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 really like this trade I think with darko, dwight, arroyo and other of our younger players we are a young team with lots of cap room next year and also we should be getting a good draft pick. But I know that our front office has screwed things up in the past like when trading tmac they couldve gotten a lot more from the pacers. But this was a good couple of moves hopefully we can keep it up and draft jj redick |

We can only look forward, atleast Francis is gone. That's one problem out of the way. |

Whats the obssesion with JJ redick? He wont play the sg spot. He's not big or athletic enough to compete at the 2, he'll turn out to be a good pg. Why doesn't anyone understand that we need perimeter defense. Everyone wants scorers. it wont matter how many 3's he jacks up, if we can't keep the other team from scoring. |

I hated this trade at first, but man do I love it now. Looking toward the future is always better than looking right now, especially with a cap protected pick! THANKS OTIS!

beautiful trade. The best move we have made since Dwight. I can't believe that this has even come through. Great move Otis! I really can't believe how good this will be for us. Now Dwight knows we are committed to building around him. Brilliant move, thank god Crawford isn't here. I think Ariza will like orlando also. go magic! |

I didnt really like jj at first but then I was sold on him after I watched him play a little. I like morrison a lot probably my favorite player from this draft class but so far it doesnt look like we are going to get a top 5 pick but i would hope we get him |

I'm a lot less sold on Reddick that I was in the past. I feel like we'll end up with a top 5 pick now, so I think we can get somebody much better. Plus, I don't like the fact that Reddick is a 6'4" shooting guard... |

^^^I'm with you. I like Morrison better than Redick. I think he's an outstanding talent and great story, but I just don't know if he quite fits in our system. Like Hill2Howard said, I think we should focus on players that can stop other teams from scoring and if Dwight is going to move to center, we need some forwards. I like that guy with the long puffy hair from Florida, Joakim Noah. He's a great defender and can play the PF and C positions. Only thing is he's a sophomore and I don't know if he's planning on making to NBA jump yet, but he may. |

i don't think that's a great idea. Howard at C will give him better rebounding position and he'll be able to do what he does best: rebound and dunk. Milicic is more of a front to the basket player and I think will be better suited at PF where he can take more jumpers. Kinda like with Amare and Marion at Pheonix. |

and the wallaces in detroit. yeah well i saw rumors the the only reason they got francis, was to trade him and other players for KG. my thoughts exactly. thats how the pistons do it, and they won championships. so its fine, dont worry. |

NbaDraft.net has us picking redick 5th, Of course thats just a prediction.
In regards to Benjamins comment, Darko MAY be an inch taller than Dwight but he's certianly not as strong as dwight, and like Sam said, his game is perimeter oriented putting him out of position for offensive rebounds. I think running darko at the 4 gives dwight more room to work b/c opposing PF's have to resepct his midrange game. and if they do double, Dwight can hit him off with a pass and hopefully an easy 2. At the most a guard would have to come down and double Dwight. |
