138 million over the next 3 years. That’s what Trae Young is owed. I wouldn’t touch that contract even with a pick or two included.

Are you ready for your Orlando Magic? Let's go!!! Please post on all of your general discussion for the 2023-2024 season here.

That’s totally fair. I’d still be happy with Klay on a couple year deal. I’d be happy with Russell, too.

For those instances when there's not a specific game thread created, please post your 2023-2024 season game discussion here.

Just came back to say one more time how proud I am of this team. I’ve been on this forum since 2006, and our current roster has such exciting youth with upside. The experience in the playoffs will be invaluable for them. So cool for them to experience and for us to cheer on. Go Magic!

Let's go, boys!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!

Mose deserves so much credit for starting JI at center. I’ve wanted to see that for years. A special shoutout to Paulo, Franz, Jalen and JI for playing nasty ball. Frankly even guys like Gary, WCJ, Cole and Joe played very solid roles today. If we play like we played today, ain’t nobody gonna want to face us.

We did it!!! Free fish and chips for everyone from Jay and CTMagicUK!!!

What am I watching???

Cole is a terrible defender

Let’s freaking go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Isaac somehow leads us to victory, free fish and chips for everyone by CTMagicUK!

JI is playing insane defense. Go Magic!!!!!

Lol! He must have read your post.

This game shows me how much we still need to grow. The moxie and confidence with which the Bucks are playing is impressive. So many of their guys have either won a championship or been deep in the playoffs.

I’m not against adding a playmaker, but I think we’re missing two big things: 1. Two-way players who can shoot the lights out. That list of free agents is not that long. I personally believe we have enough playmaking between Paulo and Franz. 2. Winning pedigree. Who on our bench right now can confront Paulo and the others about what it will take to win? I don’t think we have that guy. Klay (or someone like KCP) brings that ability.

“One of the worst-kept secrets in the league is that Orlando, loaded with young talent but not with shooters, might offer Klay a ton of money next summer. Meanwhile, Joe Lacob has said the Warriors want to get all the way out of the luxury tax next summer, which is possible, but only if they are very disciplined about how much they’re willing to pay to keep Klay (and/or CP3). Put bluntly, Klay is the only one of the big three who might end up more valuable to another team than what the Warriors want to pay him. The more durable he continues to be, the larger the contract he deserves. The Warriors should absolutely try to bring him back, and not just as a sentimental gesture.” https://theathletic.com/5398810/2024/04/08/warriors-klay-thompson-free-agency-kawakami/?source=user_shared_article Count me in on the Klay train. If we don’t trade for a younger star guard, this dude would help our young team learn how to grind, play team ball, and win. A 2-3 year big deal wouldn’t be a bad investment.

Hard to watch this team right now. The wife and I had to turn it off in the 3rd. We’re all over the place. Very bad turnovers with bad switches on defense. Really hoping we somehow rally. Hoping Paulo calls himself out to play better.

My boy is back!

That’s when I turned the game on. Totally unacceptable.

Agree about Paulo. If he’s going to lead this team, he still needs to grow as a two-way player, ball mover, and in shot selection.

Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These coaches that don't embrace the transfer portal are quickly going to pay the price. It has changed the game so much, both in NCAA basketball and football.

Hoping for the best for Franz and JI. Both are critical to a playoff run.

I'm really glad we have cap flexibility this summer. While I understand letting this team mature together, this roster needs clear help.

You guys reading the rumors of Orlando’s interest in Russell? I’d sign him on a three year deal.
