    Random fact i just discovered. DLo has already lived in Orlando, as he attended Montverde Academy. Thus, him signing here wouldn’t be too random.

    I’m planning on scouting him later tonight. I am interested to see how he looks this year in The Playoffs.  His best version would admittedly be a good fit here.

    Russel still scares me a bit.  Don’t forget he has Lebron to keep him in line.  He has been bad his last few stops before The Lakers.  I think he is a very low Basketball IQ player.  Maybe the Denver Laker Series will make me change my mind.  He got benched a lot last year in Conferense Finals.

    Yes I agree with what everyone is saying about our exceeding expectations this season.  That being said, a potential playoff run is a terrible thing to waste.  There’s never any guarantee you get back there next year.  It’s why, if we meekly lose in the first round or don’t even make the playoffs, I’ll consider this an opportunity that was missed.  
     

    We had a good idea what we needed at the trade deadline, and didn’t do anything to improve.  

    This is the number one reason we are in this position.

    Klay needs plays to be drawn up for him. I don’t think we are that type of team right now.. 

    Easiest way for this team is to get players that can playmake and create by themselves. 

    I really liked Klay a lot when he was in his prime. I wouldn’t be against adding him but orlandoholic does have a point.  I do think we need another creator. We are so dependent and Paolo and to a lesser extent Franz.  He makes the list of potential free agents though because of his historically great shooting.

    If Franz doesn't go down we win at Houston and probably the Bucks and all is well..

    but thats just my opinion 

    the whole mood of magic social media..twitter etc etc is like its the end of the world... very fickle fans... not all of course.. 

    We are making the playoffs directly without a doubt!! 

     

    I’m so glad you post so much Jay. There are so many Debbie downers it’s ridiculous.

    Paolo has had a pretty bad run the past few weeks, and I think I forget all the time that he’s 21 years old at the end of his 2nd year in the league. He’s being asked to do and take on so much of our offense just due to lack of offensive talent and he needs help.
     

    Last night he played I think pretty similarly to how he did the 8 games Franz missed earlier in the season where he had to do everything because nobody else could. Difference is that when Franz was out earlier, we were missing like our entire rotation, last night it was just Franz and Paolo didn’t have to force the way he did. Also, if we keep up the ramming our head down and hoping for foul calls we’re gonna be out quick.

    Thank you for having a realistic take.  Too many people complaining about our 21 year old All Star for my taste.  He’s being asked to do way too much in my opinion.  We are seeing we need a lead guard for sure the last few games.  Even when everyone is healthy our offense is just bad.  If Franz can’t shoot anymore that furthers the point of needing a star in backcourt.

    I’m kind of torn on D Lo. He was bad in Golden State and the moment Mike Conley replaced him in Minnesota they got better. Also he got benched in the fourth quarters of the Western Conference Finals last year.  The Ringer has had a vendetta against him for years talking about his low BB IQ. Russilo and Simmons have had many rants about fan bases talking themselves into him only to hate him after a few months. 
     

    All of that being said he can shoot!  He’s not a huge  needle mover though and I’m afraid we would overpay for him.  I’d still rather trade for Murray or someone else.
