Orlando Magic Training Camp Notes – Day 1 – Dwight Smiling and Present - Presto in the Paint - Presto in the Paint - An Orlando Magic Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

]]> The Day 1 circus came and went and the world didn’t end. After the whirlwind of rumors the last few days, practice went on as scheduled and went well. Most important point, Dwight was in the building and smiling away.

Notes from today:

  • Dwight Howard present and working hard. He was shooting free throws for a good 30 minutes after practice ended and finished the night off by throwing his arm around new Magic CEO Alex Martins and sharing a laugh. Sure didn’t look like any trade demands were made to me.
  • Let me repeat that first bullet, Dwight Howard was at the Amway Center and working as usual. He was not in New Jersey, he was not in Brooklyn, he was not in Miami and not in LA.
  • The popular media questions after practice obviously centered around Dwight. Stan had the best quote of the night saying  that, “today the NBA was like a 3-ring circus and were in the middle of it”.
