Fran already has proved to us multiple times that if you are counting on him, you are going to be disappointed. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Plus, last I checked, Cornstein still is his American agent. He is dead to me unless I actually see him playing on the floor for Orlando. And even then, he is going to need to prove to me that he was worth all the grief his selection brought to the Magic.

Na, I think Fran will actually be here one year. I doubt his team even wants him. He's not playing much there for I recall and he's being payed alot. I would think his team would be happy with him leaving.

As far as Cornstien yeah he's his agent. But who cares..We hold Fran's future in the NBA not his agent. If Fran wants to come to NBA he is going to sign the rookie contract with Orlando. If not we have his rights and he and Cornstein can do nothing to get him in the League. Unless we trade the rights but hey we'll get something at least for it.

Vazquez was a major factor in Barcelona qualifying for the Euroleague quarter finals. It is good to see him perform in games that matter.

Barcelona Link


Vazquez might be inclined to move stateside simply because of how he is treated in Spain. He is not starting (Super Mario is!). He does not play in every game. He is given spot minutes.

As Fran's buyout wll finally be manageable, everything is falling int place to see Vazquez as an NBA baller.

The bench depth looks good with Fran.

Bench
PF: Battie, Gortat
C: Foyle, Vazquez

OK to me.

Beginning to look like it

Looking back at that draft, we were in a bad spot anyhow...

Draft Sean May and we would have had Grant Hill 2.0

Drafting Fran well...we see how that's going..

Return to Orlando Magic
