  1. Im Rich I used to be active on this forum back when it originally stood up. But as life has taken over ive become a ghost just popping in reading topics. Im going to try and keep more active on this forum for this season. Im in the army now and stationed in Alaska so this forum will really be my only connection to the magic.lol Looking forward to hopefully an exciting and promising Magic season. Been a Magic fan since the heart and hustle season, I still remember being heart broken as a kid when the team got eliminated from playoff contention by the Milwalkee Bucks

    Shout out to all of the veterans of this board.

    Its been a while since I waas active on the board. But I still poke my head in. I've definitely come along way from the early days of the forum. It was good times.
  3. Im still trying to figure out what it is Grant Hill did to be known as this "classy" individual? What he didnt ***** about sitting at the end of the bench in a suit collecting bank? Or that he worked his ass of to get back and maybe earn some of the money he stole?
  4. The NBA is marketed as a team driven league, yet every championship team has one high profile player that leads them to the promise land. Its neccessary to have great players to win championships. The NBA also might be full of great pgs but all the great pgs are locked up or looking to get big paydays, you have to start somewhere. The Magics biggest weakness in the Dwight Howards era was a lack of a go to scorer, Trey Burke has the skill set to be a go to kind of player.
  5. The NBA is a point guard driven league these days, a pg with the talent that Burke has would be a mistake to pass up, the magic arent winning rings next year, its time to plan for the next 1-3 years and I think Burke would fit right in. Maybe let Jameer mentor him up a little bit.

    The all new Does Otis need to be fired Poll

    I have no idea where this whole steve kerr thing has come from, did anyone see what he did in Phoenix? I mean someone please enlighten as to what makes Steve Kerr a great GM.
  7. I still dont understand why people try and criticize Daniel Bryan for not being good on the "mic", who gives a crap how good about that. As you say he is one of the best techincal wrestlers out there, and he is one of the few guys out there who can make anybody look good in the ring. Cody Rhodes on the other hand, I think he is florishing as a midcarder but I beleive a little more experience your looking a future heavyweight champion right there.
  8. Why because Stan holds players accountable? SVG took Dwight to levels he didnt know about on defense, all Stan wanted was Dwight to be accountable, and play to his full potential. Stan recognized how dominant Dwight was on defense and rebounding, but Dwight wanted to score. Thats it. With Stan Dwight has now been a defensive player of the year three years runnig.
  9. Honestly how Otis has kept his job this long is ridiculous. I understand not wanting to give Dwight too much power, but the fact remains, what end game do you reach by playing hard ball with the teams best player? How big does that ego have to be?
  10. Honestly when your best players are as follows, Nelson, Hedo, JJ, Anderson, Big Baby, would u stay? Time to rebuild around Big Baby.lmao
  11. Its now Dec.9 teams can start dealing
  12. http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine Great trade id do it in a heart beat
  13. How Otis still has a job is ridiculous. He should of been canned when he gave up Gortat to rent Richardson and take Hedo off the Suns hands. Then trade Rashard Lewis for Arenas. Great trade Otis.
  14. Brook Lopez and 2 firsts. what a joke.
  15. Whats the deal? Brooke Lopez, and two late first rounders? If thats all thats on the table. Its not even worth the deal. The Magic will be in serious rebuilding anyways. Otis has sent this franchise back a couple of years for trying the rebuild the Golden State Warriors.
  16. As a Magic fan, I say screw Dwight Howard if he wants to force his way out of Orlando. New Jersey has nothing to offer the Magic, I say keep him til the end of the season and let him walk away from 20-30 million dollars. Also he can take otis smith with him since Otis is the reason this team is in the ****ter.

    What loss of Magic hit you harderst?

    The thing with that series is that Magic sucked that whole year anyway, so that wasnt surprisng that they lost that series. I would say game4, game on the line, season on the line, and the Magic fall apart, Dwight doesnt get enough criticism for his inability to hit one free throw in the final 30 seconds. He hits just one and the Magic win game 4 and its a new series.

    WE'RE HEADING TOWARDS DECERTIFICATION!

    Correct me if im wrong but by decertifying arent the players voiding there contracts? By seperating themselves from the entities they signed themselves to?
  19. But we also get a Kardashian in the deal, so that should count for something right? Who needs Stuff, when you have Khloe Kardashian on the sidelines.

    Gamethread: Magic @ Hawks - Game 4

    If Stan is one thing, it is stubborn, if it hasnt worked all game, it must work in the last second. Hedo has done nothing to suggest he should even be in the game let alone taking the final shot. I understand no one else can create for themsevles but Hedo hasnt been able to do that for about 3 years now. When horford strips you, it should tell you something. I mean, Nelson, Arenas, Redick, Anderson, and Hedo gets the shot? The suns have really made otis look like a fool, not only did they get the Magic to take Hedo, they got an expiring, young atletic defender, and a quality center for it. Otis went all in and failed big time. Its time to get a real gm in here, not a former player but a real one.

    Hedo's real age

    The truth of the matter is this is the same Turk of the last two seasons, the only difference is the Magic thought they could change him. Otis may a calculated risk that he coucld get hedo back to where he was and it back fired, Hedo is not a great player anymore. And I am willinig to bet there isnt one team out therre dumb enough to take his contract, same with Gilbert Arenas. Otis believes the Magic can change these guys, when the fact is they are the same players we all knew they were.

    So long Facebook.

    I will gladly disprove your theory that Megan Fox is a man, you give me the opportunity, I will you the results.
  23. The thing with Otis is that he doesnt seem to have a vision. Giving Rashard a huge contract, and seemingly out bidding himself was odd, then turning around and trading said player for the only player in the league with a worse contract was a little odder. Then trading away a reliable defensive and our only trade chip center for a player in Hedo who has not produced anything in two, almost three years if you want to count that crap he through up his last season here. The team now has no flow, and no clear future. They are handicapped for a couple years to come, and as the rest of the league gets better, the Magic will simply get older. Their is no true flexibility, the only flexibility the team has if Gilbert Arenas decides to forego 40 million dollars after next year. Doesnt seem likely. Im not saying fire the guy but I hope he has a plan in mind to compete.
  24. You cant have two Boston players without throwing in a Miami player, then the announcers wouldnt have anyway to talk up the Heat-Celtics rivalry, and how great it will be when they meet up in the finals. Suprised there isnt a Laker player in there, guess they couldnt justify putting any of them in.

    Official Game Thread: Heat vs Magic

    When one team goes lights out from the field, its an anomally, it happens, when two teams go off on you, its a coincidence, it happens long season, but this is about the 5th or 6th team that has gone off on the Magic. The excuse cant be they are making shots, eventually it becomes who the team is. Now this great offense, Hedo back to being hedo, almost invisible out there this time around however. Gilbert is who has been the last two or so years.
