    1. The options at this deadline suck and there is such a thing as making matters worse by making a ****ty trade.

    2. If we do make a trade it will be announced within 45 mins of the deadline bc that’s how Hammond operates.

    I want something to happen like all of us do bc this team has issues but this notion that this deadline could fix things is wrong in general.

    1. Not true. Almost everyone is available.

    2. We’ll see.

    A GM has an off season and the deadline to move further. Last off season, they drafted a kid who doesn’t play, and resigned a guy who should’ve been let go. They do nothing this deadline, it’s basically getting paid to not work and produce. It’s been 2.5 years and we’re in the same spot as last year. That’s not acceptable.

    Not you are not

    ****...You don’t know me man.

    Born and raised in Orlando right there at Florida Hospital in Winter Park. Been a fan since the beginning. Played b-ball and studied for almost my entire youth. Wore the jerseys, wore the shirts, even dreamed of playing for them one day. Was going to go the CBA route and try that one after one year in college.

    Let me tell you, I stopped watching the NBA on TV as an whole years ago after LeBron to MIA, after the refs started messing with the game, etc. Few years ago, after the whole Skiles hiring and fiasco, I stopped watching Magic basketball. First time since 89 man. I still watch clips. I got a good eye for talent and I like to talk about it since it’s been a huge outlet in my life growing up. However I haven’t bought anything Magic related or watched them in a while. 
     

    I have the type of personality that after so many tries, I do walk away. I find something else as hard it is. Playing B-ball has been replaced the last 20 years with gym and occasional surf and other stuff.

    I have no qualms about walking away from stagnation.

    Does that mean for good? For me usually, but a new FO could come in and become proactive. I don’t know if that happens with the ownership though. My faith in them has dwindled to near nothing.

    Yeah. That's kind of what I'm talking about. From our vantage point he's problematic and he's been on the team forever so he's probably not tradable. But we're just making inferences with a tiny part of the picture. 

    I hope the front office didn't sign a player to an untradable contract and they have 100% of the picture so they would know better. That's what I'm hoping.

    I believe that’s exactly what they did and will likely do the same with Fournier.

    Last year we were begging for fultz and all of us thought we would be giving up way more than we did. I’m ready for another surprise 

    There was no line for Fultz. Don’t think anyone really wanted him. We gave up a guy who’s not even the NBA at the moment.

    And look, I like Fultz but he’s not shown he’s a star player. He’s got a lot of work to do.

    The problem this year is missing Isaac. He was very important to everything we do. He rim protects for Vucevic. He makes us a weird team to play against. He makes opponents have to make tough decisions with lineups. He gives us positional size and the ability to go small. 

    Missing him and we're not much different than the teams over the past several years. 

    That and we’ve done nothing to improve our offense.

    No offense to anyone involved here, but Brian Hill doesn’t know anything about successful basketball in this era of the game. He’s a mouthpiece for an organization who seem to be contempt on riding Vooch to disappointing seasons every year until he retires

    They’re all mouthpieces.

    BHill, Nick, Turner, Steele, Denton, etc. All of them. Afraid to speak the truth. We suck. We need changes.

    Be ready for magic fans to start talking about Saddiq Bey like he's the next Paul George when he's probably Huerter. 

     

    There's a ton of interesting guys where we're going to pick. Guys that we'll like and could develop into really useful players. One will definitely turn into a star because one always does. But there's not one guy that I'm really hyped about. There's a ton of deanthony Melton types, Terrence Ferguson types, iwundu types, Bryn Forbes types. 

    If we can get a definite top 7 in the rotation player in a trade this week with our pick I'd do it no question. 

    Yup. It would be a lot better for Fultz/JI’s development than to get another Iwundu.

    Was Shaq really implying that AG was high?? Surely that's a red flag? I don't know what to make of it. Maybe he don't smoke it but he does the edibles etc? Gotta say he does look high lol
     
    I'd rather not have players that take any drugs at myself. Maybe it's not a topic to discuss. Surely he wouldn't come on national TV stoned out of his nut lol

    Lol Dude was shaggielistic.

    I think we're going to trade our injury exception and a second rounder for something helpful short term and I'm going to spend the next 4 months saying "no don't worry we're probably just going to sign and trade Evan this summer when there's more available" while internally being terrified that we're resigning him. 

    Be afraid. Very afraid.

    Is Davis the Lakers best player?

    Nobody said you can't win with a big. Everyone is saying you can't win with one as your best player. 

    Last time a center won finals MVP was 2005. 

    I mean they have LeBron but AD is dominating.

    I don’t know if I buy that. Think if you have an elite big and a elite perimeter player, you have strong chance to win a ship.
