Hearing there may be major Magic news coming up today. Working on details.

Strap on!

(When Dwight to Brooklyn was "all but done", this Mejia guy adamantly denied it....so maybe he has a source???)

I've been refreshing my Twitter feed every second for the past 10 minutes.

I wanna know what this guy is hearing!

Well, he never really breaks news.....

Which is why i'm intrigued.

He's not an attention whore like the hoopsworld guys who drum up interest in their site by posting fake rumors.

I'd label him as reliable.

Agreed. He did a very good job covering the Dwight saga.

Not sure breaking, but at least he's not totally out of left field like some guys, he also doesn't just requote a bunch of journalist reports.

This. I'm getting excited!

Actually, this is how I feel.

I asked Josh Robbins if anything was cooking.

Josh Robbins ‏@JoshuaBRobbins
@mcpoppycock Not at the present time. All Magic players were at shootaround today (except injured Glen Davis).

I suppose we must remember that "major Magic news" does not necessarily mean a trade.

Al Harrington is playing?

Meanwhile Bynum is bored sitting on the bench in an ugly suit while growing some hideous hair......

When do we get the Philly draft pick?

We should probably wait another season or two for our young guys to develop and for Bynum to get healthier.

IF Bynum ever suits up for Philly, it's not a bad deal for them. Lets not act like Vuc or Hark will ever have the upside that Bynum does.

Hmm.... nice guess, will be interesting if true. give him some run before being off for a few days to see how it feels? oh and right before the all star break when all the gms will be talking..
I'm going to give you an "and 1"

I won't be disappointed if the "big news" is that Redick is replacing someone in the 3 point contest.

Also, he could be talking about this guy

Based on what I can piece together, it is not a trade, but involves someone who would be someone Magic would be looking to move. Stay tuned.

Al Harrington news for sure.

He's either playing, is done for the season, or is retiring.

I'm hearing it's that Turkoglu is out for the rest of the season with nasal congestion.

Makes sense. I have been surprised they've been unable to get him on the court sooner, after the 41st game when he went on insurance.

Rick Rolled · Post #1097 » by **Rick Rolled** » Wed Feb 13, 2013 7:39 pm

Well, i'm bummed that it isn't a trade.......

But, gotta be patient, I suppose.

“@TonyMejiaNBA: Based on what I can piece together, it is not a trade, but involves someone who would be someone Magic would be looking to move. Stay tuned.”

Maybe an injury update??

Edit: should have looked before posting. Seeing other people posted this same thing

I'm sure they're feeling pressure to get Al on the court tonight so teams can at least see something. Not sure how many people would trade for him after seeing just one game, perhaps we run all offense through him tonight?

His first game in a Magic Uniform and he breaks Tracy's club scoring record
