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!

http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives...hnson_for_camp/ From Wikipedia: Almond played sparingly in his rookie season with the Jazz, averaging just 4.3 minutes in 9 games. His career high is currently 12 points, at Sacramento on December 2, 2008. He scored his first NBA points on January 8 2008 against the Indiana Pacers, with 2 points on 1-of-5 shooting. However, he spent considerable time with the team's D-League affiliate, the Utah Flash, to whom he was assigned.[2] He led the D-League in scoring during the season, averaging 25.6 points per game.[3] In just his fifth game with the team on December 21, 2007, he tied a league record with 51 points in a 118–116 victory over the Austin Toros.[4] Later in the season, he broke the record with a 53-point performance against the Bakersfield Jam in a 102–87 win.[5] On September 18, 2009, Morris Almond signed with the Orlando Magic. ------------------------------------ Any thoughts on this guy? Sure, he did all this scoring in the D-League, but I'm still at the very least intrigued. Maybe he'll take over Jeremy Richardson's spot on the roster or something... |

All those points in the D-League and no NBA team was biting? Sounds odd if he is that good but I'd still take him over Jeremy Richardson or another bench warmer. He's at least worth a shot. |

Yeah, Knicks fans seemed high on him (he was on their Summer League roster just before us). But, the Knicks just recently let him go, so if he can't even hang on with them, that might tell you something... Here are what some Jazz fans are saying (the last NBA team he played for): http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=944153

I find it to be more intriguing that his all star performance is that good for a backup. |
