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!

The Sentinel is now reporting that the Magic have ended their discussions with Marc Cornstein, effectively eliminating any chance that Darko will play for the team next season.

The Magic will now focus on working out an extension for Jameer Nelson.

Unfortunate. I was hoping that things would turn around, but it looks lost. Maybe Otis will refocus efforts on other FA bigs for depth.

I'm also happy that we are looking into securing Jameer. I expect big improvement from him this year.

At this point in time we must resign both Ariza (wgi expect to opt out) and Nelson because we will be over the cap next season making it impossible to do so next year. If we don't resign both Ariza or Nelson and it looks like we will let go of Darko I think we will regret signing Lewis to such a big contracts.

Well, we'll see what happens from here. Things are getting hectic.

That would probably drive Otis over the edge and make him go on a killing spree.

Chill guys, 'twas just a joke, it seems to be the organization's luck. I have the feeling that letting Darko go is gonna turn around and bite the Magic on the a**.

While I like Shard, I don't think he's worth a max contract. small forwards are easier to find than good bigs.

Mikki Moore has signed with the Kings, so he's out.
P.J. Brown hasn't yet decided if he'll retire or play another season.

Yeah, I didn't think we'd get Moore anyway, he seemed pretty expensive.

It's looking more and more like Otis is content with Battie, Gortat, Augustine, and/or Kasun to fill the reserve big slots.

Joe Smith to the Bulls.
Jamaal Magloire to the Nets.

We're running out of options. :/

PJ would give us a great compliment to Dwight down low. Good rebounder, tough, and can give you 10 a night. I'm all for adding him if he'll play.

I watched Mikki Moore & I was impressed with his rebounding in NJ Nets in the 07 Playoffs I wish we had signed him but I believe he has an agreement with some team. & lost out on Maglorie,who next??
