<div class="quote_poster">Quoting _BN_:</div><div class="quote_post">Fiction. If this team is running, I expect everyone's turnover average to signinficanly increase. F/F: Deshawn will not get enough minutes.</div> Fiction w/Cuttino slated to be the starting 2 I think Stevenson will get alot of minutes because is alot more athletic than Cuttino and is a little more versatile. Steve Francis will be moved to 2 guard before the season is over.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Dre:</div><div class="quote_post">Steve Francis will be moved to 2 guard before the season is over.</div> Fact, or at least I hope so. IMO, he's better suited for a 2 guard because he's a shoot first PG. His size might be a problem and we'd give up size, but his speed could possibly make up for it. Fact or Fiction: JD will remain our coach.

They'll give him a season to get everything workin'. Signing Hidayet Turkoglu was a mistake and he will not be what the Magic thought.
False. He is our backup in case Hill dies, and IMO, can reallly show his true potential with a suitable team. F/F Bogans is a better fit for Orlando then Stevenson.
Fact when Bogans made his debut he came out on fire. He had a very energetic style of playing and was a true born hustler every time he was on the court. Stevenson played a little nervous to me and kind of held back when he had the chance to show his stuff. IMO Bogans is better fit F/F JD won't be coaching the Magic in 5-10 years
Fiction: How often do coaches coach the same team for 5+ years? Rarely happens. F/F: Attendance will rise this season compared to 2 seasons ago. BTW-Welcome Dre. Never seen you on these boards before. The more fans the merrier.
Fact: the addition of Howard who was first pick and Jameer Nelson who has a chip on his shoulders and a more exiting team it will improve from two seasons ago. F/F: It was a good signing with Hedo and DeShawn.
Fact-both are a great addition to this team and hopefully will prove something whenever the chance given. F/F The Magic will be division champs this season
Fiction : The Division title now goes thru M-I-A-M-I. Like it or not Shaq and Co. will probably win the division by a considerable margin. The Nets are depleted,Boston won't have what it takes,New York has Steph as a leader and no center as of yet,Philly isn't a threat and Orlando is a young team that has basically been rebuilt from the ground up so realistically it should take a season to truly cement as a true team. Fact or Fiction: Battie will be a big contributor in Orlando

Fact or Fiction: Battie will be a big contributor in Orlando</div> Fact he will be a great defender and mentor for the team. He will contribute with mentor attitude to howard and great defense on the court. It will probably not show on the stat sheet, but it will happen. He will also give them a locker room leader sort of what darrel armstrong brought to the team. Something that was lost when he left . He will also give them a guy that can run on the break partnered with cato the magic will have a strong front line not to mention with howard who has shown great rebounding skill and blocking ability in the summer leagues the paint will be well protected. Fact or Fiction. The Magic will sign keon clark.
Fiction:I think they should because he could be good at times, but then we will have a lot of people playing underneath F/F: The Magic are done in the offseason
Fiction, they aren't likely to get a good replacement. F/F The Magic will have a player on the all-defensive team?
Fiction: Not this year, Howard in a cople of years will though. F/F: Weisbord will win Excutive of the year
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TwinTowers:</div><div class="quote_post">Fiction: Not this year, Howard in a cople of years will though. F/F: Weisbord will win Excutive of the year</div> Tough one, but right now I will say Fact. If the Magic make the playoffs with a sixth seed or higher. Although if the Pistons repeat you can bet that winning back 2 back titles wont be the only thing Joe Dumars will be winning back 2 back. F/F Francis will be in the starting lineup in the all star game.
fiction. I can see him falling short to Lebron James this year, but there is a chance. F/F: Franchise will make the All NBA third team?
Fiction(hopefully) Cuttino has a jumper and is a very underrated player. He can bring the magic some good and unless they trade him for a better player or get rid of him in andrew d. in a great trade then i don't see this happening. Fact or Fiction The magic are going to be overrated soon
Fiction: They are are going to be underrated till they make the playoffs then everyone will know they are here to stay for a while F/F: The Magic will be a dynasty
