Thanks Micro! Now if Orlando will cooperate, we're in business!

We outta invade their board (again) just to make sure they are on the same page as us.

It kinda sucks because we can't root for them to do well (it lowers our pick), but if they do too crappy it doesn't help us either because they'll get more lottery balls to get a chance at a top pick, and if their pick is a top one it is protected and we won't get it.

I feel what ya saying. But fear not Darth. Orlando don't know nothing bout building a franchise. Best they can do is lure talent to sunny Florida, but they don't know what to do with it when they get it.

I'm betting they finish between 8-14. If they look like they are going outside of that range, we may have to invade their board and give em a few "pointers."

Does Orlando have the option of keeping its 2007 pick if it's a lottery pick and giving us their 2008 pick?

It's only top 5 protected next year... then it's unprotected the year after.

We need some rookies so Sheed will have rookies to boss around. Sheed enjoys being the rookie helper. Not so sure the rookies like sheed's advice ,but at least they aren't neglected.

Our advance agent Lee357 has gone on ahead to plant rotations on Magic boards

Will the real Lee please stand up?

Now that would be a dream come true, first Piston from Dar es Salaam, and 7'3" to boot.
