I was listening to the radio Wednesday morning, I think David Baumann's new show, and they were discussing predicting the Orlando magic season record next year.

I was really surprised by the calls and the texts he was getting. People thinking the magic could win 30,40, even 50 games with our roster lol...

I personally think we're at the bottom of the league with the squad as currently constructed. I can also easily name 9 squads better than us in the east...

How the hell do we win 40 or more games???

I think if we're lucky we'll be in the high 20s...


PS.. THERES NO WAY THOSE CALLERS WERE SERIOUS.. HAD TO BE TROLLING BAUMANN OR SOMETHING LOLOL

I get the feeling BMP won't be going anywhere.

Nah, and really why should he? BMP has been a good contributor over the years, it just seems like when the Dwight trade went down, BMP took off on a serious bender and it's just stretched out for a few days.

Sooner or later he'll get off the high, the hangover will hit, and eventually he'll recover and begin contributing constructively.

Either that or he'll start posting "Cat Sayz Henny Sux" meme pics, and we'll know there's no longer any hope.

Magic, armed with $17 million exception after Howard deal, hope to acquire more draft picks from teams shipping players, trying to avoid tax

Al Harrington wants to make home in Orlando after Howard trade, but likely will be dealt this season or next summer in rebuild plan

Don't know why this is so overlooked. This is really good news imo. If Hennigan can somehow turn any of the assets we received into a possible lottery pick, I'd be far more satisfied with this trade.

I think this team could be much better than people think on this board. 30 wins is certainly possible, maybe even more if some of the second and third year players bloom. I think some folks on this board will be surprised thtat the team doesn't completely suck as much as they are hoping for.

Henny needs to redeem himself to justify the trade that brought in an untradeable Harrington and giving Meer that Contract. Until Henny can do so, he is no better than Otis at this point. I think Otis could have gotten better for Dwight until Henny proves us all wrong!!!

I heard something about Stern, Devos, the Pope, Usain Bolt, and Hanna Montana. They are all in cahoots.

1 plan for #Magic is to use Trade Exception to absorb players from teams looking to avoid luxury tax. Catch is Magic will demand drft picks
