HAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG WERE A *****ING JOKE!!!!! Rob Hennigan has to be back.

4 for 54 for Ross makes sense. I just don’t get the ***** we had to give Vuc what we gave him. It was such a ***** up.

The only thing that will make me happier about Vuc’s contract is it the 4th year is a team option. 90-100 doesn’t matter to me, both are awful. It’s the years that’s worse though.

It only took a decade for super stars to realize how easy it is in the east. Lebron did it for a decade. Leonard does it for 1 year and wins a title. I’m glad some stars are finally on this side. Makes it more competitive.

Then I wouldn’t trade him. Having Bamba develop and backup isn’t the worst thing in the world for him and us. Also Vuc does have a history of missing games. Bamba isn’t costing us a ton of money. Just keep him if you can’t get a home run trade done.

If the 4th year on Vuc is a TO then the contract (though I still hate just about everything about it) makes it much better to swallow. That would pretty much make the signing what I would have thought was “worse case scenario” a few days ago. I figured 3 for around 65 would be my “worse case” for Vuc. I never imagined a 4 for 100. It really never crossed my mind. But a team option on the final year would help me make some sense of it.

This may all be true. But you’re willing to give Bamba up for that? It’s jot that I wouldn’t take Brown. It’s that I wouldn’t take brown for Bamba.

If we trade Bamba for Brown we’d officially be a joke. If Bamba does get traded (which kills me because I love Bamba) it better be for a good proven scorer or a young guy who has just as much potential. Like a Gary Harris or Jamal Murray type (not those guys I know neither are happening just that mold). Trading Bamba now has Oladipo written all over it.

Side note. But Bamba must feel like **** right now.

Vuc has always put up solid numbers. They’re just empty and you see what he does in the playoffs. His best two season were in contract years. I agree with your second paragraph for sure. I mean go on twitter or the magic sub Reddit and if you say you don’t like this signing everyone literally says “he was an all star”. Its pathetic but it worked for vuc and duped our front office.

It’s crazy. Absolutely crazy. He seriously played us. I think the worse thing that could have happened to this franchise was him making an all star team. The casuals just ran with that and the front office totally pandered to all of it. That and us making the playoffs. It just ruined things. Patience my ass. The guy with the torn ACL makes so much sense now. I wish Hammond and welt were on twitter.

Same. I expected more. This is literally a Rob Hennigan contract. But what makes this more frustrating is we were literally so close to having all these 4 year overspends off the books. Now here we are again. I’m completely done with those 2.

Because management was duped by Vuc when he upped his play in a contract year (second time he’s done this for those keeping count at home). I officially could give 2 ****s about this regime now. They already have shown they have no clue how to handle draft picks. I like Bamba and JI but outside of those 2 then seem to mishandle the later picks constantly. Drafts flatten out. I’m done with these clowns. So they had a magic number they wouldn’t go a dollar over. And that magic number was 100 million? Seriously, ***** those guys. I’m not even hating on Vuc. Good for him. He should get every penny he can get. But I really never thought we would ever sign him to something this big and that many years. Shocking.

It’s the years. It just makes no sense. Bamba is gone now. He has no value here. We really just out bid ourselves on Vuch. Crazy. 25 mil average. Yikes. Just so awful. I really don’t think another team in the league was giving him that. This is pathetic. Did we hire Rob back? He has to be behind this.

***** this front office.

I will say as miserable and deflating as I feel towards the Vuc deal (oh, and it’s miserable) there better be more to that. If it’s just throw a lot of years and money at Vuc and Ross and court the same lineup next year it’d be really head scratching. I would hope there’s more to the plan then that.

That team should win like 45 games maybe.

Couldn’t agree more. It goes against literally everything Wes/Ham have said and tried to build too. Just makes zero sense.

Yet we still sign him for 4 years and over 90 million? Like i feared all a long were out here bidding against ourselves.

Yea If there’s 1 team that could jump in at the last minute and do something more dumb then we just did it’s the kings.

I mean it’s good to be positive like you are I can respect that. But like I said when you grow up in Orlando and see the team make the same mistakes for 20+ years it just gets tiring. I’ll always love the magic it’s in my blood I couldn’t stop being a fan even if I wanted to. I just pull back on my commitment level. Like this move isn’t good for us. It’s just not. There’s so many things wrong with it. Yes, we will be alright—but that’s the issue we are once again locked in to being alright. Im still holding out hope.

If this is their plan I hope Mo goes to a team and absolutely becomes great and dominates us every time we play him. Giving up on Mo would be one of the dumbest moves this franchise has made and they’ve made a ton of them.

It’s this blind support that creates a completely soft fan base that allows a franchise to continue to make the same dumb mistakes. Like really think about what you just said. Who else in your life would you make that statement towards? Who else would you blindly follow and support 110% no matter what? I wouldn’t blindly follow my wife. Or my parents. No one. That’s absolute cuck mentality.

Yea and the more I think about it the more I don’t think it’s true. Maybe I spent the past 2 hours ramming my head into a wall for no reason. I just can’t possibly see Ham and Welt being this nearsighted. It’s against everything they’ve said.

Yea this is what I don’t get. I feel like for 5 years we’ve said Vuc is moveable yet no one really seems to want him. He’s not in demand. I’m sure some teams wouldn’t mind him but no one is giving anything substantial up for Vuc or paying him more then we just did.
