FOUR NEWBIES & BO

The magic have signed five players to fill out their training camp roster. The only two that would seem to have any chance of being around when the season begins are Bo outlaw or Terrance Morris. Although I would have liked to see them go after Songalia or even Laettner, somehow it does feel good to have Bo back. Nostalgia can make one feel a little better but it's not likely to translate into winning any additional games.

D-12 SEVENTH BEST N.B.A. CENTER?

According to CBS sports who rank NBA players at their respective positions, our Dwight Howard would project to be the seventh best center in the league this season. They decided to rank him as a center, opposed to a power forward,becaause they anticipate he will spend significant time there. This is significant because the team so far has not picked up a talented enough big to accomodate the move. Does CBS sports know something that we don't know? In any case, the ranking means that if Dwight was to play center, they would rate him above twenty two other starting centers! Pretty significant for a player who hasn't played even one important minute in that position. Major props for mr. Howard even if he remains at his current spot.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE AT T.D.?

That is the question. Yesterday,the Magic had their open house at T.D. waterhouse center. There were autographs,free soft drinks, and some Magic players to chat with. All very nice. Of course the main goal was to sell tickets and there's nothing wrong with that. Do the Magic deserve your hard earned money based on the product they're selling? Have they made a valid attempt to upgrade the team this off season? Some of you [including myself] could probably make a case that the answer is "no". I for one have my season tickets and will faithfully attend the games. I will go because i'm a Magic fan and want to support my team. I intend to continue to write both the good and the bad about this team when warranted. What everyone in this town needs to realize is Orlando is very fortunate to have an n.b.a. team here. The Magic help to make us a major league city. If they were to leave because of poor fan support, it would truly be crime that this town didn't realize the importance of this fact. Lets do all we can to support our team!

MAGIC OLDIES BUT GOODIES?

There is a piece in the magic real g.m. forums that has Otis Smith saying the team might sign Bo outlaw back. If this is true,i'm into nostalgia as much as the next guy, and Bo was certainly a fan favorite that gave 100%. But if we are looking to bring former players back home,lets raise our sites a little higher. Why not bring back shaq, tracy,chauncy,big ben,cuttino,cory magette etc.,etc.,etc. It's enough to make a grown man cry. Nostalgia is fine, but winning is much better! Lets look ahead for our answers. The future for this team is NOW!!!

THAT'S ALL FOLKS!......IT WOULD APPEAR AS IF THE MAGIC ARE DONE WHEELING AND DEALING THIS OFF SEASON AND HAVE MADE SO MANY BLOCKBUSTER MOVES I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN.SERIOUSLY,THE ONLY MOVE MADE WAS AQUIRING KEYON DOOLING FROM THE HEAT. I BELIEVE THIS WILL TURN OUT WELL FOR THE MAGIC AS KEYON WILLBRING MUCH ENTHUSIASM AND ENERGY.IF ANY OTHER PLAYERS ARE BROUGHT IN IT WILL MOST LIKELYBE TO FILL IN THE TRAINING CAMP ROSTER AND SUCH PLAYERS WILL HAVE LITTLE OR NO CHANCE TO MAKE THE FINAL ROSTER.
