There are better vacation spots than Disney if you don't have kids. Although I live in Orlando so I guess I cant really speak for people who aren't around Disney all the time

I feel like because we live in Orlando, we take for granted how folks outside Florida perceive Disney. I'm always impressed by how many people outside Florida come to Orlando solely to visit the theme parks. Spent a lot of time traveling this winter and every flight back to OIA was filled with families traveling just to go to one of the theme parks. My super-unofficial stat is that if someone is traveling to Orlando, there's a 70% chance it's to visit a theme park.

Feels like the kind of day where something significant happens.

When I lived out of state, and would fly home to visit family, i would see the same thing; so many excited families, saving for years!, enroute to Orl just to spend a week visiting all the theme parks. Made me put all the annual school field trips to Epcot or Animal Kingdom, or hook-up passes to Sea World, Universal, Disney, into perspective.

My guess is he had to or chose to fly through Orlando to get to/from some islands off the coast. Lots of NBA players fly south to relax on a beach and enjoy warm weather during all star weekend... it's like their spring break. Maybe he made the theme parks part of his return trip or something?

That being said, I'm always down to hype rumors based on theme park visits... :lol:

That feels fairly legit. We're inching closer and closer to Brandon Knight as the deadline nears.

Rose to the Wolves.
Melo to the Celtics.

The Zingis era is beginning.

The silver lining is I think it should help our tank? Throw Jeff Green and Brandon Knight out there for 35 minutes a game and start counting ping pong balls.

I keep going back and forth on Green. He helps the tank so much but he makes the team much more unwatchable. I think I'd prefer we trade him for a rotting potato and watch more of our young guys.

I heard that he had a house over here in Orlando.

I am in for Reggie Jackson. Guy has a major chip on his shoulder...something I wish our team embodied. With him and Ross, Fournier can go back to doing what he's best at.

I am not that keen on Reggie Jackson. Maybe it is the injury. But I think that we should be giving away major assets for a guy with a gimpy wheel. I don't see Detroit giving him away for peanuts. For that reason I rather the Magic go for Knight than Jackson.

Bulls telling teams they aren't trading Butler now... I guess Boston gets to draft their likely #1 pick.

Wonder how much that tiny return for Boogie will alter the market.

Consolidators have probably been low balling the **** out of the Bulls and Pacers ever since.

if its between those 2, problems and all, definitely sign me up for Jackson. Knight is a volume shooter on bad percentages.

To be honest, Reggie does have a knack for game winning shots and taking close games over at the end of the 4th and wins most of them. It is the other 3 quarters you have to worry about.
