Hello and welcome to my Presser! I'm not gonna give you guys crap about climbing a mountain. I'm gonna tell you straight what happened last season and in the offseason.
The Magic had a very bad season. We simply didn't have the roster to make a dent in the league and have a successful season. So we rode it out and now things are looking much better! We went into the lottery with three top 7 choices and came out with two top three picks and the number seven overall pick. We were very excited! Come draft time, we expected Jason Kidd, our top rated player overall, to be off the board come our pick. But that was not the case. The Timberwolves, in what I think was the right move for that organization, took Grant Hill and Kidd fell right into our lap! We were ecstatic! Kidd is a big point guard with exceptional passing skills and an unheard of rebounding ability for his position. With the third choice, we were always sure of who we would draft if available. And that's Eddie Jones. Eddie Jones is a perfect fit for our future and what we want in this organization. His elite defensive capabilities combined with his advanced scoring makes him what we envision to be one of the leagues premier wing players. With the seventh pick, we drafted no one. We decided to trade the pick to the Washington Wizards for our 1995 first. This trade was a no brainer in our opinion as it gave us security over our team in case we struck out in Free Agency. Which Is what occurred. No players decided to sign with us in free agency. But with our players rapid development this offseason the future looks bright! Now let's open up the floor for questions!
