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!

Wow. Strong words by Jameer. Saying he is prepared to leave is probably just a tactic to get more money from Otis. The article also says the Magic offered Jameer 30 mil over the next 5 seasons and hes deciding whether or not to accept. He wanted 45 mil over the next 5. "I’m a legit 6-1." ?? Hes not even 6-1 ![]() ----- http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_ma...-nelson-ta.html

Like I wrote earlier today, the offer confuses me. The money indicates the Magic aren't sold on Nelson's abilities, yet the length indicates that they are. It's contradictory. I like Jameer and I hope he accepts the offer. He's a team leader and a good young talent and I'd hate for him to leave. I just wish the team made him an offer with fewer years and a higher average salary. |

Jameer is 5'11" in shoes (6-foot if he wears more extra foot padding).

Players usually play through the roof in contract years. While it would be reassuring to lock him up, if we fail to meet his demands at least we will have a guard playing with the fire of money signs in his eyes for a season. |

I say wait it out. I'm not completely sold on Nelson as our starting PG of the future. |

Either way, if we keep him for a few more seasons or let him go. I think the 1st player drafted or signed should be a PG. There are just too many question marks with that spot, and thats the most important spot that you must be sure about. |
