Orlando Magic IV:All Star Break

Well I zoomed along through the months because of one thing, we were winning. Winning in bunches. December we went 8-8 with a 6 game win streak in there, while in January we went 8-6 also with a 6 game win streak. 4-3 pre-All Star Break has us at 25-27 on the year sitting as the 8 seed. This is fantastic, time to battle for that playoff spot. We have to hold off some of the best though to make it, including the Nets (24-29), Celtics (22-30), and Hawks (19-32). Scoring and winning have come from everybody as the whole starting five has double digits PPG but no one is over 17. With the trade deadline approaching I don't see any possible moves outside of shopping Mo Harkless, who has been struggling from the field.

BREAKING NEWS OUT OF ORLANDO
Sources say SF Maurice Harkless has been sent to Minnesota directly for a first round pick in the upcoming NBA draft. Further news to be reported.

With the trade being done, Hedo will finish his Magic career as a starter and Markieff Morris will see extra minutes as a six man. With that extra pick we could see a trade up for a stronger pick. If we keep it, I'm sure to use it on someone very young as we gave up 19 year old (and struggling) Mo Harkless. With that I'm out. Catch ya come playoff race time.
