Google is your friend. The first result for me when I typed in "Fran Vazquez" was:

"Vázquez made headlines when he announced that he would remain in Spain for at least the following season. This came as a surprise to the Magic, who drafted him with the expectation of him joining Dwight Howard in the frontcourt for the 2005-2006 season, and enraged many Magic fans."

Vasquez is an incredible athlete. He's long, preety fast and agile. You could compare his game to KG's, just take off the outside shooting part and dominance :wink: But he really could be a very good player. Oh and he's ugly like hell :lol:

Maybe have Darko or Vazquez take a Jerry Stackhouse/Antonio McDyess type role as a key substitute? Either way, don't pass up on either of them.

He's staying in Europe for at least this season because I've heard his wife was the one who wanted him to stay. I'd kill the bitch. :x

The longer he stays there, the more agitated Magic fans will become, so hopefully he'll be there by next season.

I have read that he will quit his team to join Barcelona, so not sure he will ever play for Orlando

Yeah it was a pretty big blow to the Magic.

I think they asked for something in the CBA (back then beofore the new one was done) to penalize or somehow get something back if a european draft pick doesn't come over as they promise.
