Foyle not happy in Orlando

Article Launched: 05/02/2008
Former Warrior Adonal Foyle, now a seldom-used backup center with the
Orlando Magic, told the Orlando Sentinel that he won't decide until the
offseason whether he'll opt to become a free agent or not.
Foyle, who accepted a buyout from the Warriors, signed with Orlando for
the
veteran's minimum of $1.8 million with the hopes of seeing regular playing
time as Dwight Howard's backup. However, he averaged just 9.4 minutes per
game during the regular season, while playing all 82 games. Foyle averaged
just 1.9 points and 2.5 rebounds during the regular season.
"You have to take it personally," Foyle told the Orlando Sentinel. "You
have
to be mad about it or you should stop playing the game. I understand the
situation, but if you are a competitor, you're mad."
Foyle played in just two of Orlando's five games against Toronto in the
first round of the NBA playoffs, seemingly losing his backup center role
to
rookie Marcin Gortat.
