2020-2021 Official Magic Season Thread
All Eyes On Me replied to Soul Bro's topic in Orlando Magic Forum
Meh, this is strictly a hypothetical. The league hasn’t set next years cap numbers yet and there’s a lot of moves we could make to navigate numbers around (stretching and trading being the main ones). I don’t think we’ll bring Evan back, but don’t think it has that much to do with the luxury tax. That Aminu signing and contract was unforgivable, it was bad at the time and has gotten worse every minute after we signed him. Reminds me a lot of when we signed Biyombo, but at least Biz played. Feels like ever since our last streak as contenders ended we’ve been good for one of those awful signings every couple years. -
We would have to move Aminu and AG otherwise we would be in luxury tax, thinking we’ll be adding a top 5 picks salary as well.

That non call on the inbound to Fournier was awful... On the clear path foul, the claim that I’ve heard is that if the player who is obstructed is at the free throw line or closer to the basket it’s apparently not a clear path foul. That being said I’ve looked up the rule in the NBA officiating book and at a few different locations and none of them mention this being part of the rule. Odd game, we should have won, but also could have easily gotten blown out. Sick joke to see everyone else flamethrowing on a night that Vooch couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. I actually think the AG backup point guard lineup could be effective IF we were ever able to fill it with shooters.

No idea what you’re referring to here... if we wanted to keep Evan and he wanted to stay we could easily re-sign him. -

I think if Okeke and Bamba both could prove they can handle a regular load of minutes consistently without getting hurt (or sick) they’d both be in the rotation right now. What it comes down to is I don’t think any of us realized how much Markelle Fultz meant to this team, even his biggest fans. He was always in control and made everything easier on everyone. Even if he never develops a 3 ball, he’s still our point guard for the next decade barring injury. That one single move is the sole reason why Weltman hasn’t been chased out of town yet, and if we’re being generous maybe re-signing Vooch as well. -
We need to get rid of these guys and play our draft picks when they’re fit. We need to give Okeke and Bamba as many minutes as possible. We all ok with losing games if this is the case. But these gritty losses with Ennis, Bacon, Birch and Clark scrapping is probably had me at the lowest point I have felt as a magic fan. This FO is done for me. We can’t even sign Fournier even if he wanted to stay. How sad is that. We better get something for him
-
Exactly my point. We need to get rid if some of these guys in favor of some shooters. Nothing against Ennis, he just isn’t what we need right now.
-
Agree. Also agree that in the last few minutes of regulation we stopped moving the ball and went into hero ball mode, which cost us badly.
-
I don’t understand that either
-
I think Fournier could really help a contender. The Magic need a point guard. Good night.
-
I hate to harp on officiating because even with it being not great we should have won that game but the end of regulation non foul on Fournier with about 15 seconds left and then the apparent not clear path foul on TRoss were bad calls in my opinion.
-
Gordon with those turnovers at the end of the 4th quarter....
-
So what. The kid has the clutch gene clearly
-
Seriously interested to hear what Cliff has to say about that. I thought our offensive decision making was dreadful when it mattered most. Defense wasn't great either. If we don't have probably our best shooting night of the season we get blown out.
-
He airballed his only shot attempt
-
That foul on Ross at the end of the overtime, wasn’t it a clear path foul? Nobody was in front and it was intentional foul from behind, we had to retain posesiones after the free throw.
-
Exactly. Let cole shoot
-
Bacon was sent back to the bench for EF!
-
Can somebody tell me what is the point in having Fournier if he consistently misses the big shots?
-
Great question!
-
Why wasn’t bacon put back in? He was scoring in the paint!
-
Vuc made 10 shots out of 29...
-
Evan played really well until the game was on the line and then nothing. Would have preferred someone else take those last shots honestly.
-
*****ing hell he missed again
-
Why did Ev go for the 3
