ORLANDO - Former Orlando Magic forward Trevor Ariza played only sparingly to start the season, but in the six games before he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers on Nov. 20 he saw an average of 15 minutes of playing time.
Keyon Dooling, who failed to get into Orlando's loss Wednesday night against New Jersey, was surprisingly moved into the starting lineup Friday night in place of Keith Bogans, who had started the previous 34 games.
Could a Magic team that has been strangely inconsistent for weeks be shopping Dooling, or even point guard Carlos Arroyo, who moved into the starting lineup four games ago?

He repeated that on 1080 AM yesterday on the Brady Ackerman show.

1. arroyo, very doubtful.
2. he was moved to the starting line-up not to showcase but to be a remedy to nelson's antiques.
3. dooling, on the other hand, is very suspect.
4. he definitely is a hustler but hogs the ball, is a piss-poor 3pt shooter and is somewhat redundant if bogans decides to play some defense for a little change.

Talking about 1080 am here in Orlando, is that the only sports radio station left here in town? after 740 changed the format, I dont care about Dan Sileo, that guy is waste of time, and the shot dr. and Jerry O'Neal another. Is there any other alternative in town to listen to, regarding sports???? Can somebody living here in Orlando answer that?
I can listen to fox sports radio on the internet, but no local sports????

I cant believe you guys didnt post this part of the article:
The Magic aren't allowed to comment on players on opposing teams, but they are keeping their eye on the availability of Golden State small forward Mickael Pietrus. Orlando made an attempt to nab Pietrus last summer when he was a restricted free agent. He has been buried on the bench all season behind Matt Barnes and Al Harrington. Golden State, meanwhile, is in the market for a point guard. Troy Hudson is out for the season, and Baron Davis' minutes have been increasing.
It says that we were interested in Pietrus back in the summer, thats news to me, that wasent mentioned only speculated by us fans. And that we are interested in him and makes sense.

He plays SG, he did last year for the Warriors and played well. He gives us size, athleticism, defense, and can hit the 3.

This is Denton, so you have to pay attention to this because he's got by far the best access to the team.

Notice the in-lays here and here, they are distinctive of the work done in New England, specifically Boston. We believe that this cabinet is a very rare one, it quite possibly could have belonged to Teddy Roosevelt.
Now if you would turn your attention to this wonderfully preserved Ming dynasty vase. This is the newest piece in Mr Nelson's ever growing Asian collection. There is no truth in the rumor that Yao acquired this exquisite piece for Jameer. When the team was in China during for the preseason games, Mr. Nelson visited the Hebei Province and discovered this beautiful vase.
Oh ... wait he's
not showcasing them ... How does one remedy them?

Great! Now if we can just trade Dwight and Meer for SF's, Otis can fulfill his dream of an all SF team.

That's pretty much it.
If you live on the SW side of Orlando, 620 am WDAE Tampa is fairly easy to get. It's still a real sports station.
How pathetic Clear Channel is. They own 620 AM too..........

1080 blows anyway for the most part.
740 was a Godsend and had a lot of great out of state programming that I'm missing out on now.
