Magic Lock up the Eastern Conference Before Season Starts

Despite the major moves by the Celtics and Heat bringing in Kevin Garnett and Penny Hardaway respectively, it looks like the Magic are making a big push to solidify their position as the East's best with their signing today of former Colgate standout Adonal Foyle.

In lieu of getting a chance to talk to Bill Walton, I had Mads, my Norwegian companion, who does a killer Walton impersonation, discuss the impact this will have on the East.

"Adonal Foyle is the best big man since Hakeem. Other than maybe Shaq or Mark Blount, no one can touch Foyle's post presence. I don't see how any team in the Eastern Conference can stop the Magic's dominance."

Sir Ian McKellen was wholly unimpressed.

"Why must you guys always pick on my man Mark Blount?"

"Mark Blount is the greatest force the basketball court has ever seen. He's the greatest center since Tony Battie."
