They keep showing up no matter what. So much heart up and down this team.

+1000

Great win! The boys showed a ton of heart. How can anyone not love this group of players? Goga is another hidden gem management has found Go Magic!!!

I just can’t understand it either man. I tried to put it into context that he wasn’t signing here due to wanting 30 minutes a night to get his next contract. Once again don’t give management credit for drafting or hiring Mosley either. Oh well. Great response as always CT.

This is so crazy I had to laugh. Well maybe there is a hidden gem that will level up like Franz did the last few weeks. Someone has to score.

Hopefully when Paolo comes back he will get more open looks also. I think he is taking too many threes. This year 6.7 per game compared to last year 5.1 per game.

Yeah you’re not wrong in that he is better than our deep bench guys. It was more he needed a lot of minutes for his next contract. I don’t think we win a Championship this year as young teams take time to break all the way through. That being said I want to see this group of core players have another shot. Then we can make a bigger move if need be. I’m always open for a small move though if it makes us better.

I agree with your order. I would say Boston is third in my hate watch rankings!

Other than a Magic Win a Lakers loss is my favorite outcome in The NBA.

Just to be clear he is not a bad player and is one of the best backups in the league. My point is he wanted 30 minutes a game and we weren’t capable of giving that to him. He will help Phoenix a lot because they had no point guards last year at all. Obviously he is better than Cole Anthony etc. He didn’t want to play ten minutes a game though. It wasn’t even an option for either party because of him wanting this much time this year to get his last good contract.

I am telling you a guy that is a back up on most teams who can’t defend and wanted to start was not going to be happy here at all. He also is not the type of player our front office looks at due to his physical limitations. His Playoff numbers always go down as well. He is getting over 32 minutes a game for Phoenix and wants a bigger pay day next year. I think it worked out form him and for us. But the sky isn’t falling because our awesome team didn’t sign an unhappy Tyus Jones lol How many more wins would we have with him right now? Would we be better than a third seed in The East?

Another tough gritty win. I love this team!

I love people still complaining about management while we are third in The East without our best player. We are one of three best defensive teams the last two years. Tyus Jones does not fit this team at all. He would have taken away from Black as well. Can our GM get any credit for drafting these awesome players and picking the coach? GO MAGIC!

He will most likely be moved this year from what I have read and posted. Probably not to us for a poo poo platter though. They didn’t extend him but he is still a restricted free agent so he will have some trade value. I think he is a great six man but probably not ever going to make an All Star Team for his many deficiencies.

No one has ever denied that Thomas, who can be a restricted free agent next summer after he and Brooklyn didn't come to an extension last month, is a walking bucket. But even after significant jumps in shooting efficiency (46.1% overall, 38.9% from 3) he still is a very ball-dominant player who is a limited passer and questionable defender. Brooklyn is several points better defensively with him sitting -- and actually has a positive net rating (2.9) in his 354 minutes on the bench, compared to a minus-4.5 net rating in his 568 minutes on the court. Brooklyn began its stretch without Thomas Wednesday with a stunning win in Phoenix. For years, rival scouts and executives have had trouble determining Thomas' value. The next month could help shape that. https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/42645321/nba-intel-draft-pick-protections-franchise-decisions-watch
