    As good as Noel was on defense, he played 26 mins, he's 6'11 and he had 2 rebounds. That's beyond abysmal.

    Elfrid really struggles facing pressure while dribbling with his left hand.

    RDM is playing really well.

    I don't really think he has the handle to play point in the NBA. He's a 2/3 to me.

    Marble and Osby have been best players thus far.

    Kelly Olynyk reminds me of Spencer Hawes.

    So far Napier has had the ball stolen by Colton Iverson and Kelly Olynyk and been crossed up by Phil Pressey.

    Smart vs Shabazz should be interesting.

    Abysmal. Don't think they have any draft picks on their roster though.

    Dequan Jones starting for the Indiana team.
  12. I quite enjoyed that. Wasn't anything I didn't already know really other than Payton has set himself some real high goals which I'm happy about. I sure hope he becomes one of the best players in the league.
  13. Yea you're late to this party haha

    Who's going to be our starting PG ??? (zach lowe)

    The Magic ran a lot of 3 guard sets last year with Dipo, Jameer and Aaron and even Moore and I don't think that was a decision based solely on personnel. I don't expect Willie Green to see the court much, probably play about 45 games and average 10-15 mins. So really we'll have Payton, Dipo, Fournier and Gordon playing consistent minutes at guard. I still wouldn't mind another legit PG but as it stands I can certainly see Dipo and Fournier initiating the offense some.

    I like him, he's got enough of a post game where I wouldn't feel bad giving him some touches down there. He is a great pick and pop guy in the midrange and from 3 and he's a great guy to have spot up in the corner. With the amount of athletic, attack the rim guys we have It'd be nice to have a consistent shooter especially a stretch 4 who can distort the defense a little. He's athletic enough as well and can get up and down the court in transition. I think a stretch 4 will always be valuable so we should be able to move him fairly easily should we need to clear cap room for any reason. He's a good character and still relatively young to boot. Plus his rebounding weakness is mitigated slightly by the fact that he'd play next to Vuc who gobbles up boards.

    For all this debating it seems pretty unlikely that the Magic will offer Parsons a deal anyway.

    I think Payton starts. We might bring in an experienced back up or we might just bring in a SL guy who impresses to play some back up.

    I believe they declined his team option because he would become an unrestricted free agent next offseason. He probably declined the meeting because he was focusing on his own free agency.

    Welcome Ben Gordon- Magic Sign Ben Gordon for 2 years $9M

    Yea I know... It's confusing. He got a lot of bad press for clashing with a coach that got fired after one season, obviously it's not great he clashes with his coach but feel like he just wasn't a very good coach. But I get the impression he never really wanted to be in Charlotte anyway. He's obviously got questionable character but we'll see whether that will be a problem since he chose to sign here presumably with the understanding that he's not going to be a featured player.

    Wow... All this over Chandler Parsons.

    Welcome Ben Gordon- Magic Sign Ben Gordon for 2 years $9M

    I've been worried about his attitude as well but 2 of our assistant GM's have had experience with Gordon (Lloyd at Chi and Perry with Det) so if he's really not a good guy they'd know and we probably wouldn't have signed him. I was thinking that he might have a relationship with Maxiel from his Piston days as well... But obviously that doesn't matter if we waive him.

    Patterson averages 7.4 rebounds per 36 for his career which, for a 6'9 athletic PF, is pretty poor. Oladipo averages about 5 rebounds per 36 and he's a 6'4 guard.

    I actually wouldn't mind Patterson. He'd bring some much needed shooting and everything I've heard about his character is positive.
