As you now know, our former hero, who grew up with this franchise, is no longer a Orlando Magic.
This was announced with a several year, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with demanding trades of his "Indecision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.
Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.
The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Magic have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.
There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.
You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.
You have given so much and deserve so much more.
In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:
"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE ORLANDO MAGIC WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘SUPERMAN" WINS ONE"
You can take it to the bank.
If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Orlando, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.
Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.
Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.
This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "Prospect" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.
But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Orlando, Florida
The self-declared former "Superman" will be taking the "curse" with him out West. And until he does "right" by Orlando and Florida, Dwight Coward (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.
Just watch.
Sleep well, Orlando.
Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....
I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:
DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue....
Richard DeVos
Majority Owner
Orlando Magic
That has to be fake.
