mike was invited on a french TV show and was asked about his future.

mike said that he didnt enjoyed playing the PF for GS but after he had a talk with nelson and was put back at the SG/SF he really enjoyed he last months for the warriors.
he said that he'd love to resign there BUT his main wish is to get a lot of PT and a starting spot somewhere (cause he want to go to the allstar game within 2 yrs. not sure it will happen).

when asked where he'd like to go then,he replied that he KNOWS that he ll get an offer from SA and there is a HUGE chance that he 'lll take it.

when asked if it wouldn t be easier for him to go to the east where it ll be easier to make the play off,he said that he'd like CLE or Miami.he didn't mention Orlando at all.
at the end of the interview he made it clear that it was a 2 horse race between SA and MIA.

He'd fit in just for his defense and three point shooting, but he would not be a top choice for me. No big loss is he does not consider Orlando as a top destination.

pietrus has more potential and is younger than Evans

i was really surprise he didn t mention orlando

he said that eh like florida cause it s closer from home,he knows that we'll be after a SG,so i dont get why he didnt mention Otown

Just another player who does not consider the Magic the big time. One the city is small compared to other NBA cities. And yes there are some NBA teams with this same problem. One of the reasons the Clippers moved from San Deigo to LA.
Right now the team needs a young banger to help Dwight with the boards. and a really good pg would be the icing on the cake. Too many sg's and sf's on the team as it is and you want the magic to go get another.
Really doubt that the Magic have SG on their wish list for the upcoming draft or using the MLE either.

Well you are one of very few who like the frontcourt the way it is. I keep on hearing how people want someone big and young to work with Howard. Now Battie, Foyle don't fit that and Cook is not the great either. And Lewis is a joke in that area he likes to play away from the basket not close. This team can not afford a Critterion and plus he is not available. Why do keep on mentioning players that not available or just don't want to come here or the Magic can't afford.
Just wondering.

No good luck to us. Wade healthy, Shawn marion, Pietrus, Haslem and Rose or Beasley. Wouldn't be a surprise at all to see Miami back in the Hunt within a year or two.Whats more they have cap and trade space.
