    Actually Dj probably tops the list. So what exactly is wrong with Aminu anyway? I'm guessing he probably should have had surgery but they tried to just let it heal. I hope i'm wrong.

    Nah, signs point to him being into basketball because he is big and tall. Honestly, no slight towards him, everyone has a different journey. I'm hoping like many people that he develops good chemistry with Cole and this brings out the best in him.

    The vets will get all the minutes, and Clifford will play them all every second he can to squeeze out every win he can. After all that's his job. Hopefully this year the continuity factor helps and we start off hot. Amazing that we still never hear much about Aminu and his injury. Add him to the top of the list of things i want to see.

    Yes this is what will happen. Depending on what our record and health is like at the deadline. Just for fun, one last bigtime shake-up fantasy trade i worked on. https://tradenba.com/trades/biqr3sBeh So we didn't do much this week and neither did the Kings. The trade above is a suggestion if Kings match the offer to Bogdan. I'll try reason why both teams would do this. The reason the Magic might do something like this is to solidify the future. It would be nice to have a great shooter signed next to Fultz and Isaac if we plan on retaining them. We actually save 3.5 million right now and a total of ten million next year to help resign Fultz and Isaac. Evan is gone anyway and now we do not have to worry about his replacement. It moves us towards being a better offensive team. If Fultz improves and Isaac comes back healthy we might have a more balanced team next year. Sacramento would do this because it makes sense if they like Bogdan's versatility more then Hield. They just drafted Haliburton, he will take over once Evan is gone and Bogdan can play both Shooting guard and Small forward. Gordon makes the money work and will help them. It will hurt us losing Gordon this year but i think it could help us construct a balanced team when Jonathan comes back.

    A fast start can really help this team. They need confidence. Health,development,aggressive Fultz and some of our players starting the year hot. Let's face it, two of the last 3 years the whole team was ice cold. And the one hot year it only lasted 15 games.Then I'll be excited. If we squeak into an eighth seed and Fultz and Bamba still look like rookies it will be depressing. Always the chance Chuma, Cole or maybe even Bacon explodes. That would be exciting.

    After all my complaining I agree. Some of these moves absolutely reek of desperation. With a little luck we could be in a good place two years from now. Let's stay healthy and wreck some east teams. Well, except Philly,Bucks,Celtics.

    Now, this is a story all about how My tweets got flipped-turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute And I'm not being silly I'll tell you how I went to a team in south Philly I learned Magic for eight years. Traveled to La-La Land. Learned a bit about Rockets. But i didn't understand Flew with Hawks and Hornets, filling up my pockets Maxin' Relaxin, all was good Till i met a wise Wizard in my neighborhood. I begged and pleaded, i said let me be He said you act like a child so listen to me! Your reputation is bad, your skills just ok. You better take the minimum and join Lebron in L.A.! I whistled for a cab and when it came bye The license plate said Shaq makes you cry I told everyone who listened, that's not fair Never mind, i need a ring, Yo home to Bel air Well i got my ring! now don't be a hater If you want to hear how, i'll smell you later Loved being on top, i wanted to stay Even made a tweet on deadline day. I thought i was loved, i thought i was needed But it was just a mistake, what i tweeted They laughed at me, thought i was silly So i packed up my bags and went to south Philly.

    Same old team. Really the only reason to watch is to see if Fultz makes the jump. That's it, the only draw. Some of you might say Bamba or Cole. I do not expect either to play much the first 2 months, and i doubt they look good. I mean i want them too but if they do it'll be in the second half. Maybe they finally get off to a quick start, if not i'm getting a Tampa Bay Raptors Jersey. Below is a little joke song i made up about Dwight. It's mine, i didn't copy it from redditt.

    Don't worry they will both get injured 1 week before trade deadline. Just kidding, in all honesty this is the year Evan goes. It just won't be for much of anything.

    Matthew McConaughey told me why he likes the Magic. He said he gets older and the Magic stay the same.

    No doubt, but can we take advantage? So many 3 team deals and so many teams with extra younger and cheaper wings. We know we have to pay Fultz and Isaac. Let's get a few cheaper guys and hope one hits! Evans numbers are easily as good as some of these crap players getting big money. Holy cow it's 2016 all over again. Edit... we really need to get in on the Bucks, Pelicans deal.

    How do the Rockets have any cap space?

    2020 Official Off-Season Thread

    No i've always thought our contracts are tradeable, which is why every offseason and deadline i'm shocked nobody is gone. How many seasons have we been sub .500 at the trade deadline? Not bored enough to look.

    Bad teams are being bad again. Detroit and Atlanta.....playing the game but the fit...omg! Both teams have have players that do not fit at all. Can't wait to see what Chicago and Charlotte do, we are gonna be the 8th seed for sure.

    Yeah are Centers back? During the playoffs they were huge. During the offseason, lot's or rumors around centers. Starting free agency centers are signing early meaning teams are afraid of missing out. Curious to see where Favors,Ibaka,Gasol,Whiteside and Thompson go.

    Canadian Oladipo. So far i can say, thank God we don't root for the Pistons. I can't understand what they are doing.

    About $5.50 per pound. I like it it, better then having Frazier and the other fringe players we have had.

    The funny thing about the Aminu signing, it was almost prescient. Turned out we needed a forward because of injuries, but he was the first one!

    Two things i see from this tweet. Number 1, why can't we have Desmond Bane ,lol! Number 2 incoming Celtics trade.

    2020 Official Draft Thread

    They do not need a power forward. I am assuming Vucevic would be gone? I don't really like Hayward the person but he is a really good player. We would have to get Daniel Theis as well since Bamba isn't ready yet. Anyway, i just don't see it working out but stranger things have happened. Edit; Here you go just for fun. https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2020_totals.html#totals_stats::fg3 If it went down it would surely be an ascending contract for Gordon. Kanter opted in so the Celtics would be trying to trade one of Kanter or Theis along with Gordon. They might even want to trade a 3rd player since they would go over the luxury cap to after signing their rookies.

    I think people already said this but Rodney hood is currently the most logical free agent to sign. Unless we worried about his injury. He turned down a 6 million dollar option, maybe he is seeking a place he can get minutes and regain his value back.

    Yes he has the anti-clutch gene. So what, look at Paul George. Evans regular season numbers are very good. Evan would have looked really good next to Steph. LIke we have all said, all of our players are second or third types. If we had an Alpha it would take away half of Evans bad shots/bad plays because he wouldn't have the ball!

    Sign and trade at a cheaper salary. Watch the Celtics get better while we have no small forwards on our roster. Edit. Apparently this cannot happen. So i guess he is gone without the Celts getting anything.
