back at #1

My bad.  Should be the reverse: “#1 at back” [of bench].   Francis traded for Penny and Ariza…hmm…If instead today was February 23, 1996 and I went to visit a fortuneteller who told me he saw both Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway on the Magic in 2006, I wouldn’t believe it.  The next question I’d ask is what happened to Shaq (Shaq switched zip codes in the summer of ‘96)?  Followed by how many championships will G. Hill and Penny win for the Magic?
Penny Hardaway was once dubbed the next Magic and MJ–the first big PG.  The year that the Orlando Magic made it to the Finals (‘94-95), Hardaway was arguably the best all-around player not named Olajuwon.  G. Hill was also tabbed as the heir apparent.  Who knew that ankle (Hill) and knee (Hardaway) injuries would doom their careers?  We’ll never see G. Hill and Hardaway play together (the Magic plan to let his contract expire).
