Around SBN: What If This Is It For The Celtics? End Of An Era Looming

F: Orlando Magic: Justin Harper, Original pick was dealt to Phoenix in the Jason Richardson trade: I doubt the pick was a big deal or even would have become a big deal had Orlando used it or not. And Harper is a nice get early in round 2. I’m flunking Orlando so I can launch into a rant. I just want to say that I can’t believe how this team has squandered the good fortune that has come their way since their inception. They won consecutive draft lotteries in the early 90s, which included once-in-a-decade talent Shaquille O’Neal. In the free agency summer of ’00 they scored a huge coup by bringing in Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady. They won the ’04 lottery where they drafted the best center of this generation, Dwight Howard. I know there were some injuries and other little dramas going on, but this organization has been setup for a dynasty on three separate occasions in the past two decades and hasn’t been able to close the deal. That’s what this "F" is about.

Ed Weiland at Hoops Analyst in the blog post NBA Draft 2011: Draft Grades is not too hot on the Magic management. (He omits the Liggins pick for some reason.)

Grant Who??

i guess he didnt notice that Grant Hill spent less time on the court than the ball boys in his years “in” a Magic uniform.

im surprised he didnt remind us of the foolish draft picks we made as well.

love the site Evan. keep up the good work through these stagnant times.
