Monta Ellis and LaMarcus Aldridge have already finished their physical examinations. Tomorrow, they will face the Portland TrailBlazers which was Aldridge's former team. Former Magic Jameer Nelson also finished his physical and also Rashard Lewis who was traded for Monta Ellis to Golden State Warriors. The four players can now play with their new teams as soon as possible

Interview with the GM
Why do you think Portland traded LaMarcus Aldridge?
-We've heard there's an altercation between those players in their locker room. We were shocked when Mr. Pritchard called me yesterday that they are offering Aldridge to get Nelson or Lewis or maybe Dwight.
How about Monta Ellis?
-When the Warriors suspended him, I told Mr. Mullin that if ever they wanted to trade Monta, we are heavily interested. Then he called back to the President (Vander Weide). He said that if we would arrange a deal that will send Ellis to Orlando. That's it.
What do you think will be the advantages of Blazers and Warriors in the deal?
-For the Warriors, I think they have now the strongest core unit. Jackson, Crawford, Biedrins, Maggette, and Rashard Lewis. I think we would see them getting the 4th or 5th seed. And the Blazers. Aldridge is a big big loss. They also get their 5th point guard with Nelson which is not advisable to any team but their four other point guards, they're not doing anything. And Aldridge is not doing good. He's averaging his career low averages. And that's also the thing why we've traded Jameer Nelson.
Are you planning to make more moves?
-I think we will lock this roster as soon as Rudy Gay heal his injury and see if we can make it to the Finals. So much for that.

On topic, this looks pretty good, but I hate how stacked your team is.

Orlando,FL - Two days ago when Jameer Nelson last played at Amway Center with the white & blue uniform. Now he played again at the Amway Center but not as an ally.
With his new team, and new teammates, Jameer Nelson finally found his rhtym but it couldn't help the streaking Magic as Dwight Howard and the rest of the gang en route the Blazers, 115-83.
Dwight Howard scored 20 points with 13 rebounds and 2 blocks and former Blazer LaMarcus Aldridge added 12 points, 6 rebounds, and also 2 blocks. Jameer Nelson, who averaged only 7 points per game and 7 assists per game with the Magic, scored 15 points with 7 assists in his season-high 30 minutes gameplay.
"I gotta give credits to the young guys taking over the game. They played hard. Especially the two new faces of this team.
They just practiced twice but you look at the chemistry they're having there. I think we have 35 assist in this game which is our team's season-high" said Coach Stan Van Gundy.
Monta Ellis and Mike Conley tied with the highest assists this game with 8 each respectively. Mickael Pietrus played perfect with his 14 points, 5-5 from the field, 2-2 from the 3-pt arc, and 2-2 from the charity stripe.

Breaks my heart to see the Magic broken up like that though. Good luck for the season.

Oklahoma City, Ok - While the others are struggling, Dwight Howard tried to lift his team but this game showed the people that one man, even Superman, can't defeat the power of a one-whole team.
The latest team to join the NBA defeated the top team in the NBA, with a twist.
Kevin Durant scored 24 points and Rusell Westbrook with 19 points and 12 assists to help the team win their 8th game. The Thunder squad also outrebounded the Magic squad with 47-32.
Dwight Howard and his team tried too many times to comeback to the ballgame but a big defense play by Thunder with Krstic blocked Conley's layup with one minute remaining. First, Anthony Johnson, Mickael Pietrus and the rookie Courtney Lee started the comeback thingy with a 14-2 run in the 3rd quarter. But the Thunder team didn't giveup their big lead as Durant fired three straight 3-pointers to bring his team its lead. But Howard and LaMarcus Aldridge tried a last big push. With the Thunder leading by 19, the two bigmen get hot, bringing the lead down to just five.
Only Howard and Pietrus scored in double figures for the Magic with 36 and 17.
After the game, Superman told our reporter Cheryl Miller this statement: "I think this is our worst game even they just won by five. Emotionally, my teammates wasn't there. I thought they were just struggling with the first 24 minutes. They played bad. I need them, all of them. Not just one or two or three. All my teammates."
His teammates struggled, with just 23-59 from the field.
Best Player of the Game
Kevin Durant - 24 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists
Magic - 95
Howard - 36, Pietrus - 17, Greene - 8, Lee - 8, Ellis - 6, Aldridge - 6, Conley - 4, Battie - 4, Thompson - 2, Hawes - 2, Johnson - 2, Richardson - 0
Thunder - 100
Durant - 24, Westbrook - 19, Wilkins - 16, Krstic - 12, Green - 9, Watson - 8, Smith - 6, Collison - 4, Wilcox - 2
