Not unexpected.
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

Garrity always survives the trade deadline.

Seriously. Garrity's contract for Reggie Evans and I would have been happy enough.

this sucks but im not terribly disapointed we know he was out there looking and i guess it didnt turn out. I think most of us are glad we didnt get thomas for draft picks, its now being said that mill garcia trade could have only worked if we gave hedo which im glad we didnt, i still dont believe pat riley even gave us a chance with undonis haslem, and obviously chris wilcox wasnt as available as we thought he was his name hasnt been brought up in any trade talk. i believe otis did his job and probably made some good decisions by not screwing our team up, i do wish we couldve done something but o well

While I would have liked to see a small deal involving Garrity's expiring, I believe in Otis Smith and there just might not been anything out there worth doing.

The Magic also do not get closer to the luxury tax by not making a move.

No Biggie!

i would've liked to have seen a move made, but i'm not surprised nothing went down.

in regards to Luxury Tax though, Otis shouldn't have the right to restrict the team because of the LT. signing Lewis to that albatross of a contract is what has and always will keep us right up there near it.

we'll hit LT sooner or later. there's no point making it sooner if it's not making the team better, but there's also no point hiding behind that excuse if 'the perfect deal' isn't there.

this is why denton owns the sentinel, look at this ridiculous statement from this sentinel article

Most of the major deals around the league were done prior to Thursday. Shaquille O'Neal went from Miami to Phoenix, who sent back Shawn Marion and and . Pau Gasol went from Memphis to the Los Angeles Lakers. Jason Kidd went from New Jersey to Dallas earlier this week. Sacramento sent Andre Miller to Philadelphia.


OMG i cant believe this guy is SO BAD, that trade never happened!! lol


this guy is such a joke, how to you put some garbage like that in your article, wth?
