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.

I say Augustine as well. I'll sure miss Bo, though. |

No way Kruger will make it. Auggie has better potential (of course), and is better player anyways. But it will suck to say bye to Bo. Maybe he can get a front office job and hang around. |

I am with you guys. As much as I love Bo's energy, we need to look towards the future. I say keep Augustine. |

Man, I sure love it when the arena is super quiet and you see Bo stand up and take off his warmups in the fourth quarter and all of a sudden the arena comes back to life. I hope Bo never leaves Orlando even if he is not in a game uniform. |

Need both Augustine and Bo in my eyes since we're short on big man depth. Worse comes to worse, Bo is inactive and is more like an assistant coach. Augustine has done well this preseason (better than Bo) and should get the spot if we are still pursuing just a 14-man roster). I think is also means that C-Webb might be back in the picture.

You know what, I think I'd go with Bo. We already have one young, inexperienced big man in Gortat, so we might be better off with an experienced, well-respected vet in Outlaw. |

I dont think thats the best choice. Bo has alot of milege on him, nothing against him but i think the best way to go is the future like everyone talks about. Not that Auggie is the future of our team or anything, but he has more potential and a better all around game than Bo. In the summer league and in the preseason, Augustine has had some good games and shown some potential. But, thats just me. |

I would go Auggie. He has shown flashes of promise, and Bo's age makes him an injury risk. If we do keep Augustine though (which I am guessing they will do) we need to figure out if the guy is actually good for anything or just a career backup. |

I go with BO for the following reasons: 1. We need a veteran big man that is well respected in the league especially with Refs. 2. The player in the final spot probably will only play in emergency minutes or blowouts. 3. We can count on him to give the Big Men some breathers or hold down the fort if the Big Men is in foul trouble or injured. Auggie first have to developed then prove himself to the refs. For example, if Bo is guarding Bosh, Garnett or the Oneals, the refs probably will not blow their whistles to quickly. If Auggie is guarding them, he probably will foul out in 2 or 3 minutes. |

First of all its not the final spot. Otis wants to keep 14 players not 15 so there is more flexibility with trades and signings. Augustine can do the exact same thing here as Bo, and in my mind he does it better than Bo. Bo or Auggie wont guard Bosh, Garnett or Oneal. They wont even play most games. They would be for garbage minutes, emergencies, or spot minutes. |

I actually could see SVG going 14 or 15 deep with the type of uptempo offense that we run. There's going to be alot of guys needing to rest. I'm on the fence, I like Bo's hustle and how he makes the crowd electric. But at his age im not sure how much hustle he has left. I think Auggie is more versitile on the offensive end obviously. I dont know, I may be leaning towards Auggie. Plus I dont consider Bo a "big Man" in the true sense. He's more of a combo forward. |
