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.

Kruger will be gone by the end of the preseason. There is no need for him. We need all the big bodies we can get, so I don't see us cutting Outlaw. We need to make one more cut and it just makes sense that it's going to be Kruger. We have Jameer, Arroyo, and Dooling at the PG position. I see no need for a 4th option at PG. |

This game should be a win. The Heat are looking pretty bad and I'm sure SVG is going to want to kick the s**t out of his old team. |

I wish Miami plays Shaq in this game. It would be interesting to get a glimpse on how our big man rotation will play him. |

He played 16 minutes last night against Atlanta, so it's possible that he'll get some burn here. |

^^ You never know with Shaq. He will coast through games if he wants to. |

Kruger wont last, there is no way. Hes just there for the guards to practice with. Of course he will be gone by the regular season, there is no use for him, a big man is more needed. I think this game will be a win, this preseason heat team is banged up and underachieving. They just dont have the fire power like they used to. |

I think Shaq is officially no longer dominant. He barely plays anymore and he just doesn't have the strength that he used to have. I know people on ESPN and TNT always talk about Shaq still dominating, but let's be for real. I'm not disrespecting Shaq in anyway. He was a great center. He will go down as one of the best ever, but his time is slowly coming to an end. ESPN and TNT don't want to admit it out of respect for Shaq, but he is now an above average center in my eyes. Perhaps he will come up with a big season this year since he had plenty of rest during the off season, but I doubt it. |

I totally agree, hes on his way down and there is no denying it. Teams dont shudder like before when faced with the task of guarding him. He sure was great, but the Heat are just an average team now because hes just not the great force he once was. |

The Heat traded their future for a championship. In the long-run, the trade for Shaq was bad for the Heat. I don't know why so many people bashed the Lakers for trading him. If they didn't trade him, then they would run the risk of losing Kobe to free agency. If the Heat didn't win the championship 2 years ago, I think everyone would start to say how the Heat got beat on the deal with the Lakers. They could have had Odom, Butler, and Wade for many years to come. That's the same reason that I am not a real believer in the Celtics right now. They look very good and they have actually signed some free agents to go with the 3 stars they have now (Posey and House) who can actually contribute. But I don't understand why Marc Stein has been ripping Minnesota for the trade. I honestly think they made out pretty well. They get Jefferson and Green who can both be All-Stars in the future and they have a few first round picks now too. Garnett is 31 already. He is not as injury prone as Shaq, but the Celtics remind me of the Heat from a few years ago. I think they traded their future for a chance at a title for a few years. After those few years, if they don't win the title, I think some people will start to say that Minnesota got the better of the deal. Especially if Green and Jefferson turn into stars out west. |

I like Kruger a lot, but I agree that he likely won't make the final roster. We just have too many PGs. Honestly, if we wanted a niche guy like him, we would have kept Diener, IMO. |

R.I.P Torrell Martin. What was many people's top choice is now gone. Kruger needs to have the game of his life to stay on. Otherwise it's Outlaw's job. I would LOVE to see SVG kick the crap out of Riley, but even more so in the regular season
