Orlando Magic's front page has a link to it;

http://www.nba.com/magic/news/Magic_to_ ... 24-66.html

Orlando, FL -- The Orlando Magic will host the 2008 Orlando Pro Summer League at the RDV Sportsplex, July 7-11. The 15-game event will feature the Magic, Chicago, Indiana, Miami, New Jersey and Seattle. Three of the top four picks from the upcoming 2008 NBA Draft are expected to participate (#1 Chicago, #2 Miami, #4 Seattle).

I imagine like last year they will have the webcast aswell.

Even though he won't, I wish Diener would participate just so he could totally pwn everyone and their moms like the great summer league of '06.

I think it would be great if they would have the summer league open to the public. If they hold it at the arena, it would be great to see some of the young players play in this live instead of just watching a webcast.

Yeah I agree, I remember they had an open to public summer league when Lebron was here in '03

then some guy named britton johnson dunked on him and my life was never the same.....

those announcers were hilarious though, they would read our emails and stuff, i remember "suckfish" (a bulls mod) got a shoutout last summer for one of his emails, so it was cool.

It's gonna exciting watching these young players on the court for first time after we've been waiting so long.

I was wondering about the Warlock's participation. Where did you read about it?

And then Cleveland complained that they were not getting paid. The Magic fired back that fan tickets were being used to generate a charity fund. And .... This became a PR nightmare for both sides. And money is now a major reason these games can be quite.
