Re: Foyle Agrees To Terms With Orlando
Not really, most Warriors fans wish Foyle the best...he played hard for the Warriors, even if he wasn't that good. Dunleavy's the one we were bitter about.

He simply did NOT fit in GS system. He is not an up and down big, and he won't be running as much in Orlando as had to in GS.
don't take away his defensive numbers in limited minutes, and for what we need... he is a great pick up. i'm going to just assume from here on out that the warrior fans posting in this thread know nothing about the Orlando organization and what our situation and team needs are. i hope that i will be proven otherwise, but i sincerely doubt it. it's too bad you dont even know your own players and how they fit into your own system.
other boards that i contribute to have warrior fans that actually understand the situation and have admittedly said that they feel like he wasn't a right fit for what they want to do on the court. GS is looking to stay smaller and quicker, whereas we are looking for a big that has a mean streak and can pound the inside defensively. A player like Biedrins that can run with the rest of the team is what you are looking for, not us. With Battie being as soft as a pillow, we need someone like Foyle to be in our rotation... and with the $$ that we had available, this was a steal.
can any warrior fans out there make a better arguement than  on why this is NOT a great deal for Orlando?
yes... this is calling you all out.

Re: Foyle Agrees To Terms With Orlando
Of course Foyle wasn't a fit for the Warriors and would be a much better fit for the Magic. We know this and we've never denied this (you imply that we don't realize this even after watching so many years of Foyle's basketball, which is rather silly). We're just saying that he's not as good as some Magic fans think he is (especially with the earlier posts in this topic).

you also never bothered to mention it... or any warrior fans for that matter.
that's all i wanted to hear.
we understand he isn't amare, but at the same time... he fills a HUGE void (no pun intended), and will be servicable the entire season...
a great pick up doesn't equate to a great player
i feel like a broken record player, because i along with other Magic fans here have said time and time again that this wasn't great because we now have franchise player, etc. but we were able to improve our depth with the best option available for just about nothing ($$)
ENJOY HATERS!!!
Foyle Mix, HATER friendly as well...

Re: Foyle Agrees To Terms With Orlando
Okay, cool, so we don't really disagree at all. Other than the fact that I think the Magic have a solid pickup in Foyle, not a great pickup. Just think you guys are overestimating his abilities. His blocking ability is certainly great, but his rebounding is average. And he's not quite the veteran leadership you would expect (although that's fine with the cheap deal).
By the way, you can also find YouTube videos of Foyle shooting air balls and getting posterized by Amare, so what you've linked to is not at all biased (and neither is this comment).

It was uncalled for.

Ambivalence
I miss the cocks that shout out loud
Arise, arise you wretched sloth.
The day has dawned and passeth by
Dragging night's drape across the cloud.
I miss the beach, the sand that's pure.
The water that makes the land secure.
Its reef, a quilt with blinding hews,
Adorns the painted mystic view.
I miss the pain I ever hate
Whips and ropes, my haunting fate.
One does not only love the good,
But grows in disdain, misunderstood.
I miss the face of those trusted few.
Whose love was but a weakness too.
Home, illusion of bucolic paradise,
The rosy dew, and stinging lies.
Adonal Foyle
