A. Martins comments about Fran coming over (link)

[ball junkie 277]

UPDATE No. 2: According to a translated version of a Solobasket.com interview (via HoopsHype) with Alex Martins, the president of the Orlando Magic, it continues to sound like Vasquez could come over next season -- pending a lockout.

 

"Otis Smith has followed him and has frequently talked with Fran," Martins is quoted as saying. "I think he could be really close to coming to the NBA. His contract with Regal FC Barcelona ends this season and we hope he can make a decision, to know if he is ready to move to Florida. We keep his rights and if he's available, we want to see him in our roster next season."

 

With the Magic deciding against acquiring another big at the trade deadline or via a buyout, Vasquez could help shore up depth concerns for the Magic next season up front.

If anything it sounds like Fran is really going get paid next season

[Live or Die Magic 383]

It has been so long now.

 

I think it would be great to get him over here, even if it is only to develop him as an asset.

 

But I am at the point where I would need to see it to believe it.

[Penny Hardaway's Ghost 260]

Fran for the MLE ammirite?

[Captain Hi-Top 791]

I'd love to get him over here under the guise of playing for a contender, then trade him to Cleveland for a ham sandwich.

[Marc Acres 3:16 418]

I would love to bring him over as a community ambassidor and force him to work birthday party's for nearsighted children as a piniata holder.

[Perciville Jones 26]

Is he any good?

[Drain-O 369]

Wait a second.....

 

Fran, Anderson, Hedo, JJ, Arenas. We could have a full on white out next year.

[You're Fat, Pat! 98]

We coulda really used him THIS season...

 

smh

[Perciville Jones 26]

FYI, I've never seen footage of this guy before until now and we could really use him. He plays like Asik of the bulls and kindive looks like Spencer Hawes. Does he have anything other than a Blake Griffin game? Just dunks, dunks, dunks...

Wait a second.....

 

Fran, Anderson, Hedo, JJ, Arenas. We could have a full on white out next year.

 

Nothing will ever top JWill, JJ, Barnes, Anderson, Gortat

[Live or Die Magic 383]

and kindive looks like Spencer Hawes.

 

What did Spencer Hawes ever do to you?
