<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Orlando Sentinel - Otis Smith told the Orlando Sentinel that Assistant General Manager Dave Twardzik met with Fran Vazquez recently in Spain. Smith doesn't expect him to play for the Magic next season, but he is optimistic Vazquez will join Orlando "the following season [2007-08], for sure." </div> Finally, our wait is over!
Note that he says he is optimistic about Vazquez coming in the 2007-2008 season. Now contract-wise, I have no clue what they will work out, but it's good to know he probably is coming soon...
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TM1_KB8_D12:</div><div class="quote_post">Finally, out wait is over! </div> Don't be ridiculous. First of all, the "wait" is still a year, assuming this is true, which it isn't, and Fran isn't going to do anything that Mario Kasun couldn't do even if he does come over.

Fran is playing against some of the best competition overseas. He was actually putting up basically the same numbers that Pau Gasol did in the same league. I think Fran would be a good player if he comes over, nothing great, but not a guy that's constantly on the injured list and just a garbage player. I've never seen him play though, so for all I know he will be like that, but I think he would be a solid bench player.
Exactly. We don't need him. All though hes a good player, imagine the bad chemistry with the rest of the team. We could always trade him for a good pick and some cash. Cuz cash is always good lol
We're in the same situation as the sixers, except a lot younger. We have everything but a SG. Fran gives us much needed depth up front but there's no guarantee that he'll actually matter even if he does come over (and I'm doubtful about that.) PG: 1. Jameer 2. Arroyo 3. Dooling SG: 1. Draft Pick 2. Stevenson (hopefully) SF: 1. Hedo 2. Hill 3. Ariza (seeing some real time) PF: 1. Dwight 2. Fran C: 1. Battie 2. Darko Whatever else goes on, we'll see.
I dont care for him, you dont just up and leave a team that drafts you in the NBA. Its not some some euro club, uve been given a chance to play with the greatest players in the world and you listen to your woman and stay back. Bad choice, i hope we trade him.
