On ESPN Radio they just reported that ESPN writer Chris Sheridan just said that THE NY-ORLANDO DEAL IS DONE. IT'S OFFICIAL

Stevie to the Knicks for Penny and Trevor Ariza.


I LOVE THIS DEAL CONSIDERING WE WOULD'VE GOTTEN SH*T LIKE CRAWFORD AND TAYLOR. :lol:

Great move for the salary cap (that we don't necessary need to use this summer). :yes:

Ariza is a raw player who will love this team.

Francis Trade Completed

ESPN.com has learned that Steve Francis is headed to New York under a deal agreed to Wednesday by the Knicks and the Orlando Magic .

The teams agreed to a trade of Francis for Penny Hardaway and Trevor Ariza, two league sources with knowledge of the deal told ESPN.com.

The trade was expected to be announced later Wednesday afternoon after being called in to the league office.

In New York, Francis will be paired with Stephon Marbury as the highest-paid backcourt duo in the NBA.

WOW, just WOW!! It's easy to see the Magic are going to TRY to mirror the Suns style of play now.. I think this is good for the Magic if they are trying to go that way, but horrible for the Knicks with the backcourt they have now..

oh no! hes got a new BF! :lol:

btw, i HATE THIS DEAL!

ariza: 4.6 ppg
hardaway: 2.5

for francis: 16.2 ppg

were going to be like the blazers! struggling to score. this sucks bad. i wonder if they will play tonight. were playing in NJ so maybe they can join us since its close. but theres the help at SF that weve needed for a LOOONNNG time.

so our SL is now (counting injuries):

C- Battie
PF- Howard
SF- Ariza
SG- Stevenson
PG- Arroyo

Frustrated, sad, disapointed, upset

Pretty much sums up this deal. Hopefully there will be an ORLANDO Magic in 2007.

what are you guys talking about? this is a good deal. we are going to have a lot of cap room after next season. we can sign a solid player next year with our cap room. possibly rashard lewis. im glad we didnt go for a quick fix and take crawford. i like this deal. remember when the suns traded marbury to the knicks for basically nothing and everyone was saying how the knicks got a great deal and then the suns signed steve nash and were the best team in the league last year (record wise). im glad that our gms are starting to think long-term instead of trying to get to the playoffs just to get our asses kicked.

Good point magiclive, but is somebody like Rashard Lewis going to be worth the trouble?
