End of the Road for G-Mac

It looks like it might be the end of the road for former Syracuse star Gerry McNamara in the NBA.

The Orlando Magic signed G-Mac as an undrafted free agent on June 30th to evaluate his play in their summer league and put some heat on Travis Diener.

McNamara was finally given the shot I thought he deserved, but a nagging injury and an unconscious Travis Diener (34 points against the Bulls, including 7-10 from 3) seems to have put an end to his time in the NBA. It now looks very doubtful that G-Mac will make the Magic roster next season, as Diener will most likely lock down any available back-up point guard spot.

I thought before the draft that McNamara would have been a great fit in Denver because of his heart, determination, 3-point range and his winning history with Carmelo. But that was before he hurt his groin and had an awful workout for the Nuggets. And then I found out he has asthma. Hardly a good condition for playing in the Mile High City.
