I hope we get something done and I mean MAJOR because I'm seeing our Eastern Conference rivals making NBA Championship Dynasty Franchise type of moves:

Chicago now has room for 2 max FA's (projected):
Rose| Joe Johnson| Deng| Stoudemire| Noah

Miami (rumored to have traded Beasley to Minny) has 3 max FA capspace:
Chalmers| Wade| James| Bosh| ?

New Jersey (rumored trade- Harris| #3 Pick for Danny Granger) would have room for 2 max FA's):
?| Joe Johnson| Granger| Boozer| Lopez

We have got to do something because tonite is going to be a huge determining factor where alot of these dudes are gonna sign this summer.

Whether tonite or right after July 1st, WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING before these teams pass us up.

Word.

I think Otis & Company areafew step's ahead of that notion (hence all the rumors swirling around Orlando)

funny thing is, nothing reported by a Sentinel writer (just the other team's beat writer's)

Otis keeps everything tight, under the vest.

I can't remember which Magic poster said it, but alot of teams have been preparing for this moment to come and now it's a reality.

What Pat Riley has done in Miami is incredible.
Even if unsuccessful, I've never seen a team get so far under the cap in preparation for something this big.

This draft and where players are traded to will basically be the roadmap to where who signs where.

Hopefully we'll be able to get in on some of the action like a great deal from some team that's still trying to cut payroll by trading a star player (cough)...Chris Paul...(cough).

I've always thought applauding in the war room was silly.
