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.

Per Yahoo! Sports
They're calling him a playmaker....maybe like a Ginobili clone? Perhaps this guy might be the answer to replacing Grant Hill....I want him signed, only so I can call him "Loco en las" Cabezas!

Ok so hes a 6 foot 1 PG. He has alot of experience and could make an impact right away. EDIT: But from everything i have seen on the 'net, it seems like he is not a big scorer by any means. |

Not too jump to conclusions, but I would have to believe that if we are going after a point guard, then the sign and trade with Seattle must be more of a sure bet. With 3 and a half point guards on our team right now, we definetly wouldn't need another unless Arroyo and Dooling are on their way out of town. I know absolutely nothing about this guy, but I wouldn't be opposed to him coming over. ![]() ![]() ![]() I must admit, he doesn't quite look like your typical NBA point guard. |

I don't know any Spanish, but from what I can make out, he played 19 minutes a game, scored 7.9 pts, and averaged 1.8 assists. He shot 48% from behind the arc, but only attempted 2 a game. Stats If one of you Spanish speaking guys could double check and make sure I'm looking at the right things, I'd much appreciate it. |

Yeah, but isn't the game played a bit differently overseas? Usually the hot prospects don't have staggering numbers. |

Seems like some cheap depth to our roster. He is a short guy, but has a good pedigree in Europe as a playmaker. I love Doogie, but with the team seeming to fall out of love with him I say we give Cabeza a shot. |

Yeah, i have learned from many times thinking that European stats mean much. They dont. The game is totally different and its more of a team game than over here where teams are focused on one main player. Dont focus on his stats much, look more at the way he plays the game and his potential. Not that i know much about this guy either way but im just saying. |

Drafting Marbury + Foyle = Championship. \o/
|
I've seen some games of Unicaja and Carlos is a solid guy... but nothing more IMO. He's a good defender for sure (almost every european PG is), but not a scorer (he even kind of struggles from the FT line...) and I don't even consider him a superb passer. I'm not sure he could really be a solid guy in the NBA right now :\ |

I've watched some games from Cabezas and he's more a defensive PG. He isnt a great shooter neither a great passer. He'll bring some depth to our roster, and this sign means that Diener or Carlos or both arent in our plans... |

Hard to say now with Darko out of the picture...maybe the possible S&T will free up space to get Chucky Atkins....we'll see. |
