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!

Hmmm....I don't know. We're pretty desperate, so I guess I could see it happening. The thing is, I really want to know more about what shape he really is in before committing to this move. He's right though, he'd bring some toughness to our squad. Plus, with our history of signing older, past-their prime big men, I could see us doing it...but that doesn't necessarily mean we should. |

This would be like another Patrick Ewing or Shawn Kemp signing. |

Drafting Marbury + Foyle = Championship. \o/

I think it would be worse than those. 43 years old? What the deuce? We already have Garrity to hold the gatorades. |

Didn't he say elsewhere that he wanted $10 million a year? I wouldn't mind having him around, but he's not worth 1/10th of what he's asking if that's indeed the case. |

Yeah, I read about him wanting 10mil/year. That's crazy. Anyways we just signed Foyle, so I doubt Oakley's on our radar right now. |

Oakley was on Pardon the Interruption yesterday. He still believes "28-30" teams could use his services this season. He's not going to play for the vet minimum. I doubt any team is going to be calling his agent with much interest, to be honest. |

I saw that. Even he seemed to have hesitation when overstating how many teams could use him. He didn't even bring up Orlando, so sounds like those rumors are good and dead. |
