·Orlando Magic Roster Report
DRAFT PICK: Courtney Lee, G, 6-5, Western Kentucky -- He gives the Magic a shooting guard who actually can hit a mid-range jump shot, something they struggled to find last season. Lee, after four years at Western Kentucky, should be as NBA-ready (maturity wise) as anyone from the draft. Whether he is good enough is another question because 21 teams passed on him before the Magic made the selection. FREE AGENT FOC ...

·Pistons close out series in Detroit
Different year, different coach, different players - same Magic team. I kept to myself all year long. I didn't attend one single game. I silently set back and watched. I even swapped out Brighthouse cable for DirecTv in order to catch all the Magic games. Sucker. Even though Isaid I wouldn't spend another dime on the Magic until the ownership changes - I did. I wonder how much DirecTv paid them?
·Congrats Dwight
Dwight Howard won the 2008 Slam Dunk contest Saturday. Howard put on an amazing display of creativity and physical ability. My favorite is the tip dunk however the Superman dunk will be the one to remember for years to come.
·Ariza traded to LA for Cook, Evans
A fan favorite among many, Trevor Ariza was traded to the LA Lakers for 6'9" forward Brian Cook and 6'5" guard Maurice Evans. Included in the deal was the $2.6 million injury exception the team received for Tony Battie. Bo Outlaw was released to make roomon the roster. I hope Bo finds a spot in the Magic organization and management hinted that might be possible. It's great to have him around - maybe as a scout or ass ...
·Magic keep winning
The Magic won their seventh game on the road this season by beating the New Orleans Hornets last night. The Magic now stand at 10-2, the first team in the NBA to reach 10 victories this season. Dwight Howard was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week while averaging 23 points and13 rebounds. Hedo Turkoglu is playing the way he is capable of playing and I think this makes a big difference in the team. Hedo is a v ...
·Putting the blame where it belongs
Mike Thomas over at the Orlando Sentinel has published a very good article on the status of the Magic games on television. He seems to be the only one besides myself at putting the blame solely where it belongs. This is another reason why you won't see this Magic fan renew any season tickets until the ownership of the team changes. Check out the article, it is a good read:http://www.orlandosentinel.com/spor ts/basket ...
·Opening night
It's October 31st, Halloween. Or to most Magic fans, it's the start of a brand new season. Thank god. Well, almost. The Orlando Magic and BrightHouse had to go and screw up 75% of Central Florida's coverage area. So, most of us fans won't even be able to see the game tonight. A lot of people are coming down hard on BrightHouse for this. Usually I won't waste a good opportunity to bash them, this one lies solely on ma ...

·Adonal Foyle to the Magic
It appears that the Magic will sign free agent Adonal Foyle to a contract sometime this week. This is a pretty big signing for the Magic. Along with Marcin Gortat, Foyle will be providing backup services to Dwight Howard and Tony Battie. As I have said before, Darko was a good player - but I'm confident any decent big man would have been able to put up similar defensive numbers. Now we have two. And there just won't ...
