    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting :</div><div class="quote_post"> Their development means more than a few more victories during a futile season. Forget about this hollow three-game winning streak. The Magic are 16-42. They are going nowhere more pleasant than the TD Waterhouse Centre parking lot. It's time to pay extra attention to the younger players.

    Their games need polishing. Their confidence needs repairing. They need to enter next season knowing they can play in the NBA, not just being glad to be in the NBA.</div>

    yea i hope reese gets to play more! he went to UofL for 4 years and was amazing!! i know he would improve some much if he could only get some more minutes! reese was an amazing player and really helped UofL out alot last year and took they very far considering how undermanned they were. i know he could do amazing if given the chance, plus hes pretty big (like 6'8 or 6'9) for a point guard.

    I completely agree.What do they have to lose?So they should play the younger players to see what they can do.Give them a chance to prove themselves.

    It said in the Orlando Sentinel that when Declerq comes back, Zaza will only see mop up minutes. Let's just keep ruining our franchise!!!!!!!!!

    The magic need to give Reece Gaines and Keith Bogans a lot more minutes, these guys can contribute if you give them a chance, the Magic are out of the playoffs and they got nothing to lose, might as well. And what is wrong with the GM he waived Grandpa strickland????

    He requested to be released.There is no use to play a unhappy player.
