We will be live streaming media day starting around noon right from Amway Center. Here's the link: http://www.nba.com/magic/magic_live_stream.html

Here's a link to the complete schedule: http://www.nba.com/magic/schedule/ Personally, I can't wait for the home opener against the Rockets. I want basketball at the Amway Center to get started.

Hey guys, Recently had the chance to sit in on a Stan Van Gundy chalk talk session. It was over an hour long, but in there he broke down the various elements of coaching in the NBA, from his road to the league, how he prepares the team on game days, to how he structures practice and more. I clipped the videos out into 10 different segments all based on topic. You can find them all here: http://www.nba.com/magic/savage_stan_van_gundy_chalk_talk_110711.html Personally, I found the session extremely insightful and heard some stories that even I haven't heard before.

Magic Head Coach Stan Van Gundy recently appeared on Dan Le Batard Is Highly Questionable, an all-new show on ESPN2, to talk about a number of subjects, including his dribbling skills, his brother and his first kiss: http://www.nba.com/magic/van_gundy_appears_on_dan_le_batard_is_highly_questionable_show.html

We will likely be live streaming from the war room tonight. Still trying to finalize that process. Just in case you're interested.

And I think this story by Josh Cohen does an excellent job of summing it all up: http://on.nba.com/mbXdiL

Haha, that's harsh. I guess I'll have to get a Grim Reaper avatar. Apparently, I kill dreams and puppies. My main point is, I get questions from fans and people post deals for example (I'll use other teams so no one reads to much into it): Trade: Jason Kidd for LeBron or Cavs are nearing deal for Wade by trading Hickson. And it's crazy. Fortunately, most people here at least take time to match salaries and level down the realism, but it's not the case through the internet and definitely not on Twitter. In some ways people oversimplify the process and in some ways the overcomplicate it. Sometimes in some organization, other people, assistant gms, etc. talk deal and then it works its way up to the GM. But there's a lot of sitting and waiting, right thing at the right time and not doing a deal for the sake of just doing a deal. It's not always presented that way. My main point is not to buy into every rumor, it ends up leading to a lot of disappointment or fear of something that's just not true. No one is "laughing at fans," just at the garbage that's tossed out there by some people who claim to have sources.

Just a few notes to keep you updated: A number of Magic players have already started training, practicing, etc., including Chris Duhon and Earl Clark, who went boxing on Wednesday. I was lucky enough to tag along.

Also during that exchange, Howard said he's not thinking about going anywhere. Said he's not thinking of following "Shaq blueprint." And comically added that you could get better information from his new agent, Agent Zero.
