    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Magic have competition for free-agent center Mark Blount of the Boston Celtics. It's coming from South Florida. The Miami Heat are interested and might have a leg up. Blount lists his primary residence as Boca Raton. "I just love the warm weather there in the summertime," he said. Heat prez Pat Riley is warning Blount about the cold fronts that sweep through Orlando in August.</div>

    That would be a great pickup for Orlando, no more Andrew DeClercq as our starting center. [​IMG]

    From reading the article, it appears he's headed for Miami.

    Maybe.. I think Blount is underrated for the great year, but I have a feeling we will do what we did for Lue, over pay him, give him a starting spot, and be in trouble once again.. Dont make him Overrated.. Please..

    I say they just sign Bong and Joint. That would be a good trio.

    Blount is a solid center. Nothing too special, he gets the job done though. As long as he would start over Declerq I would be happy.

    Yea , we should let DeClerq go or have him as a 3rd PF or C..even tough I'll still have ZaZa or Hunter over him.

    Blount would be great for us , either starting at C or backing up Okafor at C [​IMG] .
