All #Magic players were here at practice today -- important news on trade deadline day.

Please fire otis smith. He has made this team an absolute joke since 2009

Oh I love turning to a Live Sportscenter and seeing an NBA analyst bring up Dwight Howard, and how unhappy he is in Orlando at the moment during the "trade deadline" segment

I asked D Howard if his postgame comments had an effect. He said: "We'll see tomorrow."

This and the previous tweet kinda confirms Otis is not making a move ..

It would shock me if we make a trade. Only thing that may happen is trying to pick up Murphy or Gadzuric should they get waived.

Magic are screwed. So, so screwed.

Since no trades will happen, I won't stress out in the playoffs. Knowing that we don't have a chance to get out of the 1st round. I'll be more relaxed with the lowered expectations.

So guys, how does it feel now that our team is completely irrelevant again? Did everyone have fun while we were good?

It was a fun few years, I got to witness the Magic's 1st and only win in the Finals, good times.

Hopefully in a few years we'll be better. The small window the Magic had has officially shut.

I wouldn't go as far to say we're out in the 1st round, we'll get to the 2nd, but from there would be a very long shot.

The Hawks are better at every position except Center. Dwight can't do it all, we'll lose in 5 or 6 games.

Well, with Hinrich now at point we will at least get a few more white on white crimes if we see them in the playoffs.

if only Dwight wouldnt opt out next year, but wait until the following year, especially if Otis has talked Gil into some type of buyout, the team would have a lot of money available.

sigh, IF ONLY

you guys have a little to much faith in otis expecting something to happen, if it makes sense otis will not do it
