    D.Penigar was signed to a 10-day contract which will expire next week if I'm not wrong , or around there.

    DeClerq will also be back next week.

    What should the Magic do with him?

    -Let him go?
    -Sign for rest of the season and decide in the off-season to:
    - Re-sign Him.
    - Trade him(if signed or re-signed for more than this season.)

    I don't know I rather have Andrew in the Injured list. JD's love for Andrew is too big so He'll probably end up back in the NBDL.

    Penigar will get cut, Declerq will start again. Hunter and Zaza won't get any minutes and sit at the end of the bench with Gaines.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">There is no shoe contract, no drink endorsement. Most people aren’t clamoring for his autograph (yet), but the 10-day upgrade in watching game tapes on “a little black and white TV” in Asheville, and having the sunny-side up special on the road at a Greenville, S.C., Denny’s, has got Penigar working harder than Jordan on his comeback tour.

    While the journey here, both figuratively and literally, was not easy, Penigar has reached a point only a few thousand basketball dreamers have. He’ll try to spend the last few days of his contract proving he deserves to stay. </div>

    Cool article

    Damn lol since I put that someone backing up Gooden next season maybe we can have him there...

    Gooden will be 2nd string again next year. I bet that Juwan will stay and continue to ruin Gooden's development. Gooden needs at least 30 mins every game. He hasn't been getting that, but he's been near a double double each of the last couple of games.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">When the phone rang in forward Desmond Penigar's room at the team hotel in Boston on Sunday, he didn't know whether he'd be on the next plane back to North Carolina -- or play against the Celtics Monday night. "It was [Magic General Manager] John Gabriel, and my heart was pounding," Penigar said. "Then he said the team was signing me to another 10-day [contract]. It's been great and I hope I stay for the rest of the season." </div>

    I haven't got any true toughts on this , other than sportsrock saying he will get cut , DeClerq will start and Hunter and ZaZa will not play.

    I really don't know if we should keep him or not , he is a good rebounder , and can score.

    Gooden should start in my eyes. He's the reason we got where we did in the playoffs last year.
