Orlando Pinstriped Post, an Orlando Magic community

"[Fran Vazquez's] contract was up and we were hoping to get him, but he has to look after his own interests," [Orlando Magic Director of International Scouting Sam] Foggin said. "He signed a one-year deal with Barcelona, and we’re hoping that in a year’s time we can come to terms with Fran. He wants to come. He was committed to come, but for reasons outside of our control it didn’t work out [...]"

[FC Barelona] has offered [Fran Vazquez] a four-year contract, but Orlando wants him to play with them in the NBA. His agent is in Madrid and he has already met with [FC Barcelona] and Magic representatives.

(Translated from the Spanish: "El Barça le ha hecho una oferta de renovación por cuatro años pero Orlando le quiere convencer para que vaya a la NBA. Su agente está en Madrid y ya se ha visto las caras con representantes del Barça y de los Orlando Magic.")

(Fran Vazquez's) self-esteem has grown so much he will not rule out joining the NBA, to compete against Kevin Garnett, his idol.

(Translated from the Spanish: "Su autoestima ha crecido tanto que ni siquiera descarta la NBA, donde competiría con Kevin Garnett, su ídolo.")
