Beno Udrih will sign a one-year deal with the New York Knicks, according to a source.

The contract will be worth the veteran's minimum.

The Knicks had made Udrih their top point-guard target to sign.

Udrih played for the Orlando Magic and Milwaukee Bucks last season.

This has absolutely nothing to do with us.

Of course it does -- the Magic will get a first round pick from either the Nuggets or the Knicks next summer. It is in our interest to see both of those teams do poorly.

There was a big thread on the General Board about it, pretty hilarious. Dwight came up with an awesome reply and then she came back with an even better one. Quite Epic.

i see dwight's back to replying to haters on twitter... Shame he's in his basketball prime and he's still the same insecure/immature person who can't let criticism go without retaliating.

This exchange strangely reminds me of the Seinfeld episode with the skin doctor.

Not really Magic related, but neither is a lot of this thread so far, but it sounds like a deal has been struck to fund a new soccer stadium for Orlando City so they can move up to MLS. This comes after the MLS commissioner announced about a week ago that they are going to expand MLS by 4 teams, Orlando likely being one of those teams now that they can build a stadium. I for one am really excited about having another major league team in Orlando and I hope everything works out like it seems to be doing.

FYI. I would have taken Udrih for the veterans minimum over Ronnie freaking Price!!!

You're right.... but we're tanking. Udrih would win a game or two. We don't need that right now.

Am I the only that was bothered by the terrible grammar in those tweets? Lol

My eyes hurt from reading that.

The Magic will also play games against Dallas, Houston, Memphis, Detroit, and San Antonio. Looks like we'll see a lot of New Orleans over the first month, 2 preseason games against them and then one more time for the 3rd game of the season. Anyways, I'm glad to know when we will finally get some Magic basketball again.

Hopefully all the games are televised at least online. It's 2013 FFS!

I thought Dwight won that one. His comeback was more original and creative, her line was just harping on the obvious. Not that it matters either way.

Not letting go of the fact that your superstar screwed you over and dwelling on the past = wrong.

Not letting go of a stupid comment on Twitter from some random guy and subsequently arguing in exceedingly juvenile fashion with some random hood rat = right.

Dwight Logic.

This is awesome, I was waiting for the news. Soccer is our last legit shot at a second team and this looks to seal it up. If MLS is true to there word we will come into the league in 2015. Congratulations to OCSC on the stadium deal and pending major league status. GO CITY.

Director of Player Personnel for the Orlando Magic, Harold Ellis, was on an interview and said he thinks VO is a young Wade and some Jordan.

http://talkinhoopz.com/in-case-you-miss ... -6th-show/

Some highlights:

At about 12 minutes. Lots of Magic talkin. Said Harris is a baller.

What are your thoughts on making the playoffs Harold? "Uh, we want to take is slowly..." :lol:

Says to watch out for Doron Lamb, he is really developing this summer.

Beasley to be released

http://arizonasports.com/60/1654307/Gam ... -over-soon

Memo to the rest of the NBA: learn from the mistakes made by Miami, Minnesota and now Phoenix. Beasley is a druggy and he is a bad guy. He doesn't care about anything but himself. He certainly doesn't care about the community he is in or about the organization paying him. He doesn't care about his teammates, the fans or the sponsors. He cares about his pot. His time in the NBA should be over.
