<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Free agent forward Michael Bradley, who missed most of last season with tendinitis in his right knee, signed with the Orlando Magic on Thursday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Bradley played in just 16 games for Toronto and Atlanta last season, averaging 0.9 points and 1.4 rebounds. He opened the season on the injured list and missed the first 59 contests.</div> <div align="center">Link</div>
Bradley is a decent player when he's healthy. He'll do a lot of the garbage work. He has no shot so he gets all his points on putbacks but he'll play hard for you guys.
We love to have more injured scrubs on our roster! Well hopefully he can contribute at least 1 pt a game for us this year.
Bradley was injured last season and fell into Toronto's doghouse, but he played pretty well in his sophomore season. As Eclipse stated, he is a garbage player who doesn't need a lot of shots and hustles on defense. Basically, he is just a younger version of Andrew Declerq.
Nice signing IMO. If Bradley bulks up a bit and stays healthy he can be a role player in the rotation andprovide some rebounding and blocking. And now we finally got a guy over 7ft(Bradley's 7'6, 280 pounds). Weisbrough is going to make Shaq's life very difficult. Orlando now has 4(not including Kasun) defensive minded centers with some shotblocking/rebounding ability. That's definetely an upgrade from last season. I like having deph at 1 and 5, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some of our centers moved for a better big men... Solid move by Weis even if he keeps Bradley... Our Possible Lineup: PG: S.Francis/J.Nelson SG: C.Mobley/K.Bogans SF: G.Hill/H.Turk PF: D.Howard/P.Garrity C: Cato/T.Battie/S.Bradley/A.DeClerq Again, one or two of our 5's looking like they are going to be moved...

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Trip:</div><div class="quote_post">Umm, this is Michael Bradley we're talking about, not Shawn.</div> Oh s***. Well that sucks b**** a**... I got all exided about nothing . **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** Now it makes sence... seemed sort of weird that Magic signed S.Bradley, since he wasn't a free agent agent and had last played on the Mavs not Raps... F*** Weisbrough I hope that wasn't the f****** vets min we signed the guy for... What a f****** r*****! F***!!!
6'10" 225 ? Sounds like another Britton Johnsen to me. He's also a career 52% Free Throw shooter. I understand that he may have an upside, but I really question this one.
I just read Bradley signed a partially guaranteed contract and that he might not even make the opening day roster. It's a no lose situation.

This guy won't make the team and will probably end up getting injured anyways, so if there are any Michael Bradley fans out there, don't get your hopes up. Your boy is probably on his way to the free agent pool.
he's better than you guys think he is and you need all the help you can get most of you guys have never seem him play, I've watched him and he isn't that bad when he's heathy (which is a big question mark), he was a good college player too. He won't be a superstar or anything but he'll do the little things.
Even if he gets healthier there is no way he will compete with a player like Shaq. Look at Yao Ming he is same height and he cant mesure to Shaq.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Eclipse:</div><div class="quote_post">he's better than you guys think he is and you need all the help you can get </div> Better than the guys that we have on the roster right now in the frontcourt? I doubt it. Statistics don't lie, this guy is a jobber and won't make the Orlando roster, except maybe as a 13th or 14th guy that sits on the injured reserve and never suits up.
