Oh well.

I'm gonna give it a chance but damn, it's really getting hard for me to continue to support the team.



On no? He passed on Granger at 11 in 2007.


This.

How can you be a Magic fan and not remember this blunder? :nonono:

That will not happen.

He is a third-stringer in this league and I bet a D-League player could give him a run for his money next year.

Yeah, same thing happened during the NFL draft. Takes the suspense out of everything. Next time Im not going to be paying attention to the thread when the Magic are up.

There are some statements that should never be said, even if it proves true.

Kyle is a Center? maybe in college in the NBA he got PF written all over him....not gonna lie i'm disappointed....we could of had PJ3 a guy with lottery talent....Passed on him for a good kid in Nicholson but isn't in the same stratosphere as PJ3 when it comes to potential.....Could of had Scott Machado who is the pass first guy people here seem to want....it filled a need.....Machado passing skills imo were best in the nation....passed on him for Otis smith's little brother....Got to admit i don't understand the vision Rob....you might want to explain to me where we're going with this.....

How could we pass on a guy with minor injury concerns and the biggest question marks in the draft/as well as a guy in Sullinger with almost no upside and no athleticism (which our GM said he wanted) for a solid prospect with no weaknesses and a great team mate. Jesus this guy is worse than otis.

A D-Leaguer gave him a run for his money this year, for some reason SVG wouldn't let him play. You forget Ish Smith so easily?

if you're a PF on the Magic, i think you'd best have the removalists on speed dial.

I have a pretty good sarcasm detector, but i can't tell if you're being serious or not.
