RASHARD TO ORLANDO?! DARKO GONE?! WHOOOOAAAA!
Transformers review will have to wait until tomorrow. There are more important matters at hand.
RealGM is reporting the following:
Like Jack Bauer on the right there, I pray this is true. If this were true, the Magic have managed to win over the most prized free agent of the summer. It is a shame about Darko, and I am sure that many people will be on the fence about this move, but the chance to get Rashard is something that our team just can't pass up. As I mentioned earlier, we already HAVE a promising European player that could step in to fill the backup PF role in Marcin Gortat should things not work out with Darko. I would be ecstatic if this were proven true. If this is confirmed, and yes that still is an if, I have a feeling Otis will have more up his sleeve this summer. The Sonics might want to do a sign and trade to get something...and maybe we can get something too. Something would have to be donw with Turkoglu or Ariza (please God let it be Turkoglu).
Still, it is late and nothing has been confirmed yet. Hopefully we will know more tomorrow and can start celebrating.

If this is true, I have definite mixed emotions here. I'm ecstatic about the signing of Lewis, but at the same time, very disappointed that the Magic are not going to re-sign Darko. Young, talented big men like Darko don't come around too often. I think Darko would have had a breakout year this season under the new offensive system of SVG, because he wasn't used properly in Brian Hill's slow, plodding offensive system. Even so, defensively, he proved what a good shot blocker he is, and his rebounding, which was inconsistent, can only get better. He may have been the Magic's best player in the playoffs against DET.
Who is the Magic starting PF going to be now? I sure hope someone can step up in training camp to take over Darko's spot.
On the positive side, great job by the Magic signing Lewis!
