Soul Bro

I'm curious how much personal training our guys have done during this pandemic. I'm hoping JI and Mo have continued to put on muscle. I'm hoping Fultz has continued to work on that shot. I'm hoping Vooch has taken up MMA.

Isaac is my favorite player on the Magic. I'd love for us to lock him up!

"Markelle Fultz learned things the hard way so Chase Young won't have to" A great article about the friendship between Fultz and Chase Young: https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/redskins/markelle-fultz-learned-things-hard-way-so-chase-young-wont-have

Please post your awesome trade ideas here!

I know it’s hard but please keep this discussion about basketball. Thank you!

That’d be cool

Anyone have access to Robbins’ latest article?

All, it’s been awhile. I hope everyone is healthy and safe. Moving forward in this thread and board, I ask that you move the coronavirus and political discussions to the Off-Topic board, as this board is designed to allow people to chat about Magic basketball and take a breather from the craziness of life. Thanks for your understanding!

So sorry. That’s really disappointing.

I mean... Will STUFF at least be there? That dragon doesn’t mess around!

Welcome!

If the team consistently won, the players would not be criticized.

And the Rockets are in real trouble with that roster.

Magic were nasty tonight. Without Fournier the ball moved a ton again.

This decision is so odd. He did an amazing job as a coach over the last couple of years. My guess is this has Irving and KD’s fingerprints on it.

It’s not that Evan would have hurt us; it’s that Evan would have taken the ball out of Fultz’s hands. I hope management sees this.

Ross is not a smart defender. Multiple lapses tonight.

Shams is reporting the Suns made a late push for Gordon at the deadline. I'm curious what they were offering.

A few thoughts: 1. The team as currently constructed is not playoff competitive. I personally believe we need to go small ball with our bigs (Isaac and Gordon) and really upgrade our guard positions. Right now we have bigs that can shoot but not switch (Vooch and Bamba), and we have guards that can switch but not shoot (Fultz and MCW). Moreover, we still are missing a go-to scorer who can create his own shot. 2. Is Fultz our starting point guard of the future? Until he can shoot the long ball, he is not, imho. I love Fultz’s potential and drive, but he’s got to be able to shoot. I don’t buy that he needs to wait until this summer to figure it out. He’s either deferring too much, physically limited, or afraid to miss. I hope he figures it out. 3. Going back to point one, I really hope for changes this summer. The problem is the Magic seem to value loyalty over competency, so we’ll see. Continuing to roll with players like Fournier, Augustin, MCW, Aminu, and Vooch as the vet core isn’t going to lead to sustained winning.

The Magic are playing antiquated basketball.

While I appreciate their hustle, Augustin and MCW are such limited players. Sure would be nice to have someone like Dragic coming in as our backup PG.

Without Isaac and AG, this team has a very low ceiling. Fournier and Vooch are like watching a tricked out minivan try to win a drag race. Will they draw a crowd? Sure. Will they truly be competitive? No, they will not.

Apparently, AG needs to get disrespected in front of a global audience to play like an all-star.

I do wish Fultz would hit/shoot more threes

Yep
