Magic GM: Orlando's Depth Will Top Miami's Star Power

Filed under: Heat, MagicORLANDO, Fla. -- More than any other team in the NBA, the Orlando Magic will spend this season lost in the shadow of the Miami Heat.

And they aren't going to like it.

After winning the Southeast Division the last three years, reaching the conference final the last two, and expecting continued improvement this season, the Magic suddenly find themselves invisible when standing next to their ubiquitous, in-state rivals, the most celebrated non-championship team in league history.

"I got tired of the Heat as soon as LeBron James announced he was going to Miami,'' scoffed Magic center Dwight Howard Monday.

It may have been the eve of the Magic's training camp -- held in their sparkling new downtown arena -- but all anyone asked about during media day was the omnipresent Miami Heat.

And that got old real quick.
