Orlando Magic power forward Glen Davis told Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel he planned to release a single entitled "Big Baby Gon' Turn It Up" in the coming days. The Magic posted the song, which clocks in at two minutes and 55 seconds, on their website Wednesday evening, and it didn't disappoint. "I'm turned up," a heavily autotuned Davis says after some heavy beats on the track. "Got Goose and cran in my cup. I'm with my boys and all my ladies know what's up. Oh yeah, I'm ready."

The album Full Court Press Vol. 1 (which, oh boy, hopefully means there will be a Vol. 2) will featured 14 NBA stars, or "stars" rather. Lamar Odom and Carlos Boozer, among others, also appear. On the tracks they'll be paired with rappers like Snoop Dogg, The Game, Twista and T-Pain. "I started having fun with it," Howard told WTVJ about his rap experience. "I was like, you know what? I've done this before at home in the shower, but now it's real in the studio, but I started getting into the beat. I have a little rhythm." Miami New Times

The rap album is titled, "Full Court Press Vol. 1." NBA players that will be featured include Juwan Howard, Baron Davis, Trevor Ariza, Lamar Odom, Carlos Boozer, Glen Davis, Shawn Marion, Josh Smith and others. Rappers expected to be on tracks include Rick Ross, Trina, Snoop Dogg, Birdman, The Game, T-Pain, Bun B, Twista and Soulja Boy. IamaGM.com

Even though Dwight Howard, Ryan Anderson, Jason Richardson, Earl Clark and Chris Duhon have been shipped out, the Magic are hardly finished in their attempts to make trades. They are open for business to any team that is interested in the likes of holdovers Hedo Turkoglu, Jameer Nelson, J.J. Redick, Big Baby Davis and Quentin Richardson. (And those players also might be looking to join a team that’s not competing for lottery prizes the next few seasons.) Orlando Sentinel

One of Jacque Vaughn’s first tasks as the Orlando Magic’s new coach was to speak with all the players on the roster, preferably face-to-face. He has met already with Glen Davis, the team’s projected starter at power forward. What was Vaughn’s message to Davis? “Just be ready,” Davis recalled Thursday. Orlando Sentinel

Davis attended Vaughn’s introductory press conference Monday and left impressed about his new, 37-year-old coach. Davis remains impressed. “He’s a wonderful guy,” Davis said of Vaughn. “His upside is just amazing. Where he’s been in his life and his career, the things that he’s encountered as far as a basketball level and things like that is high. And he’s young. He’s ready. “I called him a ‘thirsty dog,’ because I know he’s been chomping at the bits to get on that level of coaching. Now he has the opportunity to do that. I’m blessed and fortunate to be in a situation to be his first pupil.” Orlando Sentinel

Sources told ESPN.com that the Rockets, should they go ahead with their widely reported plans to release starting power forward Luis Scola via the NBA's amnesty clause, are prepared to absorb the contracts of Jason Richardson, Glen Davis and Chris Duhon -- in addition to sending Orlando multiple future first-round picks and recent draftees -- to give the Magic an opportunity to wipe their payroll virtually clean for their post-Howard rebuilding effort.

Then there's Thursday, when the Rockets social media people got in on the fun. Notice four of the team's most recent follows: That's Jason Richardson, Chris Duhon, Glen Davis and, of course, Dwight Howard -- all from the Orlando Magic. All were followed by the Rockets' Twitter account suddenly. SB Nation

Brian Schmitz: Big Baby Davis tells me team and Dwight can work it out inside lockeroom if he returns. My guess is an intervention or exorcism is in order Twitter

Glen "Big Baby" Davis, showing up at the Orlando Summer League, says he's still trying to convince Howard to stay and let bygones be bygones. If Big Baby can push away from the table after eating only salad for lunch, anything can happen. Orlando Sentinel

Glen Davis: The season? It was…It was up and down for me, as far as confidence-wise. It was mostly just tough for me to fall into the new culture. The Orlando Magic culture is different from the Celtics. And it bit me in the foot a couple times. I got suspended for two games for getting into it with Stan, for just not falling in how I was supposed to be, for trying to do what I used to do with the Celtics. SLAM

Glen Davis: Everybody tells you, “Stan, he’s a different coach”—everybody says that, but at the end of the day, my experience with him was that he was a hell of a coach. His tone may be different, but you gotta listen to the message. If listen to what he’s trying to tell you to do instead of all the other stuff, you won’t get frustrated. SLAM

Glen Davis: Winning Championships. That’s all I know. Playing with the Celtics, that’s all I know. I didn’t know anything else and we didn’t think about anything else. Every time I walked in the arena I saw a Championship banner. That’s the only thing I want, if they were to ask me. If they were to come to me and say “Hey Glen, what do you want in a GM and coach?” I just want to win. And also a different personality coach. A player’s coach. SLAM
