  1. I see nothing but hype on a guy who shone on a team that went 29-53. Vastly overrated and not seen as part of our future, but a piece to shaping it. Says it all for me.

     

    I found him incredibly erratic at times and I was never impressed.

     

    As this is an appreciation page, he does deserve praise for his professionalism and the effort he gave this ball team.


  2. My man, Aussie Magic Fan. Fancy seeing you here ; )

     

    Now its all done and dusted I'm content with what we've got out of this draft and trades. I like our picks. Initially I thought we reached for Gordon and when we took Saric I almost had a heart attack, but the boys in the office made it right.

     

    Henny's confidence on Gordon has me sold and Payton reeks of class. Fournier has some talent and Summer League will show what we have in Roy Devyn Marble. I'm pretty happy.

     

    And chill out on Exum. As an Aussie, their has always been an interest, but he never had me sold. His weaknesses (shooting, decision making) will be exposed at the next level. We've done alright Magic fans. Just got to ride it out.


  3. Eh... I've always been of the thought that to be an all-star your play should also either A) elevate the play of those around you and be part of a successful team or B ) failing that you have to be so far above everyone else in the league at your position that it would be truly inconceivable for that player to not be on the all star list.

     

    AA meets neither of those to me. His numbers are good. Very good. But their not astounding or incredible. He is not far and away the best SG currently in the league, nor would I even say he is in the top 3. And let's face it the Magic are horrible. He's simply getting his on a bad team. He's not carrying the team single handedly to win's every night, or playing the part of a good captain pointing the talented young players in the right direction.

     

     

    Agreed.

     

     


  4. The following is an excerpt from a great article on Jameer Nelson and his values, loyalty, leadership quality and career as a baller.

     

    "My life outside of basketball is more important to me than basketball, always has been,'' Nelson said. "Basketball is something I was blessed with and something that allowed me to take care of my family."

    The dude just gets it.

     

    Whatever the franchise decides to do with Jameer, hes a player I'll never forget and always admire.


  5. I feel like the main reason he's here is because his contract makes him easy trade filler whenever Hennigan decides to make his next big move. I don't really see how Moore fits in with our somewhat logjam at the guard spots, and I feel Doron Lamb has better upside than him. I'd rather play Oladipo as the primary backup PG and Lamb at backup SG to develop him more.

     

     

    I was impressed with Doron Lamb in college and still think he'll find his place in the NBA. Wish it were with us!
