    The Magic would love for assistant coach Patrick Ewing to return next season and help continue all-star C Dwight Howard's progress.

     

    Ewing, in the final season of his contract with the Magic, has aspirations to be a head coach.

     

    "We'd like Patrick to come back -- no question," General Manager Otis Smith said. "We like not just what he does with Dwight, but what he does for all of our guys."

     

    quote:
    Smith likes the continuity Ewing would provide for the 22-year-old Howard, plus the fact that Ewing doesn't allow for shortcuts.

     

    "Patrick has been there, done that," Smith said. "So there can be no excuses."

     

    Hopefully, Ewing will resign back with the Magic, but I think D'Antoni will try to offer Ewing the assistant HC job again next summer, and I think Ewing might accept the offer this time.

    Count Dallas In: Mavericks' owner Mark Cuban tossed the Mavericks into the discussion regarding Knicks' guard Stephon Marbury. Marbury has been given permission by the Knicks to seek out interest from other teams, with the stipulation that a buyout could be worked out if Marbury were to head to a Western Conference team. The Mavericks have been really struggling and Cuban told reporters not only was he a "big Marbury" fan that he knew "several" teams would have interest in Marbury if he was indeed bought out by the Knicks. Cuban was quick to reverse his commentary when he realized he was commenting a player still under contract to another team, something he is not permitted to do. It is clear if Marbury is looking for a new home, the Dallas Mavericks can and would take a chance on him.

     

    So it look like he won't be signing with no teams in the east.

    Well they did need a PG. Besides Felton they didnt have much else.

     

    Yeah, but I think Brook Lopez and Mario Chalmers or George Hill would've been better than Augustin and that Alexis kid.

    There has been exploratory talk between the Bobcats and Jamaal Tinsley's agent should the Pacers buy out the NBA's and Brooklyn's best deactivated point guard.

     

     

    I think Tinsley would be a better option for the Magic.

     

    On a another note, according to HoopsHype.com the Cavs offered Anderson Varejao and Wally Szczerbiak to the Nets for Vince Carter ...

    Ofcourse thats after I watch my Detroit Lions get killed in Charlotte by the Panthers.

     

    So im hoping that after I drink my self into dumbness after the football game, I can feel better about my life choices when the Magic own the Bobcats.

     

    "Man, I hope im not let down"

     

    I'm a Lions fan too.

    If you're looking for a Texas team that will give Marbury a real look, NBA front-office sources say it's Dallas. Mavs owner Mark Cuban has a friendly relationship with Marbury, and Cuban's team clearly needs more scoring off its punchless bench. With Jason Terry operating primarily as a shooting guard these days, J.J. Barea is Dallas' primary backup to Jason Kidd at the point.

     

    I definitely could see Cuban signing Marbury, when he's release by the Knicks.

     

    On another note the first paycheck of this season was distributed Friday. Marbury earned $1,828,125.

    I'm really really worried about this game. Teams are usually hard pressed to bring the same effort after a tough emotional win like last night's game. The Bobcats also have a couple of very good perimeter scorers and a quality point guard. Not a particularly easy match up for the Magic.

     

    All that being said, we win 175 to 48. Give or take another 30 points if Warlock plays.

     

    You know Jason Richardson is out with a injury.

    Why, the have 4 players capable of playing SG at a pretty high level. Which is the reason they are interested in moving Belinelli in the first place.

    In his first start in the NBA, Warriors guard Anthony Morrow scored 37 points on 15-of-20 shooting with four three-pointers, 11 rebounds and one assist.

     

    The undrafted rookie made a lot of GMs feel silly with this performance. We've seen project guards in the Warriors starting five before--DeMarcus Nelson is now in the D-League and the jury is still out on C.J. Watson--but Morrow looks like the real deal. Calling this a career night is an understatement, and you should definitely rush to pluck him out of the free agent pool.

     

    They have 5 now. Wasn't Morrow on the Heats summer league squad this year?
