From DALLAS to ORLANDO! (NBA Live 06)

[Anthony15]

Sure, it is a decline position. You may not accept changing team. But if you are fired, you can go to another team or quit dynasty. I really didn't understant what keepnitgangsta1 wanted to say..

Yea lol, i'm not rally getting it myself

[Cornerthree]

Nice draft
GL in the FA signing...

[Jing]

pretty nice coverage of the draft

[Marquis]

Thanks guys. Here is some more update

[Marquis]

RESIGNING PERIOD


ORLANDO MAGIC didn't resign Deshawn Stevenson


Deshawn Stevenson was the best free agent in our team after this year.
New Magic GM decided that he is not needed for the team.
"We drafted very perspective SG, so need to give more minutes to him.
Also Stevenson was asking too much money" - GM of the Magic said.
With money, left not resigning this player, we are willing to sign better FA.


ORLANDO MAGIC didn't resign Mario Kasun


We decided not to resign croatian big man Mario Kasun for many reasons.
He was not demonstrating good stats previous season. Also need to save some money.
Also drafted Johny Yang will replace him perfectly.


ORLANDO MAGIC didn't resign Pat Garrity


This was the last season for this veteran in our team.
We are willing to create the team of perspective guys.
So this player is not having future in our team.


ORLANDO MAGIC didn't resign Terence Morris


This player was released and was no negotiations with him.
I think he is just too weak in the league, also we are willing to sign better FA's


ORLANDO MAGIC resigned Darko Milicic


Darko Milicic was resigned with the Magic to new deal.
We were surprised by his play at the last season after the trade away from Detroit.
We think that he has bright future in the league, so we are happy to resigned him.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Signing period is coming

Now all the teams are waiting for the signings.
So Magic are also willing to sign someone important.
They have about 11 millions free cap space.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Cornerthree]

Nice signings!!
Can't wait till the FA signings...

[hova-]

Nice update, cool magazine, a lil bit hard to read the dark writing, but very cool !
You resigned Darko, that´s pretty ok, he isn´t that bad, quite the opposite, he is a little bit hyped.
You didn´t resign DeShawn Stevenson....... it´s a risk you probably wanted to take, because rookies can be so awful in live.

So my questions:

How much space do you have below the cap ?
And how much money did DeShawn want ?

[Marquis]

Thanks
Yeah I realised that the text is a bit dark at the bottom

Stevenson wanted 24 mil deal for 6 years.
And my salary cap was about 11 millions before FA signings.
Stay tuned. I signed some good free agents, much better than Stevenson

[Anthony15]

Good releases, except DeShawn, I don't think anyone would help u that much. GL in FA's signing!

[Mark.]

Yeah I would have kept DeShawn, but thats just me, hes a great open court players and his physical abilities are pretty decent too, good base to build on

[kibaxx7]

I would have kept DeShawn too, but, hey, it's your choice, you're the GM Nice that you resigned Darko. Looking forward to the FA signing!

[YoG!]

who are the top FA's?

[Marquis]

I was hesitating to resign him or not, but finally i didn't resign him, because there were lots of guards in our team: some generated rookies, this year rookie, also Dooling able to play at SG.
Thierry², good luck today vs Barca
YoG!, I'll post them soon. Really big names here

[Marquis]

Here is only the best free agents.
Sorry for the crappy update, all the stuff in the signings.

[Mark.]

LeBron James!! Why didnt he resign with Cleveland?

[Marquis]

Probably because of the unsuccessful end of the playoffs for the Cavs

[Marquis]

JAMES SENSATIONALLY SIGNS WITH RAPTORS, MAGIC GRABS DIAW




Orlando Magic:
We are very happy that we signed these 3 players, especially Boris Diaw.
This guy keeps progressing, play very good at defense and is very versatile.
So he will fit in our team perectly. But one serious question: what postion he will play?
Only preseason games will solve this problem. Diaw seemed also happy with his new team.
Another player, signed by the Magic is Jared Jeffries, previous Wizards player.
He will bring strength from the bench, he also able to play SF or PF positions.
There is no doubt that he will be really useful for our team.
The last purchase by Magic is undrafted rookie Vic Tam from this year class.
Sure he will get limited minutes, but we believe that he will proghress in the future.





Toronto Raptors:
Toronto Raptors today have anounced that they sogned superstar LeBron James.
This was one of the biggest signings during the several years, if not the biggest.
LeBron probably disappointed with not successful playoffs end, decided to leave Cleveland.
So Raptors, having the biggest free salary cap managed to convince James to proceed his carrier here.
He will definitely strengthen their SF position and will make amazing combo with Chris Bosh.
Also they signed Keith Bogans and Zoran Planinic. Two bench players able to do his job perfectly.
SO now Raptors roster looks very perfect: Bosh, Villanueva, James, Peterson, also
1st pick of this year draft Armon Brewer at PG. And Graham at the bench. Contenders??





Houston Rockets:
Houston Rockets had pretty good signing period in this offseason signing 3 players.
Lorenzen Wright, Eddie House and Sasha Pavlovic. These player will bring strength.
They all will play from the bench, so leaving Alston, Swift and Black in their positions.
With healthy McGrady and Yao this team hopes to go far this year.





New Orleans Hornets:
They signed former Maverick Josh Howard. We are very happy with our new member of the team.
Hoping he will do that good as he did in Dallas. He will be starting 5 player.
Disappointed Mavs are now looking for good replace for this player.

Atlanta Hawks:
Nick Collison is the new player of the team, going from Seattle to Atlanta.
Hawks coach said he will be good bench player and hopes good game from him.

Milwaukee Bucks:
Seems that Milwaukee is strengthening his froncourt.
Sweetney hopes he will get more playing time than in Chicago.



WASHINGTON TRADED SOME PLAYERS






Washington Wizards traded 5th pick of the draft Theo Gibson to Sonics for Ndudi Ebi.
Washington Wizards traded Antonio Daniels to New Orleans Hornets for Hedo Turkoglu.

Good signings !!
Boris Diaw is way better than DeShawn Stevenson if you manage to train his athleticism ...... Jared Jeffries can be a beast at the defensive end ... and this rookie, well I cant say anything about him !

Bron makes it to the Raptors... well, that shows a weak character, he should have stayed in Cleveland and make a next try after the finals vs dallas.

Josh Howard to New Orleans is big, but since "CP3" is in Cleveland, they wont win anything !

Looks cool, I love progressed dynasties (hope I can update mine, been busy with school)
Good Luck this season Marquis !!

[Jing]

hm trading that 5th pick.. big mistake muahha.

[Isaiah]

LeBron to TORONTO?! the start of a new era up North of the border!

EXCELLENT SIGNINGS!! really made use of your cap room...

you didnt resign a lot of the Magic's long-time players, so i look forward to the new-look Orlando Magic roster this coming season. and great coverage btw.

[Anthony15]

LeBron to Toronto. How could u not sign him!??? I think ur dynasty would be great if u signed LeBron. But Boris and Jared will help u a lot!

[kibaxx7]

Wow Bron Bron to Toronto! They have a really good team now. But I think you signed 2 good players in Diaw and Jeffries, and they can help you.

[Mark.]

Well there goes the Cavs future for awhile, I like that you didnt sign Lebron, would have made your team too strong, I like the Diaw signing, what position are you going to use him at considering he can play all 5, I would go with him at center, would mean you could chuck the ball into him in the post to create for Howard or kick back out.

Looking forward to seeing your roster for the next season

[YoG!]

Nice signings in Diaw and Jeffries

[Shing]

Wow some big changes for Toronto! Cool dynasty as always, Marquis!
