From Orlando Sentinel http://tinyurl.com/2reue 我們找了Nigel Dixon 參加我們的Summer Camp 。他是誰？請參考地 下網路雜誌的介紹，既然要重建，要不要考慮把Chris Garnett 也抓 來試試啊（笑，那可是Garnett 呢）。 http://www.nbamag.com.tw/article.php?sid=1670 新聞當中Dixon 提到，他會讓我們看看誰是那個可以「抓籃板」、帶 來「禁區厚度」以及「低位攻擊能力」的人。（按：真期待啊）加上 本季兩個第一輪選透以及Keith Bogans和Britton Johnson 都會參加 下個禮拜開始的Summer Camp 。 後面又是在講關於魔術和火箭的交易，沒什麼特別的新聞。 ------------------------------------------------------------ Dixon invited to camp The former Edgewater standout will play on a Magic summer-camp team. By Tim Povtak | Sentinel Staff Writer Posted June 27, 2004 ------------------------------------------------------------ Nigel Dixon didn't get the call he wanted on draft night. But he did get a call a day later that brought a smile to his face. Dixon, the former Edgewater High standout, has been invited to the Orlando Magic summer camp that will begin next week and include players such as Keith Bogans, Britton Johnsen and their two first-round draft picks. Dixon is the 6-foot-11, 320-pound center whose weight once soared to 425 pounds before he left Florida State and finished his college career at Western Kentucky. He was hoping to become someone's second-round draft pick Thursday night, but the disappointment of not being selected didn't last very long. "I was hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst," he said Saturday. "But I'm happy now for this chance. I'll show them a guy who can rebound, bring toughness and a true, low-post game." While Dixon will be trying to impress the Magic, Orlando already has been impressed with what it's heard from Houston Rockets guard Steve Francis, a key component in the expected trade of Tracy McGrady. Although Francis initially reacted unfavorably to coming to Orlando, he has softened his stance(立場軟化) after speaking with Magic General Manager John Weisbrod. Jeff Fried, Francis' agent, said he expected to speak with Orlando officials again today about the possible deal. Rockets officials had expressed some frustration at the inability to finalize the trade, but Fried said he and his client understood why it was taking a little longer than expected. "The right steps are being taken," Fried said Saturday night. "Under the circumstances, it's the prudent(審慎小心) thing to do." Although Fried said nothing had been scheduled yet, there is a good chance that Francis will come to Orlando this week before the trade is finished. --
