Forget all them. I know the loyal fans on here & we will all stick together through this upcoming season. 8-)

Although Evan Turner would have made this deal hell of a lot better.


I understand being a true fan, and not going anywhere and blah, blah, blah. But it is okay to be pissed at this organization they have failed this city.

Bad night to be a Magic fan. EIther Miami or LA has a nice shot at a title for the next several years, enjoy the NBA guys.

Something else has to shake out and make this deal look better. Clearing Turk and getting a nice prospect would make a big difference.

I'll be curious to see if any of the pieces change in the morning. Philly would rather not give up Harkless, but Magic love him.

ESPN basically calling out ROB and saying why would he do such a deal. Saying there's no explanation for it.

Surprised people were still doubting this deal. I mean it's not like that clown Rudolph was reporting it. Marc Stein is usually spot on when he says a deal is done.

Remember those LOYAL people who followed their leader into the cave and drank the Kool-aid with him...

That's how this trade feels.

Every analyst has come one and tried to give a positive spin to Magic fans specifically and can't come up with anything LOL
