Is it possible we made a trade that won't be announced until tomorrow?

Drafting Courtney Lee when every mock board had us drafting CDR.

Somehow convincing Isiah Thomas to take Steve Francis off our hands

Alright sorry I panicked for a moment. I like the Lee pick but he traded him away for an over-the-hill Vince.

I still maintain that it was a good trade.

Had we not pulled the trigger when Turkoglu walked and instead kept Lee, Alston, and Battie I can guaran-damn-tee you that we wouldn't have a Championship either. We fell short, but we came closer than we would have standing pat.

Anyone else think bosh is overrated as hell? Do we not remember when Shaq rightfully identified him as being a huge biggity biotch? I can't wait til his stats drop to about 17pts-8reb and he gets no air time in Mia behind Dwyane "Dade County" Wade and Princess James. Sweet Bosh put up 20/10 for a crap team... Hi Al Jefferson.

Miami is going to be nasty and James/Wade will be a highlight reel, but it's clear LBJ is more concerned about self-promotion and a $40m castle on star island than winning. Wade? Well he pretty much rapes us for 40-50 every game but that hasn't stopped us from going further in the playoffs.

There's hope and Free Agency aint over. CP3 is coming.

We are all Magic fans. I just disagree that we realistically stand a chance in a seven game series against the Heat or for that matter the Lakers as we are currently constructed. We can agree to disagree on that with time proving who is correct. Next season will be hear soon.


Why would you disagree with that when I never stated otherwise? I have only talked about the Heats chances to win it all, and not about a matchup against Orlando.

I haven't stated it but deep down even though i hate to admit it, I think the Celtics will beat them if they stay healthy and play the way they did this playoffs. Because that sort of team basketball and cohesive tough defense is exactly what will take down the Heat. That is my point.


Sorry, I am just frustrated and upset tonight.

I just think we are getting passed by with less chance of a title or big ways to improve our team. I worry Dwight will also want to leave in a few years without a real chance to win a title.

We had a chance the last two years but now I am not so sure we are playing for more than runner up in the Eastern conference.
Magic fan since Inaugural 89 season.

Nobody on that team can shoot

Chalmers, Wade, Lebron, Bosh, Shaq?

I still think we would have made the ECF with Lee Battie and Alston. Charlotte and Atlanta were jokes. We may have done better in the ECF because Lee can play defense unlike Carter.

Mike miller plays SG or SF. There is no position for him. And no, Wade and Lebron are not guarding point guards.

If you want to jump off the Magic bandwagon, do it now, and for good. Otherwise, myself and others are ready for another division crown and a shot at the title. Your move, Otis, I know you'll come through again.
