Going to be quite the project downtown if this is all built together I love the sound of that I hate phases LOL

[prahaboheme]

Does this project entail the Fox Sports center? I think that would be a unique draw for downtown.

I know this isn't about the Magic team, but, to be fair about this franchise here's the "couple of questionable calls" I've witnessed:

1.  They let Shaq go

2.  They allowed a hobbling Jameer to resume his starting role over Alton and the other guy who were doing great against the Lakers in The Finals.

3.  They listened to Dwight when he pressured them to fire VanGundy.  They fired VanGundy and started sucking; Dwight ended up leaving ANYWAY...

4.  They said no to Rodman

5.  They signed choir boy Grant Hill in a manner which locked him in for many injury laden years which affected their ability to go after big healthy talent.

6.  They signed a known head case (can't remember his name) within a couple years after The Finals who of course didn't pan out.

7.  There's more; but I'm at work.

And, no, I don't like them.... 

Sorry for correction but it just irks me when people say Jameer started over Altson. He never started over Alston in the Finals. Here's the starters for each game.

talk of the Magic BB has been moved to the Coffee House.  That being said:

My comment (read it again) dealt more with the aspect of the combination of Alston & Lee filling in more or less for an injured Jameer in Games 1, 2, & 3.  After the Magic got the momentum and won Game 3, the coaches changed the lineup and reduced Lee's playing time from 20 minutes in Game 3 down  to 7 minutes in Game 4, while increasing Jameer's playing time  from 11 minutes in Game 3 to 25 minutes in Game 4.  They lost.  Starter; backup; it's irrelevant; just look at the numbers; Jameer had the playing time of a starter in Game 4.  When they realized the screwup,  they flip flopped it again in Game 5, but it was too late.

...will happily go to lodge burtons or magnolia to continue the otis fiasco discussion over drinks instead of typing...

I'll be in the back playing darts or in the front looking at the pictures depending on what bar you decide to go to.

Oh yah and I completely agree with you here... There are some "fans" who argue Jameer STARTED over Alston.

Longer than that.  I feel like I remember talks of a meet up dating back to 2008.

[jrs2]

so they cleared or are clearing the lot across the Amway Center garage between Anderson and South St.  What's going on there?

[dcluley98]

EDIT: This is incorrect. GreenTree site is a block north, next to Amway Center. See Jernigan's post below. 

Maybe site clearing for GreenTree?

Jernigan's right. GreenTree is next to Amway, not the Garage.

so what's going next to the garage?

[dcluley98]

As Jernigan posted above, it is a new office building for the headquarters of Orlando-based Bags, Inc.

"A conceptual development plan provided to the city in late December calls for a five-story building with 84,000 square feet of office use, 5,200 square feet of ground floor retail and an attached parking garage on approximately 1.4 acres overall.
The company would occupy at least 50,000 square feet in the proposed office building and have approximately 80 corporate management and employees there."

Wasn't there something awkward about the proportions of the Bags building?  Am I dreaming?

I believe so. I also remember a lot of people here debating about the height difference between this and the parking garage, and whether  this was even worthy of being built in that plot

[dcluley98]

There's nothing there but a city chiller plant and abandoned lots. There should be no debate.

[spenser1058]

I was hoping for a 7-Eleven.
