Well, according to just about every major news source in America, Billy Donovan will be announced as the Magic's next head coach. I'm interested to hear what all the other Magic fans think about this. Personally, I'm a bit numb on the whole idea. First, we're getting a great college coach who has never had any pro experience. Past pro tryouts for college coaches have not gone very well. However, getting past that - I think that Donovan might have what it takes. My only problem is the money the Magic are reportedly throwing out there to get him. At $6 million a year, surely there are other coaches with a little more, uhm, playoff experience? After all, isn't that what the Magic are looking for come free agency time? Regardless, I do like that the Magic are being serious with the kind of money they're throwing out there. Maybe, just maybe, we can expect the same thing sometime around July 1st. I sure would like a fancy stretch Rolls-Royce limousine to go along with this new high-paid driver.

This franchise has been a train wreck for far too many years.
