Harrington recently spent three weeks rehabilitating his knee in Vail, Colorado. He's back with the team now and eager to return to the floor. The New Jersey native knows when he might return to the court, but declined to tell the media when that might be. "Just in case I don't reach that mark, I'd let myself down, let the fans down," Harrington said.

Looking forward to having him on the floor.

I wish they'd start putting drivetime on itunes... takes too long for them to add replays to the site.

Tonight on Magic Drive Time at 5:30pm on @740thegame, I will have GM Rob Hennigan as my guest. Tune in!!

Here is the link: http://www.iheart.com/live/601/?autoplay=true

Missed it as well. I don't like that show though. While I love most of the magic media, Dante and the new guy are on the Sean Elliot/Heinsohn homer level.

except for the fact that Bynum was too stupid to sign that extension before busting his knee bowling. and you know it was on his mind, given that he flew to Germany for a secret, non-invasive surgery.

If Dwight re-injures his back then we will be the ones laughing. Larry Johnson's career was derailed by pack problems.

Hennigan talked about how he's liked Nicholson's post game so far and he's looking forward to him progressing in the future by bulking up.

That's really all I could catch. He did talk about how JV is playing the young guys(playing time), but I was zoned out on that part.

It seems that Hennigan and JV are on the same page. A complete 180 from the SVG/Otis regime.

I dont think thats fair to say, just cause otis was a dumbazz doesnt mean they werent on the same page

MagicStarwipe · Post #1213 » by **MagicStarwipe** » Wed Nov 28, 2012 10:51 pm

From their own mouths numerous times they said they weren't on the same page.

SVG never wanted to trade Lewis for Arenas. That was very clear.

Trade Baby, Harrington, and McBob. Get draft picks. Resign JJ. Cut Ish and Ayon.

Draft a PG (Marcus Smart) and a big (Nerlens Noel)

Rotation next year:
Nelson/Smart/Moore
Afflalo/JJ/Jones
Harkless/Hedo
Vucevic/Nicholson
Noel/OQuinn

Or trade JJ, Harrington, and McBob, and hope we suck enough to get Shabazz. And use our other lotto pick on Marcus Smart

Nelson/Smart
Afflalo/Shabazz
Harkless/Hedo
Davis/Nicholson
Vucevic/O'Quinn

So according to this article http://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/2012/11/28/3705096/orlando-magic-glen-davis-arron-afflalo-san-antonio-spurs-game-2012 AA and baby arent happy about the winning mentality right now and AA even called out a player who had a towel on his head while on the bench. does anyone know who hes reffering too?
also Moe harkless tweeted this- Maurice Harkless ‏@moe_harkless
Quit looking around, take a look in the mirror
kind of weird timing for him to say this or maybe im just looking to far into the tweet

According to Schmitz, "Afflalo even brought up the fact that apparently one player had a towel over his face during the game." The UCLA product said, "We have to develop a winning mentality and winning habits."

I don't think you're looking too far into it. Though,I hope he is referring to BBD. Either way, I prefer him not taking this to twitter. I'm also happy with Afflalo speaking up on this particular topic. It's one of the reasons we got him on this team. I DO NOT want to end up like the Bobcats and Wizards!

I'm curious to see how JV approaches this..
