NOTE FROM THE FORUM OWNER:

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!

Drafting Marbury + Foyle = Championship. \o/
Ahah, and you'll probably see the first game of Arroyo getting at least 15 minutes ;)

And why not drea of having 15-20 mopg for Darko.. but it's highly doubtfull...

Thank god we didn't get Crawford, at least...

Though I'm not really sold on Ariza yet, either.

Yeah. I don't like Crawford too. We needed to move Francis, I guess this was the best we can get for him.

Obviously Penny can't play, so is he going in the sidelines with BHill? Hmmn.. the drama. :lol:

It appears as if Francis will wear number 8.

Man that pic looks really weird. Francis hasn't been here that long, but it seems like an eternity.

This season
1. Pull the trigger on the Darko and Arroyo trade for Kelvin Cato and a protected draft pick. It's rumored that the pick is protected from the first seven picks, which is good, the draft this year is not deep at all.

Incoming: Darko Milicic and Carlos Arroyo
Outgoing: Kelvin Cato

2. Trade off Steve Francis to New York in exchange for Penny Hardaway and Trevor Ariza.
Pure salary dump. With this, you have an expiring contract with Penny Hardaway (15mil!!!) after this season and you also get a good talent to develop in Ariza. He'll work under Grant Hill for a year and could develop into a great defensive stopper.

Incoming: Penny Hardaway and Trevor Ariza
Outgoing: Steve Francis

2005/2006 roster --- salary approx. $69,094,000
PG - J. Nelson, C. Arroyo, T. Deiner
SG - D. Stevenson, K. Dooling
SF - H. Turkoglu, T. Ariza, G. Hill
PF - D. Howard, P. Garrity, B. Outlaw
C - D. Milicic, T. Battie

Draft - Depends if Magic get a top 7 pick or not. I'm going to assume, the pick is going to Detriot.

This roster will not get you into the playoffs, but it does provide experience for the younger players. Besides, what would a playoff spot offer? A first round exit and a medicore draft pick.

I wrote this over a week before this trade went down. And before the Darko trade went through as well. So far, "if I was GM for a day" I'd be making Otis' salary.
