    Probably. Point is - I just don't see how in the world Minny would essentially just give Wiggins away.

    1. D-Lo would have to be seriously interested (he's not).

    2. Minny would have to trade Wiggins to a team with an adequate package (of which we probably don't have the best). 

    3. It would kill our cap space, and I don't think Wiggins is the type of locker room personality we're looking for. 

    Lol you're wrong on everything you said. 


  2. Our revamped and expensive FO got played by contract year Vuc. This is an emotional decision because of the fan support they saw during the playoff hunt, and playoff games. Nearly everything had to go right for us to make the playoffs. 

    I'm not happy about this offer. However, if Ross and Birch aren't back either....man, idk. Big fail.

    And Mo....gotta trade him. 

    11 years of Vuc. Guy is like a cockroach.


  3. @KeithSmithNBA: With Nikola Vucevic seemingly in the fold, look for the Magic to turn to keeping Terrence Ross in Orlando as well per sources. The Magic will also be aggressive pursuing help with the MLE. Orlando intends to stay a playoff team after this past year's appearance.

    Why was Bamba selected instead of a guard like Gilgeous-Alexander with management knowing Vucevic could possibly stay long-term in a year? His value is now capped at whatever he can generate from 16 MPG playing alongside bench guards. Other teams can just low-ball us knowing he'll have to be moved eventually.

    Complete mismanagement of an asset.

    I'm pretty sure if they knew Vuc would be an all-star, they would've gone a different route. **** happens. And reading through some tea leaves, bamba was more of a project than they anticipated (that why you should work guys out). 

    They better hope Fultz gets back on track.

    Hey - you guys remember when I told you I had a friend with connections within the Magic that said Bamba wasn’t jelling with other players and that his drive / work ethic was suspect and it was starting to become a concern amongst members of the organization?

    If we sign Vuc and trade Bamba, I’ll consider this confirmation my insider was correct and the Magic are jumping ship on the potential of Bamba. 

    Still holding out hope, but if true, I can’t imagine any other reason. 

    Mo for J.Brown. 

    Get it done.

    Just curious why we think a NYT reporter would have an inside scoop on what our FO is planning.  Is there a Stein connection?

    The problem with the signing isn't the money, the length, or even the player.  Its the fit of the player with what we think we are trying to develop.  I'm ready for rock solid defense and an opportunistic offense.

    Alex Martins is one of Stein's sources for all things Orlando. This could be from Vuc's agent, but Stein uses Martins for intel.

    It's difficult to do that because

    -byc rules come into play when you double vucevic's salary

    -Boston would be operating as an over the cap team so they'd have to match vucevic's salary by adding in another 10 million ish to the trade (which is basically limited to just smart)

    -Boston loves brown. 

    Soooooo let's make this happen. Call Simmons and negotiate as our fan GM. He's ready.

    Nyce you gotta stop falling for Kyler's made up fairytales. It's a bad look

    You missed when I said "I dont buy it but posting just for discussion".

    How am i falling for it? Especially since we just had a discussion about the likely moves earlier this morning. C'mon man.

    Spot on. I was diagnosed with TOS two weeks ago. I had sharp pain in my shoulder that shot down my arm and felt like I had torn a ligament in my thumb. Doing a lot of physical therapy to relearn correct motions in how to lift, paddleboard, etc.

    Damn, get well, man. Hope you recover 100%.
