Magic Movements...

Rashard Lewis to the Orlando Magic -- the best we could have hoped for this off-season. Darko Milicic's agent is now calling Otis Smith a liar for withdrawing Darko's offer so they could sign Rashard. An agent calling a GM a liar..

"Pot, kettle goose and gander all throw up their hands in disgust."

Let's all remember that Darko's agent, Marc Cornstein, is the same agent that represents Fran Vazquez. When you burn an organization that badly, it's no doubt that they won't take you seriously anymore. Memo to Darko: Get a new agent. I'd imagine that his ineptitude just screwed you out of a deal to stay in Orlando.

Then again, the rumblings have always been that Darko wanted to be somewhere where he could be a major part of the lineup. For that to happen, he's going to have to prove he can consistently average more than 8 points a game. He's a great asset if only for his defensive skills (shot blocking monster), but that doesn't demand 10 million a year. If he can find himself in Cleveland, it'd probably be a great fit next to Lebron.

It'll be sad if Darko leaves Orlando. I think he and Dwight could be an amazing tandem down low. Orlando has to fill its needs though, and that starts with building an offense. Rashard will be a great fit.
