It’s the trade deadline and the moves are already flowing in. The Orlando Magic are in full fire-sale mode, already dealing their starting shooting guard to the Celtics and their all-star big man to the Bulls.

On Losing LeBron James
LeBron James is out indefinitely after suffering a high ankle sprain in Saturday’s loss to the surging Hawks. Solomon Hill clipped his leg when trying dive for the ball and Bron crumpled to the floor in pain, yelling in a way I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed. I’ll make no judgment here on Hill’s play, […]
