Here's a link to ESPN.com chat room for the Magic. Appears that most Magic fans are very upset with this trade:

Well no surprise there. Makes absolutely NO sense from their perspective. Trading young for old makes no sense when you are not a championship contender. And to get an extra year on the contract as well...from their perspective Petrie just stole yet another player.

The Magic players were apprearently really upset about it, as you can imagine Stevie Franchise who wore a #5 arm band and who openly question and criticized the Magic Brass after the game.

Talk about brotherly love. Or should I say groupie...

And why doesn't that surprise me? Little Stevie Franchise proves once again that he is extremely lucky he can play basketball because if he couldn't, he'd starve.

Ifeel for Doug going from the love he has gotten in Sac to being put into the middle of this kind of hostility.

Don't worry, Jackie's got his back.


Any of those mean boys give Doug a hard time you can bet there will be some serious purse beatings goin' on.

I think JC was the deal maker for the Magic. She can play all 5 positions and give a real walloping when needed.
