Orlando Magic Preseason 2012

[*Superman*]

Currently playing the Hornets right now.

Rest of the schedule here: http://www.nba.com/magic/schedule/

Horents look pretty disappointing considering everyone was bashing the Magic. Davis and Nelson looking really good.

[*Superman*]

Coughing up a huge lead, only up 2. Somethings never change.

[*Superman*]

Moore will probably back up Jameer, but he looks really shaky at PG, almost like he's doing too much. Still aggressive though

I didn't see the whole game. Seemed like JV coached with a lite touch. He tried to let the young guys show what they could do.

[harryo82]

I can't wait to see the full strength team. I really want to see what Afflalo & Harkless can do.

[*Superman*]

Definitely, the main guys didn't play down the stretch, since it still is preseason, wish we could have pulled out a win though, guys looked sloppy in the last two quarters. But these are also guys who don't get huge minutes or are inexperienced.

Ayon will probably be the starting center for us this season also.

[JNoel]

Ayon has the chance to be a pretty serviceable center, his offensive game is pretty impressive.

[Rinzler]

Our starting line up played pretty darn good. Its preseason and wasn't surprised to see the young guys struggle in the second half. Nelson looked sharp and Davis is going to hustle every night, if that can rub off on the younger guys we will keep games close. I think we would have won pretty easily if we played our core through the 4th but it going to be important even in the regular season to let these young guys get their minutes and grow.

[Rinzler]

Oh, and if Ayon performs like he did last night while Ryno struggles in NO, I think it will be safe to say we did pretty good with that trade. Ayon moved well on defense and finished around the basket. If he pans out I hope they can persuade him to stay in Orlando rather than going to Spain.

[*Superman*]

^What's funny to me is that Anderson was a throw in, with the Carter trade, and now, way to early to speak, but if Ayon turns out to be gem in the trade, I would laugh.

[*Superman*]

BTW there was some speculation that he might have left us for Spain, but with his current contract, he has to play here this season and we have a team option for the season after, hopefully he gets accustomed to staying here and doesn't pull a Vasquez.

Are there rumors Ayon wants to go to Spain?

I dont think he's even Spanish, I think he's Mexican.

[*Superman*]

Ayón was the player desired by Real Madrid to complete their interior game this seasom, but as the blog 'El Contraataque' first reported in the last few days, FC Barcelona has moved quicker than the white team, insuring a contract for the ACB rights of the player, in case he returns to Spain.

I don't know all their team names and all, but sounds like he would have wanted to gone to Real Madrid if anything, but another team has his rights now.

I had read an article recently that said it was an option for Ayon. I can't find it in my history or I would post it. Im sure it's just speculation at this point though.
