Hey, I wanted to ask if anybody knew if we can put the pre-season tickets on the ticketexchange? When can we post them? Thanks,

This news of resigning Foyle is very discouraging. Why we did this I do not know. Foyle will be the next Pat Garrity. We can not get rid of this guy. I hope he enjoys playing maybe 4 mins. a game every other game. Of course, he has it made getting the Vet. Min. to sit the bench. If we trade Gortat by the deadline and Foyle becomes our backup behind Howard. It is just gut wrenching to think about it. Gortat you better not get injuried.

This thread is lame. I can not believe I actually went into this topic. However, the topics have been slow but who really wants to talk about the not so exciting resigning of Adonal Foyle, not me.

Jameer is not a Top 12 pg. I would say he is in the Top 20 when he is consistent and not injuried. He had one real career season last year, but w/ the injury was MIA the rest of the season and he was not ready for the Finals. I would have not put him during the Finals. Let the man finish a whole season w/o injury or inconsistentancy before naming him a top ranked pg. You guys want to put him in the Hall of Fame. That belongs to Dwight Howard. Jameer still needs to prove himself for the long run not little short runs that run together in spurts. Jameer should be happy he is starting this year. If he falters this year I think he will be traded.

Insider News: Moderator will soon close this useless thread to never be open again and the members of the message board will rejoice w/ happiness.

If I had to choose my favorite right now w/o seeing the dancers perform, I would have to say my favorite is going to be Rachael this season. She is quite beautiful and what a smile.

We'll probably sign one or two non-guaranteed contracts as well to round out the roster, I think. you need to have 12 dressed, so I assume that 12 is the minimum. Regardless, no Otis isn't done We are going after another Center. We will need one before the trade deadline as Gortat will be most likely traded before the deadline w/ AJ for a 2nd string pg, more affordable backup center, and possibly a draft pick.

The man is an ancient curse to this team and is now walking up and down the court when others are running the court. Foyle will not give you the quality minutes anymore. One day he will make a great bench coach, but he needs to retire as a player. you do realize that the players we sign now will all be in suits game night, right? I would agree w/ you at the beginning of the season they will sitting wearing uniforms but with no playing time if you are the 3rd string center, as Williams will see playing time. But, we could be trading Gortat by the trade deadline and I would not want to see Foyle as our main backup. Would you? Also, J Will will be getting more playing time then AJ will and I firmly believe if we can trade AJ we will by the deadline. Goodbye Gortat and AJ by the tradeline if the right deal comes along. I would be willing to bet that we'd get a PG and/or a C if we traded those 2. I'm still hoping for Johan Petro I agree and it would be nice to have a backup pg that can fill the starting role if Jameer is injuried or inconsistent. Don't get me wrong, it is not like Jameer is a not leader off the court but on the court to be a leader you have to at least be consistent. I would like to keep Gortat if we can, but w/ his contract it is unlikely. The Magic would rather use that budget to upgrade 2nd spot at pg unless Jameer becomes Chris Paul. I would take Petro over Foyle. I would put Patrick Ewing back in a uniform over Foyle. No Foyle.

You, my friend, have a shaky yet hilarious outlook on the business end of professional sports. Thanks for the laugh. I understand where you are coming from but when a player volunteers time to an event that is unpaid the Magic can put this towards the community service time a player must use in their contract, if the player has a community service clause. By being at this event, yet it being a sales event the player would still be doing the community a service by being at a free event signing showing community support. Also, not every player is at the Jameer event. If the Magic wanted to, they could have gotten one or two players to show up.

With the extremely limited amount of tickets left, it's a much bigger advantage than in years past. You also get an in-person view of the seat, which is more accurate than any program can provide. Edit: By the way, all the info can be found here: http://www.nba.com/magic/news/...t_a_seat_081809.html The points you make here are valid, but if you are an avid fan of the team you know where the seats are and you have an idea of what view you will have of the game in the seat you are buying. No one sits in the same seats all the time including STHs.

I agree, what a let down. They should of had some players there just for the fan support. Last years was the bomb as everyone was there including Howard, Lewis, and SVG. Not even SVG is going to be at this one. They should of asked a couple of the players to voluntary show up for an hour or two just to show love to the fans that are buying the tickets. This would have been a great way for the new members of the team to get to know the fans and develop that fan base that every player wants. Just call the ticket reps. to get your seats if you are doing the STH plans, 1/2 st plan, or the 11 game plan on Monday.
