I’m sure his Orlando Magic teammates and coaches will love hearing this: “Gortat has said all along that no matter what happened this off-season — whether he went to Dallas or returned to Orlando — that he would be a ‘happy man.’ Still, he did have his heart set on going to the Mavericks because the Mavericks were going to give him the chance to...

Just when you thought Mark Cuban was going to replace Brandon Bass with Marcin Gortat, the Orlando Magic decided they wanted to have both as they surprisingly matched the Mavs’ five-year, $34-million offer sheet.
To me, this is crazy! Unless Dwight Howard somehow went down with a Yao-like injury since last night and the Magic [...]

We hope you’re not having the same troubles we did this afternoon at the SLAM Dome. The internet was bugging out for hours. Emails weren’t opening, iChat was connecting and disconnecting as if Nearly Headless Nick from Harry Potter relocated to our modems after attending the recent New York premiere.

Born in 1992, I was eight years old when I saw Vince Carter jump over Frederick...

Last week I hinted at the importance the possible signing of Marcin
Gortat could mean to the Dallas Mavericks. Well his importance has
doubled and so has the impact of his signing. The Orlando Magic made an
under-the-radar- resigning of Gortat Monday afternoon by matching the 5

As an Orlando Magic fan, I have decided to finally get into this extremely opinionated debate.
Ever since the trade went down this offseason, all I have heard from "other NBA Fans" has been, "Oh, Vince Carter is past his prime, he is a downgrade from Hedo Turkoglu."
In addition others have made statements such as, "Hedo made that offense go and got everybody...

Marcin Gortat, a restricted free agent in the 2009 off season, signed an offer sheet to be a Dallas Maverick for the coming season. Too bad that didn't dictate where he was going.
It is reported that the Orlando Magic have matched the Dallas Mavericks deal of a five-year, $34 million contract to bring him back in a Magic uniform for the following season. Gortat would...
