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.

Special thanks to our Staff Members: Black and Blue, MAGICMANEVAN, and NYCMagicFan!

out of all the opinions on the trade, ive only heard "good job magic" or "finally the magic pulled of a great trade" so thats good news. we are the team thats the farthest under the cap in 07 so thats great. |

I wonder how long Larry Brown can stay alive in NY?

Pippen has turned out to be a pretty astute analyst. I dont take his words with a grain of salt. |

Every person with half a brain will praise us. The knicks are just stupid to do this trade, and the Magic are lucky the knicks are in this league. Francis value was pretty much nothing and the Magic set up the future nicely. Cap space does a lot more then just being able to sign a free agent. |

I'm feeling good about what people are saying, but deep inside, I really feel like even though we're not gonna make it to the playoffs this season, we'll win more games than people think. I have this feeling that we're gonna go on a decent streak at the end of the season and continue to ride that wave into next season. Don't look for any major deals this offseason unless it is a Grant Hill trade. on a side note: I've heard several times that LeBron is not 100% happy in Cleveland and there's a big chance he will keep his options open for Free Agency in '07. Now, I know this is 100% wishful thinking, but playing alongside Dwight Howard and Jameer Nelson and perhaps a really good Darko Milicic may be a great selling point for us to land him, not to mention the Florida weather and lack of state tax...especially for someone who might sign the biggest contract in the history of the NBA. just imagine: PG - Jameer Nelson/Carlos Arroyo/Travis Diener SG - Keyon Dooling/Deshawn Stevenson SF - LeBron James/Hedo Turkoglu/Trevor Ariza PF - Darko Milicic/? C - Dwight Howard/Tony Battie/Mario Kasun like I said, this is 100% wishful thinking, but it's ok to dream every once in a while. |

^^I think we should stop dreaming of getting LBJ, the Cavs will never let him go anywhere. But summer of 07 will be a crucial time for the Magic. I just hope that the addition of Darko and Arroyo will keep the hope of the fans until that time. We already have some idea on Arroyo since he has played the last couple of games and he seems like a fit to the team. Darko is another story. |

Why not LBJ? I think thats a fair enough dream. I agree, the Cavs will do anything in their power to keep him, but it ultimately comes down to him. If he wants to move, then he'll do it. Same with Melo, Wade, and Bosh. Theres always a chance.

but on a serious note this year I would look at: Jiri Welsch, Tim Thomas, Nazr Mohammed, Frank Williams, Robert Traylor, Ruben Patterson some players that I think would be nice additions to our team if they didnt resign |
