As long as you don’t like KAT you’re good in my book lol. I love Halliburton’s game tbh he reminds me of Steve Nash the way he pushes the pace and hands out those assists. Sure the shot is ugly but he gets buckets. I don’t think either of these East teams will be able to keep up with the foul hunting SGA and the Thunder but that’s a discussion for another day.

Brunson whines more than the whole Pacers team combined and KAT is just as goofy he’s always flexing on someone. I hope the Pacers win to send that team and fan base home crying.

This may be a hot take but if Franz doesn’t fix his outside shot or develop a dependable mid range game like Derozan he’d be the player I’d trade away not Suggs. This is a guard dominant league and you just don’t give up on a guy like Suggs this early in his career. Nonetheless should be a fun summer of speculation.

I wouldn’t because Suggs has that IT factor on the defensive end and his offense is finally starting to come around. Sure he’s had some injury problems but so did Steph when he first entered the league and GS didn’t give up on him. I think Suggs is realizing how important he is to our team when he’s available and hopefully he won’t be so reckless out on the court this year. If we can somehow pair Garland and Suggs in the backcourt that’s gonna be scary…

I’m strapped in and ready as well. It’s time to finally put this Magic team back on the map and competing for a championship!

But if we’re healthy we can beat anyone! Doesn’t matter if we can’t put the ball in the basket we have length and a close knit group of players. The sky’s the limit!!!!

While I completely agree that’s nearly not enough to get Johnson, if there’s a remote chance we can get him without giving up too much more I’d be all for it. Then we get another Pg via free agency or trade and we will be quite dangerous next year.

Hard pass. I’m over signing guys who can never stay healthy and he’s on the wrong side of 30.

I love me some Vassel too but I’d prefer a PG added to our roster if that’s the only move Weltman’s making. Ideally though we at least need to bring in a PG and another SG.

I know but so was Luka and yet here we are. If SA believes Fox is their answer at PG and their FO decides they want to start competing for a championship starting next season it could happen but you’re right not holding my breath. Maybe we get lucky and Luka asks to be traded to Orlando!

A player I’d love to target before he breaks out would be Stephon Castle. He has great size for the guard position, finishes well around the basket, can create his own shot, is no slouch on defense, and his 3 ball looks decent with plenty of room for improvement. Maybe SA trades him to acquire more established players if they have a win now mandate but definitely a player I’d be watching if I were the Magic FO.

I’d add WCJ regressed pretty badly as well and Franz 3 point shot is looking worse every year. He had nothing wrong with it coming out of college and now it’s broken.

I hear you man and I agree Weltman has been trash and should have been fired a couple of years ago. If he doesn’t make any moves this offseason to address our pg/shooting issues he needs to get fired simple as that or it just further proves these owners aren’t serious about winning.

If there were ever a night for KCP to catch fire from 3 and silence the haters it would be tonight. However I’m not hopeful we’ll get it done on the road in a hostile environment against the defending champs. Whatever happens I’m proud of Paolo and Franz for proving they can be a legitimate and dangerous 1-2 scoring punch in this league. Now let’s use the offseason to address the flaws the rest of our roster has and finally bring a championship home to this well deserving fan base and city of Orlando!

Yup and I’d like to see Suggs slide back to his natural position at the 2. Sure it’s nice that he’s learning the 1 but it’s not a natural fit and he’s better suited playing the 2. Give me a solid starting pg and it will unlock the true potential of this team. Slide KCP down to the 2nd unit or cut our losses and trade him. Bottom line our stars clearly need help and I hope Weltman finally gets off his ass and does something about it.
