It just comes naturally. It also helps to use lots of exclamation points!!!!!!!! |

You have a young team that seems to have a very bright future and probably would have made the playoffs if not for the Kendall Gill injury. You moved your young center Seikley for a worse young center and a pick. I'm not saying it was good or bad, but i'd really like to hear the thought process behind breaking up that young core.

What do you hope for Kenny Smith to bring to your team?

William Maukie, Sr.: Good Morning. William Maukie, Sr. from Milwaukee Bucks Sports Journal. There have been many critics by GMs around the league about the Magic GMs commitment to his team and the league as a whole. This includes outstanding accusations of gambling using ticket revenues to make bets on the Indianapolis Colts. However, the moves you made this off-season speak otherwise and say that you want this team to improve. Will this be another season of fast out the gates then vanish into late lotto nothingness? Or do you foresee the moves you made as ones that could put you into the playoff hunt for the first time in your career? Which of the moves you made will impact your team the most?

Jack Markson here from The Golden Take. You were rated as the team with the worst future outlook in the NBA as you were seen as likely a team in NBA purgatory. How do you feel about that rating? Do you think it's an unfair assessment of your team? And are you using it as motivation for your team?

Ask questions to the GM, coach, or players. Nick Melon from Charlotte Observer: what value do you put on a player like Glen Rice? What would it take to acquire him? |

Jon Snow, WSN:
The Atlantic division was fairly open last year for a time before the Celtics and the Knicks pulled away from the rest, how do you feel your team matches up with those two top dawgs? Surely you cant expect to challenge for the title this year, right?

You moved your young center Seikley for a worse young center and a pick. I'm not saying it was good or bad, but i'd really like to hear the thought process behind breaking up that young core. Thanks for coming and for the question Mr. Sohard. Our thought process, behind trading Seikaly for Rik Smits, the Pacers '92 first, and Willie Burton, was that we felt those three assets we got in return for Rony had more value than Seikaly himself did. In Rik, we got a very efficient, offensive-minded big who can extend the defense and block shots. He should add a new demension to our offense with his ability to shoot the mid range consistently. Along with this, his length on the defensive side of the ball makes it very hard for opposing offensives to score in the paint. We feel we got a very underrated player with Rik. With Willie, we got a guy who we can put out on the floor, whe Tyrone needs a break, and not worry about the offense becoming stagnant. All in all, we think that the trade worked great in our favor. |

What do you hope for Kenny Smith to bring to your team? We are very excited about having Kenny as a part of this organization! While we thought Gary did a great job at the PG spot last season, we felt this team needed a playmaker at the PG position and we think we got it in Kenny. To go along with Kenny being an elite passer, he is an excellent shooter for the PG position. 3 point shooting is something we were lacking in last season, besides Rice, and our acquisition of Smith will now make other teams respect our 3 point shooting abilities. There are some things we expect him to improve on this offseason, such as defense and his slashing ability. But if he can add those dimensions to his game, he could become one of the most complete PG's in the league. |

This season it's playoffs or bust. This organization thinks that, barring injuries, this years team has the right pieces to make a run, not only at the playoffs, but at a championship. In our opinion, Kenny is the key. If he shoots well, distributes the ball, and stays healthy, we should be a very dangerous team. Thank you for your question. |

Do you think it's an unfair assessment of your team? And are you using it as motivation for your team? With the moves made this offseason, I think that ranking isn't as relevant as it was. I personally felt it was too low a ranking, but I respect the author's opinion. |

Surely you cant expect to challenge for the title this year, right? We definitely expect to be a contender in the east this season, but the first step is making the playoffs. And if that happens, it's anyone's game. |

Hey, Johnny Junior from The Washington Post here. Lost in how your season ended up was the fact that your team had developed amazing chemistry fairly quickly for a young team. Do you think it was a wise decision to break that up without even having a complete, injury-free season to evaluate them? How confident are you that this team will - pardon the pun - find the magic that last season's edition found very early on?
