The Orlando Magic have signed free agent forward Michael Bradley, General Manager John Weisbrod announced today. Per team policy, terms of the deal are not disclosed. Bradley (6?10?, 245, 4/18/79) played in 16 games last season with both Toronto and Atlanta, averaging 0.9 ppg. and 1.4 rpg. in 6.1 minpg. He opened the season on the Injured List due to right knee tendinosis and missed a total of 59 games. Bradley played in five outings with the Raptors before being waived on Mar. 12. He signed as a free agent with Atlanta on Mar. 18. Selected in the first round (17th overall) of the 2001 NBA Draft by Toronto, Bradley has appeared in 109 regular season games during his NBA career with Toronto and Atlanta, averaging 3.5 ppg. and 4.2 rpg. in 14.3 minpg. </div> Link These were both good signings IMO, they add depth to the roster. Does anyone know anything else about Kasun, and I posted the bradley signing because no one else did.
I saw Kasun coming..he looks better than DeClerq at least lol..Sportsrock predicted this.. I just don't get Bradley..I rather sign Britton Johnsen..than that guy..it'll be about the same I just think Johnsen is more athletic...and we've seen him play.
I really am glad that we signed Kasun. He will be a good body for us. I just hope he can move Declerq off the active roster this year. He has good potential and it's glad that he finally made the team after 3 years of trying.
I'm not too thrilled about the Michael Bradley signing myself. I know that the guy might have huge potential, but the truth is that he can't stay healthy. We don't need any more guys like that on our team. As far as Kasun, I'll have to admit that I have never seen the guy play, so I can't really pass judgment at this point in time. I think that both of these players are going to be on the far end of the bench, so I don't think that they'll see much action and probably won't make much impact if anything. At this point, I think that the Magic are just trying to fill their roster.
Kasun will be a force to be reckoned with. In the summer league he was fire and great choice by the Magic staff to sighn him. Hopefully Andrew will find play elsewhere giving Kasun some time to shine.
Not a real surprise there with Kasun. Interesting upsession with centers coming from the managment. I see a trade coming... I also bet Magic will sign Snap Hunter sometime soon. JD seemed really exided about him... Oh yeah, and Bradley can be a decent filler if someone drops out from the rotation. I've heard some good things about him from Raptor fans...

I hope Snap can find his way on another teams roster this year.
I don't think we'll sign Snap Hunter anytime soon..since the Phoenix Suns signed him...he'll be a good player there..I bet you he will be leading shot-blocker at Phoenix.

I don't like this guy much by what I have heard and I'm glad that the Magic have a very open-ended contract with this guy meaning that they could get rid of him at any given time. Unfortunately, I never watch the Raptors so I can't comment on his play, but anyone that has such a hard time staying healthy is not going to really benefit this team (see Grant Hill). <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Anton:</div><div class="quote_post">Very nice, what are the changes we'll get Luigi as well?</div> I laughed :mrgreen: :thumbsup:
