Mildly hot take...

I don't care either way.

Surprised by the apathy from some... this dude is THE voice of the magic and always has been. Great memories of 3-D and Nick draining 3's from Penny and Shaq assists and hearing Paul announce it.

Unless he is not a great person and has done something f'ed up, I don't get the apathy.

he is 71 and lives in Tampa (also voice of the Tampa Lightning). maybe they want to bring in a new, young voice.

Signed, would feel wrong to go far in the playoffs without him announcing for us.

Paul Porter is the best in the business. He brings hype without being annoying. If you want a different voice, I advise you to listen to other teams, they are way worse. And his backup was always lacking.

Listen to him when Suggs hits that 3 at 0:20, I get **** goosebumps. Paul Porter is the **** GOAT and we need him back.

Paul Porter’s career could have been saved if the Magic drafted Grady Dick instead of Jett Howard.

I don't like this. I've heard other PAs fill in for him last season and it just DID NOT hit the spot.

**** decision by the Magic

I signed this one early, disappointed it’s not even at 2k signatures.

The team hasn’t come close to finding a replacement over the years/decades.
Paul should go out on his own terms.

The product falls off immensely without him.

Because we dont know the details. He could be asking for way too much. We could have someone way better lined up. He could be an ****. Give me full details and ill give you my full assessment.

Anyone remember when Paul Porter pissed off Phil Jackson (Lakers) for the way he utters “traveling”

Dig Paul Porter but their are probably many that can do his job so who knows what happens in the background. My favorite broadcaster all time is still George Blaha as I saw him as a little kid in the 80's while he still looks the same now as he did back then (looked 70yo back then). Regardless, never seen a guy who loves everything about his team and blasphemes it to everyone at any chance with his gushes while talking bad about other teams and refs. He has been that guy for 46 years and still going at 80. Dude is a legend and my hero.

Being logical for a minute, the team is never bringing him back. Given his age, even less likely.

The petition, in that sense is never going to be successful. But it does let the team know the fans think they made a big mistake and lets PP know he is missed and loved.

I don't even live in the US but I signed it as it seems to be important to a lot of people on here - who therefore are important to me.

It seems like they're rebranding top to bottom.... Got new blood leading now with Alex stepping down, a new voice for the next generation
