First, incompetent head coach Brian Hill was fired and replaced with Stan Van Gundy (after Billy Donovan back stabbed the Magic, but that?s another article for another time). Smith also wanted to make some personnel changes and had tons of cap room, several second round picks, and multiple free agent options at his fingertips. At the draft, the Magic traded all of their selections and focused solely on the free agent market. That?s when the biggest move happened. Acquiring scorer Rashard Lewis from the Sonics in a sign and trade deal that sent a future second round pick to Seattle. Lewis then signed a max deal and while Orlando overpaid for the forward, his scoring should still improve this team and turns the Magic into a threat in the East. Other changes made this offseason include: Grant Hill fleeing to Phoenix in an attempt to win a championship, Travis Diener signing with Indiana so he can actually play in games rather than just watching them from the Magic bench, and Darko Milicic leaving for Memphis to get more money. After all of these changes, nobody is sure how the team will fare and we will just have to wait and see. Here are some must see Magic games that every NBA fan needs to tune in for this season.</div> Read On
A few actually. I wanna see how we match up against Detroit and I can't wait to see the Memphis-Orlando matchup. I think this year will be more exciting than last. What matchup are you looking forward to?
Good article Swish. I can't wait to see Dwight go up against Al Horford, that is one of the matchups that I'm looking the most forward to. I just want basketball to start ASAP!
<div class="quote_poster">Swish Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I can't wait to see Oden vs. Howard, Celtics vs. Magic, and Raptors vs. Magic because of the bet. </div> I hope Howard can give Bosh a little more compition It's been Bosh over Howard for a while. It's almost to easy for him.
<div class="quote_poster">Swish Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Haha, just wait until this year. Is Bosh working out with Ewing? Didn't think so. </div> PFFFF Ewing? What has he ever done Still, even with Ewing, Bosh can't be stopped by Howard, it's to much for him to handle.
