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.

Jonathan (Richmond, Ind.): Why trade for Darko Milicic and not play him? I know its only been two games, but a DNP and, what was it, three minutes? I first thought maybe they wanted to work him in and such, but Carlos Arroyo is getting burn already. What's going on?

Chad Ford: I don't get it either. They gave up a lottery pick for him and they have roughly a season and a half to see if he can play. This is the problem with some NBA coaches. They can't see anything but the present. Brian Hill's job security would be so much higher if he finds away to develop Darko into a legit player. Instead, even though the chances of the Magic making the playoffs this year are slim to none, he plays all veterans trying to eke out wins against the Cavs and Nets. The team loses both games, Darko doesn't play. What have they gained? I know the GMs in Orlando aren't happy. It's tough to tell a coach what to do, but I have a feeling that talk is coming.

at least give darko sometime to showcase his skills! we arent going to the playoffs so just give him a chance. :@

^^^I think the reasons are stupid, We don't know what's going on behind the scenes. This guy could indeed suck. and Chad Ford is just trying to start crap so the media has something to gossip about.

in my opinion the little minutes he did get in the first game against cleveland, darko looked lost out there, I bet he does suck. not very fluid at all.
