    I tried so hard to be really excited about this year even I  Mr. logical let my fandom get in the way of common sense.  It has been the same sense Dwight left if we don't have a star to build around everything else is pointless!!  I know I  don'I have  excitement to be a low ****ty seed in the East to get bounced out in the playoffs and pretend we are heading in the right direction.

    It is so tiresome to hear people on here complain about the officiating all the freaking time.  If you have watched the NBA long enough you can expect things to not always go your way when it comes to the officiating.  And yes there will be egregious calls that go for you or against you.  Plus this team has no star and no  high volume FT shooters and more importantly no reputation for taking it hard to the hoop so what do you expect?  Sound like a lot of people had high expectations for this team this year and we kinda suck right now.  So the easy scapegoat right now is officiating.

    I usually have a decent idea of the win total of this team the last few years.  But this year the variance between the ceiling and the floor is so huge because of so many variables I have no idea. I know one thing this season is going to be exciting as hell and tell us a lot.  Isaac, Fultz, and to a lesser degree Bamba are the keys.

    I’m glad you can get a good laugh but when a guy is fighting to stay in the league he will take whatever he can get. Laugh all you want but Melo coming off the bench is exactly what we need with all the defense we have and no legitimate go to iso scorer. Again I’d take a flyer as long as he knows his role is to come off the bench and be a scoring specialist. 

    I watched his interview with Stephen A. Smith and came away really impressed with Melo.  I believe at this point you would get the very best of him.

    Unfortunately the NBA is a business, GMs try to keep their job by getting casual fans to show up to the games and make the owners profit. I had been getting ready for this tragedy for a long time.

    Even our gameplan whenever Ross led the second unit was a little funny. Just let him jack up shots because no one else could score

    We’re paying close to luxury tax money for a team that’s not guaranteed to make the playoffs 

    I will get a lot of crap for this but I believe ever since Alex Martins took over the direction of the franchise changed.  Words matter and it went from "We want to bring a championship to Orlando" to "We want to build a consistent competitive team"  Or something to that effect.  Welcome to the treadmill Magic fans!

     I do care about the money.   But more then that I care about the type of player Vooch is.  You cannot have your so called best player be an inefficient center who ranked 133rd in points per shot which he was one of the worst centers in the league because he doesn't go to the line and hit that many 3's  .  You have to play at a slow pace to maximize his game which hinders our young athletes who would be better playing up tempo.  One of the main reasons we were towards the bottom in the league in offense.   We would have been better off signing a short term cheaper option until Bamba was ready.  That was the opinion of many on this board.

    There hasn't been any news on Vuc today yet. Weird. Maybe everyone just assumes it's a done deal. 

    How on earth is Tobias Harris about to get paid like double what AG makes. That's outrageous. 

    I like Aminu. I think we'll basically run a 3 man forward rotation of Isaac/AG/Aminu and then any other minutes left over will be taken up by small ball lineups that include Ross, Fournier or Iwundu at the 3. 

    We must really believe in Fultz to not strengthen our point guards at all this summer. And that's super exciting. Like we could be about to watch a future 30 for 30 documentary next season.

    I say that and then we'll trade for Goran Dragic or something..

    I hate everything that happened today except for the Ross signing.  They have to know something about Fultz or the offseason is not over.  Something is just missing that brings it all together hopefully.

    I don't exactly know what Isaac's offensive potential is.  What I do know is if he ever develops a consistent jump shot the man is close if not 7 ft  (taller then Vuc) and should be able to shoot over almost everyone.  As far as Gordon goes how many players in NBA history have made a somewhat significant leap in their 6th season?  Honest question I really don't know.  If Fultz is not huge moving forward I see a treadmill team with a bad cap situation.  As a Magic fan for 30 years who watches every game I can it was a really depressing day outside of the Ross signing.
