What's Otis Got Up His Sleeve: During his exit interviews with the media Magic GM Otis Smith pledged that he'd be looking at tweaks of his roster, not major changes. Saying his club was "Inches away. Not miles."

 

As mentioned above, it doesn't seem Otis is sticking to his plan of tweaks not overhauls

[Penny Hardaway's Ghost 260]

that's crazy, the Magic have also cut the price on all Dwight Howard, Jameer Nelson, JJ Redick, Rashard Lewis and MP gear, the whole team is up for grabs!!!

I think Barnes is gone. It's too bad, like the guy and his energy. But Otis obviously feels he can draft a guy at 29 who can replace him. He doesn't like re-signing his own players.

[Penny Hardaway's Ghost 260]

yea, that Mo Evans things came back to bite us, same with Keyon Dooling and Carlos Arroyo...

[Progfrog 18]

Don't give a **** about JWill. I was never thrilled about recruiting him to begin with.

 

A shame about Barnes though.

 

He's well rounded and he brought the Magic some grit.

 

We'll see, though I'm not holding my breath.

[Diplo 12]

Yeah Barnes is gone...I can see J-Will being back if he's ok being 3rd string

[Debonair 106]

i knew barnes wasnt gonna get resigned. **** shame too.

I hope Barnes can come back although he's been a true journeyman so far.

[jack daniel 999 27]

Would hate to see Barnes go ..

 

but JWill is expendable

maybe Otis is onto something though, with the exception of Arroyo-all 3 players mentioned had their best statistical seasons with Orlando...and all 3 declined after they left Orlando. Maybe he see's the same in Barnes. I hope he stays though. Maybe he wont opt out?
