The OP is currently at 1996 12/15 pages total.
One page equals 15 posts.


-Let's discuss every news & rumor (from news articles, facebook/twitter, billboards, magazines, TV/Internet/Radio, etc.) that is occurring around the league (even if it is directly or indirectly affecting the Magic).

-March 1st is when Trade Restrictions are lifted, and March 15th is the Trade Deadline.


-Remember, whatever happens... happens. We will always be Orlando Magic Fans. Forever. Let's do this. GO MAGIC!

11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

How much you wanna bet Dwight has NO clue what our salary situation is, who the free agents are next summer, how much cap room we could have etc etc. How much you wanna bet our incompetent front office hasn't conveyed all of this to him. How much you wanna bet even if they have, Dwight isn't smart enough to comprehend it?

What kills me is comments like this....
John Denton @JohnDenton555

More reflective D12: "They took a chance on me at 18 when everybody else said no, don't do it. It looked stupid at first, but look now."

John Denton @JohnDenton555

Last D12: ``It's the same situation now (as far as taking a chance). That's it. I understand that situation. I understand mine, too."

Why say stuff like that unless you're wanting to end up in Orlando long term? If you want to stay, explain why you wouldn't opt-in and tell us straight up you want to be in Orlando for 5 more years. All he's said is he wants to stay and finish THIS season... that only raises red flags.

At this point, he's regurgitating what Fegan tells him to so that he comes out looking like the good guy in this.
