SHOWTIME

We have 18 players on our roster, it's obvious three of them are going to be cut. Who can those be? Actually 17 player and Ish Smith makes it 18 players.

Welcome Jacque Vaughn. Wish you all the best.

Team First.......At this point I don't care where D Coward gets traded to. D-Will said it all...him and D. Coward have been talking about teaming up since the 2008 Olympics. All along the coward knew he was gonna team up with D Will and he never convinced him to join the Magic. I blame D. Coward 100% for all the mess we are going through. He should pack his bags and catch the next plane leaving O-Town. We don't need you Dwight. We are gonna be fine. Just go.shut up and leave us alone. We are sick and tired of your baby games.

I say let us be patient. In less than 4 days we will be able to know which direction the team is headed.

It doesn't make any sense to trade for someone older than DH if we are going to rebuild. Bynum is perfect because of his age and he might develop at a faster rate since he will become the face of the Magic.

Andrew Nicholson(AN) appeals to me like a very promising player. He has a lot of potential and is not shaken by the new stage. He looks like he is ready to go. Welcome AN

If Dwight real wants to play in a big market, which teams is he likely to consider. I am not saying this is where he would end up at but looking at it from his side, what teams or rather which big market would he consider. Here is a list of all the teams in the big market: Knicks, Nets, Lakers, Clippers, Raptors, Bulls, 76ers, Mavericks, Warriors, & Celtics. I would guess he won't even consider the following teams: Lakers(we all know why), Raptors, 76ers, Warriors. My second guess is he would possibly listen to the following teams but would not be motivated enough: Bulls(again we all know why), Celtics These are teams he would consider: Nets, Mavericks These are teams in the markets he likes the most: Lakers, Clippers, Knicks, Nets. Now looking at it from the Magic's side, I would say if the team was to trade DH to any team from this list it would be the following teams: 1)Lakers with Magic getting Bynum and whoever/whatever in return. 2)Clippers with the Magic getting Griffin and whoever/whatever in return. 3)Knicks with Magic getting Melo and whoever/whatever in return. 4)Celtics with Magic getting Rondo and whoever/whatever in return.(Maybe and dependable on a number of other things) Magic might listen to the following teams: Bulls and 76ers(depends on what offers the Magic gets) These teams have nothing to offer the Magic: Nets, Mavericks, Raptors, Warriors Again guys I know the Magic can look elsewhere but hypothetically, let's say the Magic was looking at moving DH to a big market. What do you think?

Congratulations on your new job Rob Hennigan. You are welcome to the great city of Orlando, home of the Magic! :) Let's go Magic.

Here is the GM update: http://howardthedunk.com/2012/06/18/gm-update-no-offer-made-but-decision-expected-by-mid-week-if-not-sooner/

Guess who took #1 in overpaid NBA players....... http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--kobe-bryant--dirk-nowitzki-among-nba-s-most-overpaid-.html

I hope Tuesday (6/19/12) there is two things to look forward to; 1) NBA Finals game 4 and 2) Announcement of Magic's new GM. I can't wait. The process has taken forever.

Point Guard - Marquis Teague: I don't know why Orlando would skip someone like this guy.

Magic to name a GM by the end of the week. http://howardthedunk.com/2012/05/29/magic-to-name-a-gm-by-the-end-of-the-week/

If we manage to bring a combination of say Deron/Nash and Gordon/Wallace/Batum/Garnett/Ilyasova, we would have made a huge improvement. Just 2 guys from this list is all the new GM has to acquire on his first assignment. Alternatively we can look at the likes of Lowry/Josh Smith/Ellis/Harden, etc in a sign and trade. That will probably put us at #2 in the east.

I WISH we could at least sign one of the top three at the PG, SG and SF. Then target Ersan Ilyasova at the Power Forward. It's a wish, just a wish. Link http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1165302-nba-free-agency-2012-breaking-down-top-five-players-at-every-position/page/2
