But you don't realize that both of those guys fit in with the Magic system. They will mesh well with McGrady. The Magic will have the 4th best record in the East next year.

Regardless of whether they fit the Magic system, is not noteworthy in this forum. Had this been posted in the Magic forum it would be appropriate, but this is not for the regular NBA forum.

Since Gooden and Gordon are now not rookies - but have a 1/2 year experience with their new team, they'll only get better with camp and pre season games.
I hope that Reece and Bogans will be able to contribute right away - but I am aware that they are rookies!
So, TMAC "might" finally have some help. After all, Kobe has had Shaq since his first year - why shouldn't TMac have someone NOT nearly as dominant as Shaq has been for Kobe???
Why on earth would you begrudge the guy some help? Talk about "hating" - I am shocked to see how anyone would begrudge a player like TMac getting a decent to very good teammate!

Mights and mays! You are the main one who will bold users post especially when they use the words "if" "might" or "may." therefore you should understand why I counter argue this thread. So I'll dismiss your post as Magic fan talking as usual Rifleman. I am not hating on Tmac is this post, If anything I'm hating on the thread starter because this thread doesn't belong in this forum, nor is it noteworthy IMO.
Reece Gaines was a very good pick in this draft, but he's not the Magic saviour.
And BTW, Tmac had a great player on his team way back when. He chose to leave so don't complain about the decisions your guy has made that have set him back.

I dont really know who that SF is, but that should be interesting nonetheless.
Magic have quickly become one of my favorite teams to watch.

It's Vladimir Radmanovic from Seattle who will probably be traded because he wants to start. He doesn't want to play 12 minutes at the SF position. He is a SF not a PF like Seattle is trying to play him. He would be awesome next to TMac and Gooden. And Bogans would be your back 2G. If Armstrong leaves they can find a back-up PG like Kenny Anderson or someone for cheap.

Thanks for keeping it real Deebo. You and I are almost always on the opposite side of the fence. For you to come and back me on it not really being newsworthy, should erase thoughts of me hating because I'm not.
Like I've said, Gaines was a good pick. He may be the player the Magic need to improve, who knows?
Bogan on the other hand, IMO, was nothing more than a very good college player. I went to school with Bogans at Dematha High. This was when Joe Forte and him were Sophomores and I was a Senior. Keith and I are the a year apart. I always thought Joe was a much better player, both in highschool, college, and on the blacktop. Keith looked like a man playing with boys, mainly becuase he was older than his competition. When you 17 years old, playing against 13 and 14 year olds you tend to stand out. I didn't think anything was special about Keith when he was at UK until his senior year, but even then he was basically a good player, nothing great about him. Once he enters the NBA, I expect him to be nothing more than a guy who "might" improve a teams bench. I dont think he'll be an allstar, but I could be wrong, who knows? Everyone is entitled to his own opinion and this is mine.

.....!
I also dont want to hear, you same fans complaining about the Magics not having enough good players around Tmac should they not do well next year. It's the same ol' story.
Yes, you DID SAY that you didn't think the author of this thread had any newsworthy topic.
BUT you also said this: see underlined part of YOUR words.

It's not newsworthy. Its completely and overly prehyped.
Good picks for the Magic, other teams had good picks, why is this newsworthy especially outside of the magic or NBA"DRAFT" forums?
You guys get your hopes up everyyear, with the changes Orlando makes. Past 3 years they've come up short then you renig on all the prehype. Instead of acknowledging Tmacs something like 20 something for 70 some shots in the final three games you blame his teammates, year before that, Tmac got outplayed in every critical moment of the playoffs by Baron Davis and you all blamed his teammates. Sounds like a set up for the same old recipe, unless you are a Magic fan.
Just let the team play and once they get the job done, hype it then.
"It feels great to finally get out of the first round!" 
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah,
But you spoke to soon, buddy!

Hmm...Radmanovic to Orlando ?
I know some think he's 'on the block', but Sonics management said they hadn't given up on him yet. The Magic would have to give us something nice for him....

THAT would be basketball heaven for me, as I really like Odom - a whole lot. Having him as the Magic sf would just be too good to be true.
