Magic Thoughtfully Allow Other Teams To Improve At Their Expense

In a move designed to postpone the requisite feeling of shame and inadequacy that accompany an Orlando Magic first round draft selection, the franchise completed a ground-breaking deal with the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. Though the terms of the agreement were not officially disclosed, it is believed that the deal will send perennial underachiever Darko Milicic and the Magic's 2008 and 2009 first round draft picks to Memphis in exchange for the peace of mind of not having to make a hilariously misguided and uninformed selection for at least two more seasons.

Though officially the first of its kind, this type of deal is not entirely unfamiliar to the Magic organization. Just two seasons ago the Magic made a similar trade with the Pistons that also happened to involve the 6'11'' power forward. This agreement allowed the Magic to give the Pistons' its first round selection in this year's draft in exchange for the right to renounce Milicic's rights and allow him to sign with an organization that actually attempts to develop its young talent.
