    NBA free agents I'd like us to consider signing this summer:

    • Jrue Holiday (P.O.)
    • D. Russell
    • M. Monk
    • G. Allen
    • T. Jones
    • Kenatvious Caldwell-Pope

    I like the idea of starting two guards who can drain the three alongside Franz and Paulo. I don't trust Harris long-term, but our real weakness right now is in our bench. I don't see how we roll with Kelle and Cole next year.

    Paul George on @PodcastPShow dishes out high praise for #Rockets Cam Whitmore: “I was extremely impressed with his game. He’s a player that is going to shake up some things in Houston and can be a star player. I saw stardom on both ends. He played hard on both ends. He can shoot it. He can handle. He’s explosive. He was strong. He had a nastiness to him that you don’t really see in a lot of super young guys. He was trying to challenge me. He was challenging Kawhi. He’s a name that I think, because he’s a rookie, hasn’t had much coverage on him, but he will be good.” 

    Can’t believe we didn’t draft him! We messed up on that one! Would have fit right into our mentality, playing style.

     

    I'm not sure why Whitmore dropped. He was near the top of my list all last season. He's been great for the Rockets.

    Already posted in this same thread a page and a day ago! :P

    Lowe's words sounds like he was expecting a move too for our guard rotation. Hope we don't spend in FA for the classic guy that explode in playoofs. See Jordan Poole, that everyone was in love to a few season ago, and now is mentioned in the same Lowe article.... for other reasons!

    Lol. How did I miss that? Thanks!

    “Suggs is one of the league's most well-rounded defensive guards, with the speed to chase waterbug point guards and the heft to jostle with big wings. He is a cinder block with arms and very fast feet. The Magic's defense is built to last; they have held steady at No. 5 in points allowed per possession. They are physical, versatile, ultracompetitive, protective of the glass.

    Suggs is also up to 39% on 3s after hitting just 32.7% last season and barely making any as a rookie. He has already made more 3s this season (113) than the 108 he hit combined in his first two. He's taking more -- 7.1 per 36 minutes, up from 5.8 last season. Suggs is even 28-of-73 (38%) on off-the-bounce 3s, already surpassing his career high in makes.

    Marcus Smart -- a common Suggs comp -- has never hit better than 36.4% on 3s in any season and has only exceeded Suggs's current attempt rate twice.”

    Zach Lowe giving love to Suggs while also trying to figure out what we’re going to do with our guard situation this summer. Good read.

    Give me a break …you’re bigger than this …cause every person posting here wanted a trade at the deadline …except Jay and myself …and yeah I did my victory lap …now all you guys are mad cause I’m doing just that …it’s sports …sometimes you’re right sometimes not …do what you gotta do …I took a break for 12 years I can do it again …pretty sour grapes if you ask me 

    Junkie, it seems half of your posting here has turned into mocking what others are posting. Again it’s odd and inappropriate. Ironically, every poster here wants the same thing… for the Magic to win. Oh well. I don’t think my ask as a mod was/is unreasonable.

    Bad day at the office ? I’m no GM but it’s pretty obvious to me that guy needs the ball in his hands …he wouldn’t work here imo …yeah you didn’t say our guards suck but insinuated that …I used the word suck …lol 

    To the bigger issue, we need this to be a respectful place for people to be able to post without mockery or attack. Using emotionally charged language of “mob,” people running “scared,” etc. is inflammatory.

    All good …I briefly scanned the previous page saw some posts …cough cough Soul Bro talking about our guards suck …others were happy to join …as I said above man give the guys a break 3rd game in 4 nights all on the road …we good …you’ll see .

    Where did I say our guards “suck?” Is it wrong to suggest wanting a guard that can produce a near triple double in 3 quarters? Your posting has turned into trolling lately. Please refrain from doing that, as it breaks the TOS.
