Orlando Magic Roster History
user
I'm looking for the complete roster history for the Orlando Magic from
1989 to today.
Does anyone know of a website or resource that has that kind of
information? I want to see the old Sam Bowie, Terry Catledge, Scott
Skiles, Stanley Roberts, Jon Konkac, etc.
Any help or insight into where I can find this info would really be
appreciated.

Have you tried picking up a team media guide? Many teams make them available at
their team merchandise stores.
Go Sonics,

Anthony Bowie, not Sam Bowie.
I want to see Gertt (sp?) Hammick!

John, the Magic site on www.nba.com used to carry history information,
and I saved it when it was there. I can help you with up to 1996.
