Orlando Magic News & Notes: Heat-Magic Rivalry, Barnes Destinations

AUTHOR: | IN: NBA Draft, News | COMMENTS: None Yet

Chris Tomasson of NBA Fanhouse takes a look at the soon-to-be revived rivalry between the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat. That has added fuel to the rivalry in recent years. Van Gundy was the Heat’s coach to start the 2005-06 season until Riley, the team president, shoved him to the side to take over on the bench and lead Miami to the title. There’s been bad blood between the two ever since. But it wasn’t Van Gundy or Riley who, well, offered more heat to the rivalry shortly after James announced last Thursday night he would join Bosh and Wade [...]

Orlando Magic Free Agency Roudup

They still have a decision to make on whether or not they are going to match the Chicago Bulls’ offer to J.J. Redick and we will find out what the Magic plan to do on Friday. There are also some other rumblings and rumors. Matt Barnes found out about the Quentin Richardson and Chris Duhon signings the same way the rest of us did and he was not pleased. Richardson’s deal is worth about [...]

Team JJ: A Female’s Plea To Save Redick

AUTHOR: | IN: Free Agency, Orlando Magic, Satire | COMMENTS: None Yet

  As all Magic fans continue to waiver and wonder if J.J. Redick will return next season, I decided to revisit a post that was originally written on MagicBasketballOnline at the conclusion of last season.   At the time, most of the blogosphere had taken to the annual passage of grading and reviewing the previous season’s team and players.  I decided to take a different angle at this yearly yardstick and present an outside, female opinion of a specific player, J.J. Redick.  As a white male, average height, whose main basketball skill is hitting jump shots, it doesn’t take much to [...]

Quentin Richardson Press Conference

AUTHOR: | IN: Media Availabilty, Orlando Magic, Pressers | COMMENTS: None Yet

On Tuesday afternoon, the Orlando Magic held a press conference in the media room of the RDV Sportsplex to introduce Orlando’s newest wing, Quentin Richardson. Alongside General Manager Otis Smith, Richardson fielded questions from the media. There is video of Richardson’s press conference posted here so I’ll spare you the full transcript and instead just hit some of the high points while posting Richardson’s answers to the questions I was fortunate enough to be able to ask him. All of this can be found after the jump.

Orlando Magic News & Notes: Q-Rich, Barnes, J.J.

AUTHOR: | IN: News, Orlando Magic | COMMENTS: None Yet

Magic Head Coach Stan Van Gundy is happy with the Richardson signing. “Quentin’s a great addition for us,” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. “I really like him.” It is believed that Richardson signed a multiyear deal — likely three years — for between $7.5 million to $8 million. He received what remained of the Magic’s midlevel exception after the club signed point guard Chris Duhon last week. Brian Schmitz has that story here. Tim Povtak of NBA Fanhouse says the arrival of Quentin Richardson marks the end of Matt Barnes’ tenure in Orlando. Magic general manager Otis Smith confirmed [...]
