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!

This is from Swish14 aka Alex Kennedy, an inside reporter who can usually be found on the Orlando Magic's official message board:
Also, I mentioned in the Jason Williams signing thread that Otis might still be pursuing Watson, but I can't find the exact quote about it. If he gets bought out, what do you guys think about bringing back Battie? Foyle contributes absolutely nothing at this point, but Battie is still decent. |

Is Foyle still under contract? Battie will not be cut. What they need is Nate Robinson or a PF or SF if Mikael P. is to becoming off the Bench. |

Bringing back Battie would be the perfect finalization of the roster. |

Rocks blocking shots on guys with dreadlocks

we can sign some young D league player to do what battie does. which mostly last season was get rebounds ripped away from him and jack up a jumper everytime he touched the ball. sure he had a few good games here and there, but it doesn't make up for the non impact he had in all the others. He was a valuable piece before the injury but hes done now. |

im going to have to disagree....you want to fill out your roster with players that u can count in case someone cannot play for a night, week, month, year.... the reason battie dnp is because he was not needed, not because he didnt have the skills.... battie probably could start on a # of teams around the league....with a d-league player, a team would be happy that player could perform for a single much-less a month or so....my point is, dont take for granted a player of battie's caliper; he's quality player, as well as a perfessional player who brings it everytime his # is called...those players are hard to find |

It would be great if they can bring back Battie. I do think we need to move beetlejuice, for a younger, more athletic pg. |

The move is really for Dwight actually. Dwight & Battie are really good friends so that move would help and also because Battie is at least a veteran and is serviceable. |

Otis probably figures it'll be a pick deep into the 20s, and we save money not having another guaranteed guy on the roster. I'm a guy who values draft picks though and wouldn't do the deal. |
