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. You can also visit the original MagicMadness Forum at http://orlandomagic.proboards.com.
Special thanks to our Staff Members: Black and Blue, MAGICMANEVAN, and NYCMagicFan!

Drafting Marbury + Foyle = Championship. \o/

I'd go even further and say that if this is true then Otis is an fricking idiot and his "creative financing" was all bulls**t. To be on those numbers we'd have to renounce the rights to Fran, Diener and Darko. I've been giving him the benefit of the doubt until now, but this is gonna be the final straw. If this deal goes through this is what he'll have done in the past year and a half: Trade Cato and a 1st rounder for Arroyo and a rental of a year and a half of Darko. Lose a PF and a SF to the free agency and a 2nd rounder to Seattle so he could sign a SF who is a good scorer, a bad defender and a bad rebounder to a contract that will make him the best payed player on the East, above guys like LeBron, Wade, Pierce and.... Dwight Howard. Make this team hostage of the MLE for at least the next 5 years, because from next year on two players (Howard + Rashard) will be making 40+ millions alone. I've criticised Otis for not making a single move last year in the trade deadline and people criticised me for jumping on the gun too soon. I've criticised Otis for being a dumbass when the Donovan fiasco occured, I forgave him when he signed SVG a week later but people criticised me because "Otis dealt with it the right way". If this S&T goes through, I'm sorry, but Otis is a freaking IDIOT and the Magic just got themselves burried in mediocrity for the next half decade. |

ESPN has these values: 1: $16.68 million 2: $18.43 million 3: $20.37 million 4: $22.51 million 5: $24.87 million 6: $27.48 million T: $130.34 million AHAHAHAH, I can't believe it. Rashard is worth only half of it. Kobe and Duncan aren't even making that kind of money. Otis is just about to ruin the franchise for the next 6 years. |

Nothing has been set in stone yet. I have my doubts that this is the entirety of the trade. |

A second-round draft pick for an overpaid small forward. :| |

There's just one problem with that. You can't physically do that. Sure, we see small time players get traded for second round picks, but this is completely different. If the Sonics refuse to take any of the Magic's contracts then they can't have a Sign and Trade. Craig |

I didn't think you could either, but who knows. This keeps getting curiouser and curiouser with each passing day.

According to a source with knowledge of the negotiations, the Magic will pay Lewis, 27, a maximum contract over the next six years worth $126.4 million. :| I wanted Lewis, but be better live up to this contract!! |

lol, we better not say anything until the deal is signed. Reports are coming from all the places and they are all different. |

Been reading on other boards (mind you, they aren't necessarily credible, but just for fun) that the Sonics will get a Trade Exception that will put plenty of $$$$ in their wallet. Meanwhile, I'm still thoroughly confused. |

I really hope this is dead instead of doing a trade at this point. It sounds like it would only hurt us to toss things the Sonics' way right now. |

Press conference is scheduled to 1pm (Orlando Time Zone). It'll be 7pm here, right before dinner. I'm hoping I won't have the appetite ruined by hearing the numbers involved. |

What the f**k is going on? Rashard Lewis is not even close to worth that kind of money. |
