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.

Magic returns to Philly

For the second consecutive summer, Jameer Nelson invited all his Orlando Magic teammates to Philadelphia for a weeklong bonding session - at his expense. And every member of the team, except those involved with the Tournament of the Americas in Las Vegas took Nelson up on his offer.

"This improves the relationship that you have with your guys," Nelson said.

His Magic teammates in town included Rashard Lewis, Orlando's big free agent prize from Seattle. Nelson especially wanted Lewis there.

"It's important for Rashard to come in hitting the ground running," Nelson said. "He's our superstar. It's good that he's here with the guys. Obviously, I am doing this to help us win."

Lewis had heard about what Nelson and the Magic did last year.

"When he called me and told me they were going to be doing it again this year, there was no hesitation on my part," Lewis said. "I figured it was a chance to get to know all these guys on a personal level before we go to training camp."

Just hope this pay dividends this year. Brian Hill killed the momentum last year.

Great to hear they are fraternizing before the season starts. It culminated in a strong start last year, so hopefully we get more of the same. Our early season schedule is a b**ch.

It is a very good thing for Reshard Lewis to get to know his new teammates minus Dwight Howard because of The Americas Tourney but I'm sure they will get along very well. :D

Well, while the Magic are all becoming buddies in Philly, Dwight Howard is becoming one of the greats in Las Vegas. He is becoming a man before our very eyes.
