Legend. That TV clip I had of Shaq abusing him downlow while Tmac looked helpless cemented my Magic fanhood

[p0peye]

We have a bunch of young players on our roster right now, so all we have to do is develop them and wait and see what we have. By end of this season it will be clear if a potential superstar hides in that group, and if it does, we can be optimistic about the future.

No lie... when I saw Pat Burke I really thought we had someone that can contain or at least bang with Shaq downlow...

Wow! Also Pat Burke.

Who's definitely missing on that list is Joe Amaechi.
I guess the last thing I read of him is that he came out of the closet and announced he was gay...

Was Doleac not in the lineup already? OR did he get his doctor license by then?

[Horcy]

Yeah, I believe Doleac was already there.
Who other had nightmares with Steven Hunter?!? OMFG, what a bust.
I still can't believe we actually did a good draft this year. I must be dreaming (or dead)

Stone-hands Hunter? NGL he was the first ever NBA player I heard being described as that.

[ORLMagicGirl15]

My emotions are all over the place with this team. I want us to win the championship while deep down believing that we’re bound for the lottery again. I cannot take more tanking talks. I just want a really good year. Tired of this team being out of the race by December. I want to be optimistic, but these last few years has been dragging on me.

The list is missing Reece Gaines. How many busts we drafted in those years

Gooden, why noone told Gabriel not to trade with Jerry **** West ?

Can you believe that man played 8 years in the league? Just goes to show how rare it is to be 7 feet tall.

On topic, Optimistic. I think JI and multiple of our guards have the potential to be all-stars. We've done a rebuild and cleaned out minute robbing vets for the most part (GHarris and TRoss are likely gone eventually), brought in a guy who isn't going to push to win now over development like a Clifford or Skiles would do. It will be a tough year wins wise as these young guys learn the league, but it should be fun to watch!

TBF, the man wasn't only 7ft. He was athletic and could hammer down a dunk with authority.

He just made Tmac lose his hair when every pass to him was a TO lol

[TheChaser]

Bright future compared to 6 months ago. I’m optimistic. Cautiously though. Summer league should be cool
