    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Dear Rich,

    Haven't seen much of you around TD Waterhouse Centre lately (can't say that I blame you), so I thought I'd get you up to date on what's been going on. We have some concerns, Rich, some real concerns.

    The season is halfway over now, and the only light at the end of the tunnel looks like the headlight of an oncoming train. But I'm getting ahead of myself. First, let me fill you in on what has happened the first half of the season.

    Doc Rivers has been fired.

    Tracy McGrady has threatened to retire.

    Saddam Hussein was captured by American troops, and the first words out of his mouth when he emerged from the spider hole were: "Have the Magic won yet?"</div>

    Very good letter.. He said everything we need to do.. And hopefully it will come true.. Gabriel needs to be fired, and why not start now? We could be hurt by Gabriel going through another draft, Rich Devos needs to do something..


    Oh and before I came here, I read somewhere that DeVos was trying to the sell the Magic? You guys would know better than me, is this true?

    There was a rumor about the Devos's selling the franchise, but then they said they'd keep it. Fire Gabe! Fire Johnny, He doesn't know what he's doing.

    I agree with everyone especially sportsrock. But I have no comment on this issue.
