    somehow Fultz learned how to shoot with that hitch in the paint. At least something.. 

    But he looks like he won’t be able to shoot with a regular form going forward.. Really strange

    Come on   give the guy a break, lol

    And I would still keep him over Cole.

    Since he came in 2 fouls and 2 forced shots

    What if Fultz stays healthy the rest of the year ? What if Fultz doesn’t get traded and the Magic climb back up the East standings and make an impressive showing in the playoffs ? Would you still kick him to the curb in favor of someone else ?  Would he not be your starter next season if the Magic dazzle in the playoffs ? 

    I hate to sound like a broken record but nobody knows how this team will perform under the playoff lights .

    Seems like a lot of assuming going on.

    Here’s what I do know as factual …the original starting 5 has been super impressive in their limited time on the court this season …Banchero states Fultz makes his life so much easier …Banchero states he’s yearning for the team to get heathy so they can get better cohesion and start gearing up for the playoffs ….would  a trade upset the apple cart ?

    You guys constantly are harping about team chemistry and getting along …which this team seems to have …you would make a deadline trade in favor of breaking up this team chemistry ? If they do make a deadline deal for a PG 6 weeks is not a long time to rebuild team chemistry and cohesion .

    Having said all this I’m not a business man …that’s why Weltham make the big bucks .

    I’ll say this again …some of you guys that are trade happy should probably pull for the team to lose often these next 7 games …cause I can’t see Weltham pulling the trigger if we start getting it together .

    I agree with all that You posted. Of course IF ...   My post about losing Markelle in the summer or having him come off the bench was a worse case scenario.   And that worse case, to me, says we should keep moving forward with him for now.    I know others strongly disagree.   None of us have any control over this.  Whatever happens I'll still be a fan, lol.

    What i would like to see is Fultz start most of this year and mentor AB.  Then, in the summer, if he is willing to come off the bench, resign him. If not, let him go.

    (yes I know that means no value, but really, other than his expiring contract, he has no value now.

    IIf we trade and Fultz is selling to come off the bench, I say keep him. But if we have a new traded for PG and Fultz, where does that leave AB?

    Is AB more of a shooting guard?  Or does that mean fultz would become 3rd string?

    Again, my first sentence started with "What I would like..."    none of it may be possible or make sense.

    I know that the smart thing is to make trades and get a point guard. But I agree with Junkie     These guys should see this through and see whats what.   I know that means we may lose Markelle and gary for nothing.   I dont think i care.     Play it out. see if Markelle will come off the bench (yes, i have accepted that he is not a starter)   if not, let him go.

    I know that this does not make the most "buisness" sense    But, i work in entertainment as a lighting designer.   My buisness, and this, is not just about the bottom line    It's about trust, loyalty and seeing a project through.  Lets see this through.  Then see where we go

    Team needs a PG desperately and I don’t mean stop gaps.

    It’s been this way for years and it continues to be the elephant in the room.

    Fultz doesn’t fit nor is he dependable.

    Suggs is not a PG.

    Black is not a PG.

    Cole is not a PG.

    Get a good PG who can shoot, handle the ball, make plays and it all will fall into place.

     

    I agree with all of the above. I think Fultz is a good team guy. If he would be happy coming off the bench I say keep him and get a new starting PG.

    You said yourself that we have no back up. Make Fultz the back up.

    This, along with Fultz’s maintenance, is bad on so many levels. Young guys, and young teams, need consistency. Very tired of the situation with these two specifically.

    i agree    but they both seemed strong last night     makes me wonder if these "injury maintenance"  are the players choice or the training staff    and if the staff, how much do they take the players opinions into account?

    OK   i guess that makes sense   and i am not saying that i know better than the players and/or trainers    if they sit they sit

    just curious about why the designation      i guess the anti tanking kinda makes sense,   thanks

    My son , who is more of a hockey fan, said they call it a healthy scratch ... and that it is usually a sign

    that the player is about to be traded

    Hi folks,

     I'm hoping to get a little information from somebody out there. As I posted earlier, I was very disappointed that Fultz is not available tonight. I wanted original starting five to get a run of five games or so before the trade deadline. But I guess that's not gonna happen.

     But then I got to thinking about this not available due to health maintenance designation. Why would you ever list anyone under that condition? Why would you not just have them suit up, and not play them... like we did with Bitaze last night. Whether it's Markel,l Ji whoever, have them suited up, have them on the bench, and just don't play them unless you need to. 

    This would do two things. One, the opposite team would have to game plan for them. And #2 if you really got into trouble and needed to save the game, they would be available. It seems like a really poor tactical decision to list anyone that way. 

    Can someone tell me, is there any real good valid reason to list someone as out for injury maintenance? Rather than just leave them on the bench and not play them? I look forward to all of your greater knowledge informing me lol

    I agree start black      But I also have to say how disappointing it is that Fultz is being held out

    We got a tease last night of how good this team can be, and now it changed again.

    I understand the why, so not angry about it, just disappointing    i wanted to see our starters

    on a second and third game back together to get a real sense before the deadline.
