I'm very impressed by the Lakers win.No Lebron or A.D.

I watched the second half. Was impressed until the end.Nothing new here, it's already been said.Need an alpha, Vuc and Evan are great players who should be on a team with an alpha.Glad Fultz took it inside before the horrendous turnover, hopefully soon it will click for him. Vucevic and Evan same old ****. I like Vucevic and since we already signed him i'm happy with him, would have rather went cheap at center but whats done is done. We need to sell high on Evan, it's not worth the playoff spot.He will actually do better on another team.He should be the sixth man on a higher seed. Get me some young shooting guards, i'm all in on Fultz, Isaac and Bamba.....since he's two years away.

I don't think it's that complicated. Trea is a small player who plays in an era and on a team that allows him to jack up as many shots as he wants. He is also offensively gifted, and the shot is legit. He's always going to score but can he stay healthy? Also his teams will probably struggle in the playoffs against certain match ups.If the Hawks assemble a team to deal with those match-ups they can do well. I would be more worried about his health and paying him 40 million a year when the time comes.

I know people hate trade talk after a win but i have a question. Does anyone think Evan is a beloved member of the team?Do you think it would mess with team Chemistry if he was gone at the deadline?I know it would probably effect Vuc. What do you think?

Team looks good, the wins are impressive.Unless we have more injuries i would say we are a playoff lock. Mostly because the teams behind us are just flat out bad. Question in the next month is how we look against good teams. Edit. Only the Bulls and Hornets have the ability to go on a run. The Bulls need to fire the coach, not sure how the man has a job. Charlotte can go on a run with a couple of small trades. Some of their vets are awful, addition by subtraction.

NO! One thing i like about our team is they are almost always playing hard. Jeff is just earning a paycheck these days.

I feel pretty much like you do. I was never worried about his shot, i just thought he made too many mistakes and couldn't draw contact around the basket. Honestly we simply needed a real veteran point guard and he would have blossomed in Orlando.Even though i wish him the best, imagine if he was still here. The last two years would have been rough on him with our ownership.I'm guessing we would have made the playoffs that one year he was good and lost horribly while he was hurt.Truth is he has had only one good year in this league. Would have been a lot of pressure on him.

It's all relative.Thunder have legit players who are all healthy.Adams,Paul and Gallinari are good veterans. Meanwhile Schroder and Shai took a leap this year and look great. However they are the seventh seed and the Rockets are 3rd.I don't watch enough basketball to tell you why. Westbrook is an inefficient player but playing with Harden means he has the ball less, so maybe it all works out. At some point at the very least Gallinari will be traded and Paul will get hurt. I will always believe it was Presti's plan to get rid of Westbrook and keep Durant. However, that cap spike in 2016 allowed the Warriors to get him and the rest is history. I wish we could be in on some of those Thunder players but the salaries just don't match with us. I hope they keep everyone and go for the playoffs, i want to see them play the Rockets!

I think Tom going to Vegas would create the biggest buzz.

So what is the boards final thoughts on DeRozan? Terrible move no matter what? OK move if they take back Aminu's contract? Decent move if we gain a pick? LOSE A PICK? Decent move if it free's up money the year we have to pay Futlz and Isaac? Just getting some last minute thoughts because if it's going to happen it will be soon.

Mostly i mean he didn't pout. Anyway the warriors just released Marquese Chriss. Is he someone we should pick up for front court depth.

Yeah, it sucks.

Considering that we re signed Vucevic i wish we had picked Michael Porter, too bad he was such an injury risk. Considering what we did with Chuma, maybe we should have. We played better without Bamba last year.I hope Bamba becomes something special.

I'm not buying it, Both JJ and Mike Miller never did squat for the Magic. They had good careers on other teams. I think our draft history is pretty poor. You know my biggest fear with the Doncic draft was we were going to win the lotto and pick Ayton. Not because i knew Luka was going to be this good. No, we have a history of picking great centers with Number 1 picks. That year i was sure Luka,Trea and Jaren Jackson were better then Ayton. I figured management would cave into pressure and take Ayton. Guess we will never know who they really wanted although all rumors point to Trea. Edit. Looking back that draft is going to be an all time good one. Already i can spot 1 superstar and 3 all-stars from the top 15 along with several high level rotation players. I'm not even counting Bamba yet. Double Edit: WOW!! I forgot that Devonte Grahm, Mitchell Robinson and Michael Porter Jr went in this draft too!

Yes the best thing about the night is how Vuc and Evan played when not being the main scorer.

If Tom Brady leaves the Patriots, i wouldn't mind the Bucs picking him up.It only takes one magical run.

Nice win, it's time for the youth movement. Make it or break it.

Got to make our FT. Let's go Magic!

I think Gordon should be banned from taking a 3 like Simmons until it clicks. Gordon is hurt and playing since Aminu and Isaac are out but lets not make him a martyr. If he can't play they will take him out.

Again!

Gordon at the basket!

To anyone not watching it's a whole bunch of guys who think they are better then they are missing everything. We are winning because of first quarter Fultz and second quarter D.J. Also alot of rebounds!

Wow....

Augustin taking over

Same old Bamba..
