"When we win, we win. When we lose, we also win. We've shed the pallor of foreboding doubt brought on by the culture of an unhappy and duplicitous superstar with bright lights in his eyes.
We have replaced a front office that proved itself myopic, inept time and time again. We have brought in new scouts, new management, a new philosophy towards sustainable winning and growth. And with that, we have brought new hope, the same objective but a new and better means of achieving it.
We have shed Dwight, but also Chris Duhon. Also Jason Richardson. The pervasive, self-attenuating thought that we're good, but not quite good enough. We've replaced that culture with one of youth and potential, of excitement and development and a team-wide commitment to Orlando, to growing as a team, and to winning the NBA Championship.
Ladies and Gentlemen, stand and cheer for your Orlando Magic. For your new Orlando Magic. For Vucevic and Nicholson and Dequan Jones. For Moe Harkless, Gustavo Ayon. For your point guard, Jameer Nelson, and his backup E'Twaun Moore. Glen Davis, growing (ahem) into his own. Kyle O'Quinn, and John Clay Redick. Heart and Hustle, part deux. There's beauty in the breakdown, and from the ashes rises a new phoenix. Our phoenix, and your Orlando Magic. The future starts now!!"
