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.

AND here is news about Crawford getting told to pack his bags by Isiah:
It's a foregone conclusion that this trade is done. It appears the Knicks are already looking at other trades with Portland and the Nuggets are focusing on a deal with the Sonics for Watson. BYE BYE FRANCIS! |

I'm not really sold on this deal. We're basically getting rid of Francis for a worse player in Crawford, along with Mo Taylor, who's pretty much a waste of space. At least Azira might turn out good... WHY THE HELL DOES THIS ORGANIZATION WANT JAMAL CRAWFORD SO BADLY?!?! |

I think they just want a replacement starter for Francis and he unfortunately is the best available in the trade market right now. I remember Crawdaddy being pretty good when he was with the Bulls. I actually think he had a 50 point game. A change of scenery could benefit him, you never know. |

Further cementing Francis' New York fate: From the Rocky Mountain News:
I honestly hope we get Ariza. Could be a good player for us. |

if we get Jamal Crawford, we should start him at SG, not PG. Carlos Arroyo showed us last night that he deserves a shot at the 1. Starting Crawford there won't change anything and Howard won't get the ball. Since Crawford is a three-point threat, he can spread the floor on offense, making it easier for Arroyo to distribute the ball, but he's gonna have to step it up defensively. The downside: Since we lost Turk last night and most likely will ship out Pat Garrity with Francis, we're gonna lose all of our shooters, except for Diener and possibly Jameer, who's injured as well. |

Hey Benjams, if you switch positions and put Arroyo as PG and Crawford as SG ill agree with you. |

we should have Arroyo starting at PG being backed up by Dooling and Crawford at SG being backed up by Stevenson. |

That lineup actually doesnt sound half bad. With Nelson coming back, we would have a very well rounded team. SF is still our weak spot, but maybe darko can play a very tall SF? |

Why don't we sign Sprewell to a 10-day contract to play SF while we wait for Turk to come back? It's just an idea that came to my mind, but I don't think the Magic would lose out on giving it a try. Of course not many people want the baggage Sprewell carries with him, but that's why we shouldn't get him long term. Just enough to fill in the position and, who knows, it might even help us win some games. |

I don't think Spreewell would be an option. Apparently he wants to play for a contender, and also he wants a sizable contract. |
