Well, I would if it wasn't locked.

I'm so tired of waiting for ANY decision. It's dragging so long...

Lindsey is a girl's name and Bower's manly mustache is a god among mustaches. Thus, Bower for GM. #magiclogic

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA

Spurs exec Dennis Lindsey and ex-Hornets GM Jeff Bower are 2 of 3 finalists to be Orlando GM, sources tell Y! They'll meet with owners soon.

Just heard on the Sports RX report w/ Shot Doctor in Orlando, that the magic will have an announcement by Friday on the GM. Sorry I don't have a link as I heard it on the radio but I can only hope he is right that we hear something by then. This has gone on WAY too long in my opinion. There were no names mentioned but he said that he talked with someone in the organization and they old him the announcement by end of day Friday.

This brilliant gem from Kyler:
@stevekylerNBA: RT @kennethmacleod: -- I think Lindsey wants the Magic job, that was something I doubted early on... he is the best candidate left standing

No sh*t Sherlock, if he didn't want the job, he wouldn't have interviewed or he would've withdrew his name like Walsh or Pritchard.

I'm not sure if there are legit sources saying Friday but nonetheless, I think that's the absolute latest this has to get announced simply because one of the coaches alleged to be on our list could be hired by another club as soon as Friday. I think Charlotte is rolling with Sloan, but never know what coach the new Magic GM has their eye on, could be Sloan, Shaw, Nate, or someone else. I don't think it'll take long at all to get a coach, as I'm sure the coaches have been presented already to the organization by the prospective GMs.
