Watch and let us know what you think: http://www.nba.com/magic/video/teams/magic/2013/03/08/RiseofaRookie2webmov-2408063/index.html

The second episode of Rise of a Rookie will debut in two-three weeks. Hoping in two.

Here's a video we just released on OrlandoMagic.com entitled Rise of a Rookie: http://www.nba.com/magic/video/rise-of-a-rookie-the-beginning We spent a lot of time following the rookies around taking a look at what life is like for our rookies coming to Orlando and the NBA. Let me know what you think, since a lot of time was put into it. Thanks, Dan

What do you want to see today during the Magic's game against the Hornets in Mexico City at 2:30 p.m. ET on NBA TV? Remember you can chat in our chat room listed above during today's game.

Hey everyone, We'll be streaming media day interviews live starting at 12:45 pm and running until about 4 pm. You can tune in here: http://www.nba.com/magic/2012-orlando-magic-media-day-live-stream Enjoy!

Anthony Harvey is the new Strength & Conditioning Coordinator. He replaced Bill Burgos, who left last season to become the head Strength & Conditioning coach for the Knicks. Joe Rogowski is still on board as our Strength & Conditioning coach.

In case you missed it last night, here are all the games for the Magic's upcoming 2012-13 season: http://www.nba.com/magic/schedule/

Hey everyone, With the schedule just being released, I'm trying to plan some fun events for this upcoming season. I was wondering, how many of you would be interested in a Message Board Night, and if so, how important would it be that you sit next to all the other members of the board during the game? Obviously, there would be a little more to the night than just the game and we would provide an opportunity to mingle before/after the event. Let me know, so I could gauge the interest. If there's enough support, we'll start the process here of selecting a game. -Dan

Here's the Magic's entire Summer League roster: http://www.nba.com/magic/2012-orlando-magic-summer-league-roster Also, in case you were looking for a game schedule, you can find one here: http://www.nba.com/magic/news/magic_to_host_airtran_airways_orlando_pro_summer_league_2012.html

If you were Rob Hennigan what would be the first move you would make as the Magic's new GM? I'll see if I can drop off some of the best suggestions on his desk. Haha

Hey Everyone, The chat room is back in action. I'll be in there for parts of tonight and I'll try to bring in a special guest or two. Hope to see you there.

We'll be live streaming Rob Hennigan's introductory press conference at 3 p.m. You can watch here: http://www.nba.com/magic/magic_live_stream.html :bigparty:

Ask and you shall receive. We will. I'll post the link in here.

He's still around. Right now, in regards to Magic coverage, he writes from time to time for Fox Sports Florida.

The Orlando Magic will host the AirTran Airways Orlando Pro Summer League at the team’s practice court at the Amway Center from July 9-13, 2012. The 20-game event will feature the Orlando Magic, Brooklyn Nets, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers, Utah Jazz, Oklahoma City Thunder, Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons. http://www.nba.com/magic/news/magic_to_host_airtran_airways_orlando_pro_summer_league_2012.html

The past few years (excluding last year due to the lockout) there have been two Summer Leagues. One in Orlando and one in Vegas (Vegas usually starts about the final day of the ORL one).

From my talks with the league earlier today, I know NBA TV will have a presence here, so I assume NBA TV and NBA.com (paid stream). We used to stream it on OrlandoMagic.com, but with NBA TV here, they'll have the rights. We'll have tons of video and coverage of all of the games on OrlandoMagic.com for every day of Summer League. We'll also try and have some cool live chats with various key figures around the organization.

I should clarify that I think they'll both be here unless a trade occurs. It's my opinion that they don't let Ryan Anderson walk.

Interesting hypothetical. Fortunately for the Magic, I think they'll both be here next season.

Hey guys, I wanted to bring to your attention a special deal the Magic are running for Social Media Night on Monday. You get tickets to the Magic vs. Sixers game, get to attend a pregame tweet up with the Magic Dancers at Jernigan's and then attend a postgame Q&A with Ryan Anderson. If you're looking to go to a game, this is a great time to do it. Here's the deal. Warning tickets are extremely limited so if you're thinking about it, get them fast: http://www.nba.com/magic/news/hot_deal_social_media_night_041312.html

Once again, I think everyone had a great time at the 2012 OMYF Black Tie & Tennies Gala. It's one of the best events to get up close and personal with the players while also supporting a good cause. Here's some video and photos from the events. If I don't see some good avatars, short clips, etc. from this, then you all are not doing your jobs. Haha.
