Correct me if I am wrong but didnt we use the Dooling TPE in the Carter trade???

What player should we download????

I just called the Orlando Magic to tell them how they have disappointed many of their fans and the lady didn't even care. She put me on hold while I was talking! Maybe it was her, but it seems like they really don't care about the fans.

What are you talking about??? How are they to blame. Yes Lewis is overpaid but he still is a great player. Dwight has nothing to be blamed for. If there was no salery cap for him he would have made alot more then 85 million and he is def. worth every single penny of it. You must be a bitter Darko fan. Why is everyone acting like we just lost Kevin Garnett. Yes Darko is good but losing him is not going to make us worse.

Many of you Rashard haters dont realize he averaged 22ppg under Ray allen's 26ppg. He was their second scoring option. Im not saying he is going to average 30ppg but im sure he could average 25ppg with the magic especially since we lost grant

Thats funny that you would say something like that MAGIC31. I like Darko a lot but there is no team in the league that is going to pay him 10 mil. a year. If he didnt want to take the deal the magic offered him thats his problem. I just hope he doesn't make the same mistake deshawn made and have to sign with a team for 1 mil. Also I understand he is 22 but Rashard is a great offensive player which we needed really bad last season and Darko def. didn't show up for half of the games. Like I said I would love to have him back but not for 10 mil and not being able to sign the best free agent out on the market.

I guess you don't understand that Dwights new contract kicks in nexy year so we won't have any money to sign anyone past this year. And ontop of that I think Rashard is a great player he averaged 22ppg and was the second option in seattle so there is no need to be so negative towards Rashard

If the Heat bought him out I would take him in a heart beat. Who better to teach the next dominant center(Dwight)then the most dominant center to ever play the game(Shaq).

The funny thing about JJ Redick is that Bhill is using him just as much as Detriot used Darko. Bhill is letting his talent just sit on the bench. I understand that he isn't a good defensive player but other then ghill,Ariza,Dwight, and Darko who is?

All I could do is laugh at this post. First he says he would trade Dwight for Oden then says Noah is a high lottery pick. I know on all the boards they list him at The #5 pick but I wouldn't Waste a 1st rounder on him. He is just a younger version of Bo Outlaw. He is a great hustle player thats it! Any team that wastes their 1st round pick on him will regret it.

Why didn't we run the play for hill. Why is nelson taking the last shot. He has proven that he is no longer clutch!!!!!!!

VINTAGE Grant Hill

why dont we give the ball to grant more!

I Hate bhill just as much as all of you but you can't blame this loss on him. We should have one this game if Randy Ayers didnt pick up that technical that cut the lead to 2 points instead of 3.

It wasn't Brian Hills Subs that lost the game not even the refs no call it was Randy Ayers that lost this game what was he thinking!!!

I am sick and tire of hearing that people want carlos arroyo to be trade and he's not even being place on the court....I said once and I will say it again a good coach teaches the player...that is what makes a difference between a pat riley & a brian hill...a phil jackson & a brian hill...a mike d antoni & a brian hill. How can u win not using all the teams resources....and ladies and gentlemen....yes that includes mr. outlaw, arroyo,bogans, garrity (if we must), diener & augustine. Whoever is not on the DL when a game is so badly executed should be allow to bring it on...from the bench....you just dont take the desicion of not using your full resources, is stupid...very irritating. And yes i believe anybody that is not playing can make a difference on the game even if we are losing. A few may not believe in arroyo, but I as a magic nation fan believe he can in junction with mr.ariza, dooling, milicic, redick, outlaw, bogans, garrity (if we must), diener & augustine believe they are the orlano magic and win, with the regular starters. A few of you have rage against arroyo, and curse the people who support his presence in the team. You dislike the fact the he has a fanbase that support him and praises him for his skills, yet to be proven....you even ask for a trade of him because his so called fans demand to see him play, but he's not doing anything wrong...he loves the orlando magic and he loves the game. I study years ago in fajardo puerto rico with carlos alberto arroyo, in high school, and there is nothing more he loves than to be a team player, he only wants to win and help his team win...let him play let him give what he has practice and work his entire life for, such as the others bench teamates. Please stop asking for trades, for his trade specifically, nobody is being arrogant and asking for jameer nelson to be traded...i am going to be honest there is no need for trades, to be sincere we need a coach that matches the young blood we have...we have a very talented squad on deck...but there is not enough talent behind the controls to match the squad...lets ask for what we need young blood on the coach seat...dallas did it, avery johnson, international experience, mike d antoni...if this team have done it and look to their records lets follow good examples. with all y heart go magic.... I am not a hugh fan of B Hill but the coaches you named all play with a 8 man rotation which is what Brian Hill is doing. I dont know were you saw those coaches use more then an 8 man rotation night in and night out. I do agree we have to use all our resources BUT arroyo and bogans have really struggled the past couple months, mainly arroyo.

After seeing this from Jameer im happy otis isnt going to offer him an extention this summer he is the most inconsistent player ive seen in a while. The thing I hate about Jameer is that he cant pass the ball. WE need a player like TJ Ford who get the ball to dwight and give him more that EIGHT shot attempts. Is it me or is it ridiculous how the Franchise player only shot the ball EIGHT times?

I don't see why so many people are worried about him leaving he can't even if he wanted to because he is under a restricted contract. And he has already said he plans on being in orlando his entire career. I hope he means that! because us orlando fans dont need yet another great player to leave us.

here goes a 3 game losing streak thanks bhill!

i dont get this IDIOT!!

We started losing this game when BHill took Dwight out in the 4th. why would he take him out he sat out the whole 2nd quarter.

i can understand why he sat dwight the whole 2nd because he didnt want him to pick up his third which he probabaly would have. BUT I DONT KNOW WHY HE TOOK HIM OUT IN THE BEGINNING OF THE 4TH

Smith says he doesn't expect to make a trade, period. I know Otis is a smart guy and tight lipped about what he's doing. But this is a pretty clear response. Has he done this in the past? Say no to something he was actually doing? I don't remember specifically his comments before the trades last year but I don't think he ever stated something that was later shown to be false. What do you think? Otis did this when he traded Steve Francis. He said that he wasnt looking to trade Francis and a week later we got Ariza and Penny for him. So he might be lying or telling the truth you can never tell with Otis.
