Miami Is Not A Player: The Miami HEAT have no plans to get involved in a big dollar contract before training camp opens at the end of September. HEAT sources shot down the notion of Ben Gordon coming to Miami in a sign-and-trade, citing that the only way it worked for Chicago was if Shawn Marion was included, and neither the HEAT nor the Bulls seem too interested in that deal. The other issue ...

Morning Report: Miami Is Not A Player - No Urgency In Orlando: Hey Magic fans… the roster is basically set, so quit asking… just kidding. The Orlando Magic and their rabid fan base have been fun this summer, but sadly beyond a couple of toss-in roster players the Magic are not looking seriously at any major moves before camp opens on September 27th. The Magic would like to add a third point guard and there is always the lingering question of what to do with J.J. Redick, but neither of these issues seem to be at ...
Orlando Magic News for August 20th: Kyler: Team Probably Finished Making Moves
Third Quarter Collapse —
Monday morning, Steve Kyler of HoopsWorld reported the Magic are basically finished making moves this summer. A rumored Tony-Battie-for-Nick-Collison swap isn't happening, his sources assured him. Damn. Collison's the tough, rebound-centric forward the Magic need. I suppose they value Battie's defense more than they would Collison's work on the glass. Either that, or they love Tony too much to banish him to Oklahoma City.
It's probably just as well the team's finished making moves, though; they'd hate to have to buy any new acquisition a plane ticket to Pennsylvania. Darren Heitner reported yesterday that ...
Orlando Magic News for September 24th: Regarding Kevin Kruger's Whereabouts and a Blogger's Trade Proposal
Third Quarter Collapse —
Pretty slow news day for the Magic today, which is just as well. I'm worn out after making 13 posts in the last two days. But here we go:
Yesterday, the Magic added forward/center Dwayne Jones and small forward Jeremy Richardson to their training-camp roster. When I heard the news, I wondered where Kevin Kruger, who joined the Magic in camp last season and who played for their summer-league team this year and last. Well, as The Bratwurst informs us, the 6'02" combo guard is headed to camp with the Milwaukee Bucks. We wish him the best.
Jacemann submitted an Orlando Magic/Oklahoma City Thunder trade ...

Ben Not Taking Any Bull
nbarumors.info 8/19/2008 — It seems like Ben Gordon has decided not to play for the Chicago Bulls next season. Apparently, Gordon and his agent, Raymond Brothers, will not settle for a one year $6.4 million offer. The two have been speaking with other teams and the guard from England might even jump on the “NBA Europe” bandwagon by signing with an European team.
Why ... you should take Ben Gordon with a grain of salt
