Also Kevon Harris signed a training camp deal with the Clips. Good for him.

Schedule is out. Magic have 5 nationally televised games and a further 4 on NBA TV. We open the season @ Miami on 10/24. We have two 5 game road trips and a 6 game road trip. Only 2 of our first 9 games are at home. Only 2 of our last 6 games are at home. 13 back to backs. This schedule kind of sucks at first glance lol

Chuma was an analytics darling pre-draft and I think he was worth the draft gamble. If he didn't change his jumper to that really weird one handed form I think he'd be a rotation player already if not a starter.

Chuma signed a contract with New York. Good for him.

I'm in the same boat now. Would rather see what we've got in TDS and Jett.

It's entirely possible we never wanted Huff as a 2 way but more that we thought we needed a good C for summer league to help development and he likewise thought it was a good spot to showcase himself. But I liked him so this kind of sucks.

Seen the nickname: "Da Silva Surfer" kicking about and i like it lol

Pretty sure this was Kevin Pelton too who's model was quite low on TDS pre-draft. Incidentally John Hollinger who had TDS in a tier "I do not get it" and ranked 51st on his board pre-draft (any guesses why Hollinger is out of the NBA decision making game? Lol) had him as All Summer League 2nd team.

Cory Joseph is a 15th man vet minimum who didn't have a roster spot the back half of the year after getting waived. Id bet money that if everyone's healthy he doesn't even get in the rotation.

Finally watched yesterday's game. Theo Maledon was kind of not great. Jay Huff still the only unsigned guy to consistently impress me. Tristan Da Silva could be an impactful oleplayer from day 1. The jumper looks so good.

Sad day for Magic fans. Pat was a legend. Rest in peace.

Last summer I was convinced he was going to be great this year. Injuries suck. The triple double against the Lakers with the clutch buckets in a 1 point win in 2020 was one of the most hype Magic performances of the past decade for me. Love Markelle the person. Wish him well.

Actually, I don't really care either way about Corey Joseph the player apart from it felt like we needed a vet at guard. We could undoubtedly have added someone more talented to the roster but this feels like "old head, benchwarmer with experience who won't get in the way of our young guys but could give you 10 minutes in December in a pinch.

I like it. Solid vet who won't care about getting DNPs.

Worth noting Xavier Moon is 29 years old. He should look good in summer league. I personally don't like Bediako or Culver. Culver has got a lot of tools but he looks lost on the court half the time. Don't see anything in Bediako honestly and he was -23 in the Pelicans game in less than 10 minutes.
