slow day today....Was never that High on Battier to be honest...didn't really fill a need to me....If it was Battier from a few years ago then i would of been a tad disappointed...But today's Battier to me is a slightly better Matt Barnes

Ain't that the sad truth. No teams are willing to cut the Magic a deal. Good Free Agents avoid the Magic like the plague.

If Dwight came out and said he wanted to stay and helped recruit players, the Magic wouldn't be in such a bad situation.

I think players always wanted to play here but our idiot GM was stuck in his ways; now we're paying for it severely with marginal players on bad contracts.

He was on Dwight's "wish list" last offseason. Also, Chicago is obviously in the hunt for scorer/slasher shooting guard (J-Rich/J. Crawford). They get out of Boozer's bad deal and we try to make Dwight happy. I'd like Brewer to be involved as well to even pull the trigger.

As badly as people are down on Boozer nowadays, I would almost consider him as an improvement over Bass/Anderson. The one thing I like about Boozer is that he plays with fire even though he does have some deficiencies.

Chicago might have to sweeten the deal though.

oh my! I just looked at Boozer's contract. WTF was Chi thinking?

So if this Grant Hill to NY thing happens, do you all think Nash will request a trade? Longshot hope for the Magic maybe?

They were trying to entice Lebron last offseason.

Can someone make a list of former-Warrior Free Agents?

Or never mind, I'll just send Otis an e-mail, I'm sure he has that list
