Thank you very much, that was exactly my point all along! This thread does not belong in the NBA forum.

There is NOTHING wrong with that. Everybody does it. "WTF" is a perfectly fine thing to say on a message board. It could stand for "What The Freak?" or other things. Just a suggestion from me, it seems WAY TOO EXTREME to edit that.

I bet we could go into just about every forum on this site and find WTF unedited. It's all good though, I except it because I'm da playa that they love to hate!

the magic better not keep vaughn. We really need to get a good big man in free agency and we'll definitly take the east.
PJ Brown, Brad Miller, or Rasho Nesterovic!!!!

We won't "take" the East. We'll most likely play 2nd fiddle to Detroit until we find a way to dump Hill and his contract (or until he comes back playing 100%).

The Magic had a great draft and I'm very excited about next season.
Not only that, but they will have the MLE, DPE, VPE, a 1.3 million dollar TPE and the vets minimum to use on FAs.
Gabe, Devos and Doc have a good chance to turn the Magic into a contender this year if they find the right pieces in free agency and/or trades. They already started out right in the draft. Gaines is going to contribute right away. ZaZa may not make the team, but his future with the club is bright. He is only 18 and most have compared him to a young Divac. Bogans was a good pick just because the Magic got him for money. He will challenge Sasser for a roster spot. All 3, Gaines Bogans and ZaZa were steals because Gaines was a top 10 player in the draft, but landed at 15, ZaZa was a projected top 20 pick, but landed at 42 for the Magic and Bogans was landed for just 250 thousand dollars. Very good draft indeed.
Kasun is a overseas project for the Magic that could make the team this year. I hear he has massive potential and since he is only 19, he still has a lot of time to grow as a player. You may see him on the team this year or next year with ZaZa.
Can't wait for the season to start. If everything falls into place and the Magic stay injury free for most of the season, they will have a great shot at the division title and at least making it to the ECFs. Maybe even the NBA finals.

I like the strides to improve the Magic are making as well. But if you think we'll be in the Finals this year or next year, you're out of your d@mn mind!  |

Why don't you think they can make the Finals next year O-Town? The Magic almost beat the Pistons, who you admitted was their biggest competition. Next year, I bet you Gaines will have a much bigger impact than Darko. Also, the Magic have a chance to add a decent center. They can definitely make it, especially if Kidd is gone.

Depends on who they can get in free agency? IMO the Magic would have went to the ECFs if they would have got past the Pistons. If they can get a decent center and some more depth, then they will have a shot to go deep into the playoffs.
The Magic had the 2nd best record in the east after the trade. Gooden and Giricek should be better this year. McGrady should be better this year. Add Gaines Kasun/or ZaZa and 4 to 5 decent FAs, while also re-signing Armstrong and Declercq, your looking a very deep team and one that could go the distance.
