Denver be sloppier than a bbq pulled pork sammich right now. Let's hope that lead is enough

Addition by subtraction. I'm fine with minimal moves right now and here is why. The problem with the Magic is less a lack of talent and more that they're still figuring out how to win on a consistent basis. Anyone got time for a story? For anyone who watches hockey, they remind me A LOT of the Edmonton Oilers about 7 years ago. They had the most insane lottery luck in history. They got the #1 pick 3 times in a row and the league had to change the rules. Then they go and win that **** again by basically landing hockey's LeBron James in Connor McDavid. After McDavid's 1st season you had this embarrassment of riches in high picks with all this potential in McDavid, Hall (a 1st overall), Eberle, Nugent-Hopkins (a 1st overall), Draisaitl (a 3rd overall), and now they've got the 4th overall pick with yet another high scoring player from Finland falling into their lap. They moved on from a 1st overall named Yakupov who was like the NHL's Mo Bamba except the guy skated like he was being chased by bees. Brought nothing to the table. Magic have Isaac, Fultz, Banchero, Wagner, Suggs, Anthony (maybe Bol too) and it's very possible the Bulls are gonna **** the bed and the Magic wind up picking something like 6th overall AND let's not forget lightning could strike twice and they win the #1 pick again. It's a potential embarrassment of riches and potential. Imagine Wemby here for 2 seconds on top of whoever we'd land if the Bulls crap out. It's insane. The point is the Oilers went and IMMEDIATELY *****ed everything up and plundered their treasure for basically nothing. They could not have done worse. Hall was arguably one of the best even strength scorers in the game and he got traded for defensive help that didn't do enough. Eberle and Yakupov got traded for basically absolutely nothing players who did not help the team. The guy from Finland is an oversized goof that watches the game happen around him. And to replace the scoring power they lost and the GM, went after an old flame on the wrong side of 30 he had when he won the Cup in Boston in 2011 in Milan Lucic -who is considered one of the worst free agent signings in NHL history because he had 1 good year and his career took a tailspin ever since. Their GM was a guy named Peter Chiarelli and it has been hailed as among the worst roster management of the in modern era. This took place in like 2016. And the Oilers have LITERALLY only just now gotten out of that mess. The point is the Magic aren't under the gun to win it all right now. We're finally recovering from the Dwightmare and rebuilding from our rebuild. This is the most hope we've had in ages. Sit on your cap space. Let the young guns get better. Pray to God you get lucky. Don't plunder your riches. Not yet. Wait for it. Wait for the right moment to come by. This was always gonna be the last year in the wilderness. Ride it out

I'm okay with this to the extent that the future lies in the lottery balls anyway. If the Magic have one more miracle in them, probably every guard they have is on the table in order to get a better one

Whelp!! Scratch that dream. Come on lottery luck...

Wait a second.... For who though? If it's for Cole, both 1sts (ours protected) something else like Houstan and Ross it MIGHT work. They already don't work with our chemistry We need someone who can score 30 on a whim and none of guys really do it that much

As long as they don't want an arm and leg for Vanderbilt. The problem with the Magic is they're loaded with so many pieces they can't part with and the ones they can probably won't fetch much

Lame!!

TMF goes harder than Shaq in paint

Did Luka seriously like Mose that much? Like yeah I've heard about it but y'all just aren't blowing it up are you? My man's got like 200 million reasons to stick around for the next 5 years and I don't think there's anything we can offer (except Paolo) that would even get Dallas on the phone for a trade. And without Paolo what's the point?

At this point, trade Bamba and Ross for guys who will come off the bench. Pray to whatever deity it is you worship that the Magic win the Wemby sweepstakes. I hate to say it but with how stupid players are only wanting to go to LA and NY this may be the best play the Magic have. If the **FULL** significance of a rebuilt bench + Wemby + cap space hasn't hit you yet, you'll run out of the room screaming when it does. Add another bucket of a free agent (because we're gonna suddenly be so attractive) to Wemby, current roster AND high draft pick the Magic could win as many as 50-60 games as long as coaching is up for it. If Mose can't do it we ask what Stan is doing these days. Honest to God I have no beef with him because he got put in a **** situation because of Dwight and the front office going full derp

We're gonna get blown the F out. For whatever reason these guys can take it to Philly and Boston but the Hornets are kryptonite

Suggs didn't deserve a suspension. He was trying to break it up and derped like super hard in order to do it. As a hockey fan, I can place and source Bamba and Rivers' passions and respect it. I just wish Bamba was able to channel such an emotional response more often into his play. I'm certain he's played his last game. Parting from him and Ross makes sense at this point

Keep Suggs. Cole has the ability to take over games and have amazing nights but it's not a consistent thing yet. Suggs is amazing defensively. I think we just gotta lock the young man into a gym with a shooting coach all offseason and he's good.

He will go to some contender for cheap while the Magic would have to pay a fortune. Pass on that headache

Not game related but holy crap Kyrie sucks. I know our team isn't good but thank God we don't have to deal with **** like that right now

It's not even a joke at this point. They're definitely betting on themselves to win the lottery again

Dude I gotta call BS on that. If he actually did that then he literally channeled Michael Jordan for one night. That would be more than amazing

No u

We out-willed them

Woof

I'm genuinely curious how much Isaac being in would have affected the game without being on any kind of minutes restriction

Victory Pizza has supplanted Gritty as the single greatest mascot in history. Holy **** boys

I'm good with Harris sticking around. Bamba and Ross are too inconsistent for the amount of playing time they get. Cole is dangerously close to falling into that category too
