One last clarification to answer some's questions. First, billy is not the worst offender with his post although I disagreed about the arrogance stereotype. The most offensive were all French people smell bad, I know because I'm British and it's ok to hate Batum because he's French. I used to enjoy...

No, she studied for it and took the test in Portland. You can automatilcally get residence which you also need to apply for but it's not given without medical tests, background checks and knowledge of basic American government and history. I am very, very proud of her. Being married speeds up the p...

check hoopshype cmeese, these are not last years figures, they list both last years and the cap holds which are the figures I posted. Some do not have cap hold figures so you can only list what's available. Most have their cap holds in the second column. Siccolo steered me to the site. All of the c...

Thought it was time given the current state of angst on the boards to revisit this thread and I'd like to give a shout out to Terry Stotts, Paul Allen and Neil Olshey. Thanks to all of these guys for taking so much flak from so many disgruntled fans and continuing to move ahead with the process of ...

It takes a hell of a coach to man a 10 man rotation Stotts is not experienced or demanding enough to pull it off.
I couldn't disagree more, again with the "we're not good enough, we're going to fail...

The verdict is still out on who got the best deal, LA, Denver and Chicago lost key players and made the playoffs. A 20 win season last year makes the Magic still a terrible team but one with potential to build a good team but you're right about them being a few years from having an impact in the ea...

With all the draft buzz that's coming up, I think you'll see us trade the pick for a legit center. We may draft for another team to get that center which is the same as a trade. Olshey hinted at that before he went to Europe to talk to a couple players. We may pick up a project in the 2nd round lik...

I give a lot of credit to Stotts for weathering a 13 game losing streak but giving our raw rookies experience even though the teams beating us at the time were playing their starters against our rookies. All of our rookies were overthinking the game. Victor did the little things that don't show up ...
