Today's report includes a list of all the homecomings this season of players acquired in trade during the offseason: when the Magic play the Rockets, Spurs, and Cavs.

The Magic first play the Rockets in an exhibition game on October 23 at home. Their first regular season matchup is also at home on January 20, at 8pm, to be broadcast on TNT. They then have just one game (against Philadelphia) before meeting up again in Texas on January 24 at 8:30pm, to be broadcast on NBA TV. That'll be it for the Steve Francis, Cuttino Mobley, and Kelvin Cato reunion.

The Magic host the Cleveland Cavaliers on February 1 at 7pm, a game that won't be broadcast on national TV but one that will be a good test of John Gabriel's tinkering with the team. Tony Battie will ply his wares against his old team and Magic fans might see how Drew Gooden fares when he gets playing time. We might also get a glimpse of Anderson Varejao. Just like their first meeting with Houston, only one game (this time against Boston) separates the Magic from their next match against the Cavs, a game on February 5 at Cleveland that starts at 7:30 but won't be broadcast again. They meet again on March 8 at 7pm in Cleveland and April 11 at 7pm at home, and again neither of those matchups is expected to be broadcast on national TV.

Hedo Turkoglu can show off in front of his former Spurs teammates on December 15 in San Antonio at 8:30pm, an unbroadcast game, as well as December 22 at 7pm at home. He will get all of his matchup anxieties out of the way before the new year, as the Magic will not face the Spurs again all year unless both make their way into the NBA Finals.

TEAM NOTES
Hedo, Meet Orlando. Orlando, Meet Hedo: ... The coaching staff and administration have one whole-hearted supporter, and it’s one of the guys who hopes to be an integral part of the turnaround. Orlando Magic fans, meet Hidayet Turkoglu.

Steve Francis will host the Steve Francis Summer Fiestain Houston, TX this weekend, August 27-29. The three-day event features a bowling challenge, basketball clinic, boat ride and the Slam Fest All Star Basketball game.
