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.

Special thanks to our Staff Members: Black and Blue, MAGICMANEVAN, and NYCMagicFan!

Good move, an alternative to A.J. and definitely an upgrade over what we went into last year with which was Wilks who eventually got hurt. Also he's an upgrade over Lue at this stage of his career.

You know what, if we get Watson he could end up being the backup Point Guard. He's younger, shoots better and probably would get minutes over A.J. I love A.J and what he did for us last year, but Watson at this stage is probably the better option. |

aj shot the ball VERY well last season, so thats a big statement on watson...if ur right, its definetly an upgrade.... two things that bothered me about aj last season was his defense[even tho he did put a valiant effort] and some dumb a$$ mistakes he tends to make at critical points in the game. other than that he's good with me |

I am so glad we got Povtak still reporting for the Magic for fanhouse. The Sentinel is going to crap without him and others |

Rocks blocking shots on guys with dreadlocks

when i first heard this signing I thought it was pretty good but after hearing warrior fans opinions on other boards I'm not as sold now. He has good height but they said he gets bullied because he has a slight frame. I thought he was one of those super athletic young guys on the warriors but apparently he isnt too athletic and doesnt have great lateral quickness. Hopefully he isnt that bad on defense though. One of the great positives was that he is supposedly a really good shooter and has a nice looking stroke. I guess i need to see more of his game to get sold on this move but at worst I think he would be a nice 3rd PG |

Would be a solid signing. 25 mins a game and just 1 turnover/per. Good stuff. |

How could this be bad, he's our 3rd point guard? This is a good thing! |

Solid pickup, hopefully GSW doesn't match. |

I like this; would be glad if the Magic can sign him. That was something I was worrying about, us needing more depth at PG. |

If we sign him, he's our second string PG, IMO. He is defenitely better than AJ. |

He is restricted, so there is a chance Golden State will match. |

They're not going to match. They are too stacked at the PG position. |
