    Are you kidding me? The entire franchise is going to revolve on some two bit players in the expansion draft and them not getting picked!?!?

    Someone shoot me please!

    ESPN reported the deal is done contingent on the expansion draft. They also said the Steve has no leverage.

    Who could this be besides Mo? Pike's gone, seriously doubt Griffin's a sticking point (he's unprotected, right?). Is Ollie part of this? Who did Orlando leave unprotected?

    they haven't said anything about a second magic player. I'm thinking there has to be a second player, Gooden, Hill, or Howard...

    I would imagine that they'd work something else out if some two bit player got picked.:D

    Or at least, I hope they could.:( :)

    I don't understand how Kevin Ollie is the bottleneck in a Francis-TMac deal? I thought that there were two separate trades?

    Even with the trade exception, it seems like we need another big contract from Orlando if we are giving them two super sized contracts (Francis and Cato) and one medium-sized contract (Mobley). I have to think Juwan Howard is included in this.

    Orlando Magic: Reece Gaines, PG; Britton Johnsen, SF; Zaza Pachulia, C; DeShawn Stevenson, SG

    So Maybe Reece Gaines is the guy we're wanting?
