    I might get hate for this but I don't really care. Not all opinions on here will be or should be liked that's why they are called opinions and not agreements.  I will will throw two major celebrations when these happen in my sporting fandom.  #1 as a Dolphin fan when Brady finally retires.  #2 when Vooch and Fournier are no longer on this roster!  Please let the suffering end!!

    I already told you. Put fultz and Isaac in meaningful games to get them experience and development. Use the next 18 months to build the best team around them we can as our flexibility takes a hit at that point. Gather as many assets as possible so we can be players in the next superstar trade. Bet on fultz and Isaac's prime. 

    I love Isaac and love Fultz.  I don't know if I see star with them and to me putting them in high pressure playoff situations is way overrated.  We don't have the talent base to be something special.  We need more draft picks!  I can see us having this same conversation years from now if things don't dramatically change:)

    C- is probably fine. We're a couple games below where we should be but we're also doing a pretty good job managing these injuries. 

    Who cares!  we are irrelevant you can analyze it however you want we are still at best a 7th seed in the weak east first round beating!  Our young players can get experience?  It doesn't matter if you don't have the talent in the first place!  You obviously move opinions but don't move bull **** to the real fans!

    You don't really know what you're talking about. 

    Really I have a lot of years that say I do.  When you were a child I was watching this league.  The smartest people in life find someone who knows more then they do and listen to them,   copy them,  and learn.  But you seem you have it all figured out! Your hubris is your weakness!!!

    That's all the talent we need to have a foundation. Now it's time to build around those guys. There isn't an alternative method. Unless you want to dump everyone including fultz and Isaac and start from ground zero this is the path forward. 

    You don't tank for an entire roster of young players. You tank for one or two foundational pieces and then build around them. 

    Okay I thought you actually watched the nba!  We are not even close talent wise to anything!  I love our players but you know greatness when you see it and we don't have that.  Fultz is the only one and that is a longshot!!

    We develop fultz and Isaac so that they reach their potential and then put them in the best possible position to succeed going into their prime. 

    Really so that is all the talent we need to win a chip?  Are we just happy with lower playoff seeds or are we trying to win the whole damn thang?  My NFL analogy comes in play now, you would not put up with your NFL team striving for mediocrity?

    Oh so now it doesn't matter if it's a center. 

     

    Well good news, we have a number 1 pick point guard who is the best prospect since we started our rebuild other than Zion and a potential DPOY type player. Mission accomplished. Now let's develop them. 

    Don't be dumb.  We have Fultz, Isaac and Bamba.  In no sane world is that enough top end talent!  We need that dude.  You know it and I know it!  So how do we get there?

    When is the next generational #1 pick center coming in the draft? It's not this year so why do we have to worry about that today?

    Does not have to be a center or in this draft.  You have to put yourself in a position do draft a franchise changing player.  It is not a perfect science and we will miss but what other option is there?  No free agent star is coming here without a star in place:)

    It means your post was a non sequitur relative to what going on. It's not relevant to anything. You're complaining about something that isn't really relevant to what's going on today with the team. Martins hasn't been relevant to basketball decisions for almost 3 years. We aren't stuck in mediocrity yet because the core of our team is still extremely young. You're having anxiety about choices that aren't important for 18 months

    2 centers 2#1picks 2 finals.  Stop!  Everything else is you just liking you!

    Keep trying to get to the playoffs as that's the best way to develop young players. By throwing them into games that matter. 

    Keep gathering talented players

    Position ourselves as a good option for the next superstar trade like embiid, towns, giannis, Beal. 

    Try to assemble the best team possible by July 2021 to hit the ground running into fultz and Isaac's prime. 

    Live with whatever results we get from that through 2025 unless worst case scenario happens. 

    If it doesn't work rebuild. If it does work reload into those guys late 20s early 30s

    No that's garbage and you know it.  Sounds like the company line.  We have never done crap in our history except for drafting 2 centers #1 in the NBA draft that led us to 2 finals.  Cant be disputed and that is the truth

    What does that even mean?  I have seen and experienced more basketball than you?  I have been around since the inception of this franchise and you are just new to the game?  You have very insightful knowledge you share on here and I have learned from you and I appreciate it.  But humble yourself a bit!  Your a baby when it comes to bball knowledge!

    Here is my analogy and please feel free to rip it apart.  We are here for debate about the team we love.  Okay signing Vuc is like the Dolphins giving fitzpatrick a long term deal..  You might win some games but overall you are going to be below average because that is just who that player is.  We are so just mediocre.  I don't think people would accept their NFL team not trying to win why are we accepting mediocrity from our Magic and think it's okay?

    It’s embarrassing how at the end of games we only have 3 players capable of doing anything. Fournier, Tross and Vooch. It basically turns into 5 against 3 with Fournier usually forcing something. Until we have a player who can finish a game the way Devin Booker did tonight we will never be anything other than a 7-8 seed who gets swept in playoffs

    Great point and how many years have we be saying that exact statement?  We will never go anywhere or be anything until we get a great player.

    I feel like this Magic franchise is just in a state of limbo don't know what the plan or the future is just straight up mediocrity.  Pick a path and just commit to it but stop trying to toe the line of being competitive and developing talent.  First off you do not have the talent on the roster to ever compete for anything meaningful.  You have pieces in Isaac, Fultz, and Bamba but that is all.
