he was being offered $10M/season. So you are right, most of us fans and casual fans cannot understand (or maybe the better work is "accept") that having a $10M annual paycheck is not enough - I wont even make a tiny fraction of that in my lifetime of slavery. It's just difficult to relate to guys who have like 20 cars (beemers, bentleys, ferraris, H2s) on their garage, lives an huge mansions, and still complaining that they are not paid enough.
