I missed the game but here's the box score: https://www.usab.com/gamecast/1876 Looks like Franz played well.

I loved Kelle the person and quiet leader. Unfortunately, his wing is broken, which means his shot is broken, and I respect our decision to move on.

I can't believe I came on here and had to read about EP and RJ today. Thank goodness those days are gone!

Something to keep in mind: TDS is 23 years old and played a ton of college ball, while AB and Jett are still only 20 years old.

That single decision by Doc set this franchise back decades.

Nice to see the national media taking notice of Orlando again. Good stuff.

A look back at the 2021 NBA Draft: https://www.nba.com/news/2021-nba-draft-results-picks-1-60 An argument could be made that Franz should have been the top pick in the draft. At the very least, top 3. Meanwhile, I believe we got 2 of the top 5 guys from this draft. The sky is the limit, Magic fans. Believe!

The Martin signing by Philly is a great and underrated deal. Really like his tenacity and game.

Love this quote from the article: ”On the other hand, Wagner has rated as elite in terms of his on-court impact. Last season, Orlando outscored opponents by a whopping 12.6 points per 100 possessions when Wagner played with Banchero on the bench, according to Cleaning the Glass. When Banchero played without Wagner, the Magic were minus-3.9 points per 100 possessions.”

Boom!!! Agree. We’re very similar in our core to Boston, just five or so years younger.

https://x.com/NBA_University/status/1809240208572916148 I really do think Orlando and OKC are going to be duking it out for years. Let's go!

Honestly, that seems a bit rich for me. 5 years, 175mm? I hope it will be for less. Maybe 125-150mm???

Wow. Orlando spending some serious cash. Happy for Franz. I'm a big believer in him. If anyone wants to be encouraged, compare the stats of these two players in their first three years: Jalen Brown - https://www.espn.com/nba/player/stats/_/id/3917376/jaylen-brown Franz Wagner - https://www.espn.com/nba/player/stats/_/id/4566434/franz-wagner Believe!!!

“Let this thing marinate. Every good player on a rookie-scale contract is a precious asset in the apron era.” https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/40496545/clippers-nuggets-convenient-fear-second-apron-first-week-nba-free-agency To me this is really important to understand. Patience with rookies in this new cap era will really pay off. Now we just need our guys to develop.

Love me some Lowe. Love that he loves our moves and direction.
