I don't know how old you are, but back in the day, a lot of fans were disappointed that we gave up Okafer for Dwight. Dwight did not start out to be the superman/powerhouse that he developed into. He, also, had to put on weight and muscle.

JJJ said that he knew Bamba since he was in high school.

I love Mo Bamba so much. . .and Jonathan Isaac too!!! That tandem gives me goose bumps. They play well together. In one sequence when JI missed a layup(?) under the basket, Bamba was there to clean it up. In another sequence, JI delivered the ball to Bamba near the basket, and mo finished. And did you see that running 180 degrees over the head dunk (with his back to the basket). Yes, that was Mo.!

Ha,ha!!. . .Mo Bamba signing autographs. When was the last time we saw a Magic Player do that at a basketball game? Edit: And we are not even playing in or close to Orlando. It's happening out West.

Nice_1, that part about "not knowing anything about Mozgov" was not intended to suggest that he should be a mentor or he was a steal for the Magic. Whoever I was quoting mentioned Mozgov in the same sentence where the poster said that Vuc could be a mentor for Bamba. I should have left Mozgov's name out of my response to Vuc not being a mentor. Again, I was not suggesting anything about Mozgov's contribution to the team. Please enlighten me. . .In what way can Vuc mentor Bamba that would help him to develop?

Oh, please. . .No! I don't know anything about Mozgov, but I don't want Vuc mentoring anyone. What's he going to teach Bamba to do--pout when he can't get playing time or minutes? Oh, I forgot, he's going to teach him how to grab rebounds.

PLEASE, NO MORE DWIGHT DRAMA!!!!!! I believe there was more drama surrounding Dwight than Shaq and T-Mac. Dwight was about will he or won't he stay in Orlando, where he wanted to be traded and nasty "he said, he said" among Dwight, Stan, and Alex. It dragged out way too long.

What's with these guys on the bench on their phones during the game. I've only seen it on the Net's bench.

DJ is a better scorer than Briscoe

What's so funny about Vuc . . . 1. I've heard him say during breaks (half time) "We need to play better defense". 2. I think Vuc believes he plays very good defense. I believe he does not think there is a flaw in his defense.

This is why he needs to be traded because he won't be happy coming off the bench. You will see a sulking, pouting Vuc in post game interviews.

This is what I was alluding to (in bold). However, in my opinion, he will start. . .whether it is short term or long term. Hopefully the former.

This^^^. Guys face it. If Vuch is not traded, he is going to start. . .not that I want him to. A new coaching staff is coming in, and since they have not seen Bamba play on the NBA level, they are going to go with the center who has been here/started the past few years. Vuchs defense leaves a lot to be desired, but he is familiar with the system and can score. Bamba will more than likely come off the bench until he becomes more comfortable in the transition from college to the NBA.

The offseason moves all 30 NBA teams can still make ORLANDO MAGIC Summer transactions: Mohamed Bamba (draft), Melvin Frazier (draft), Justin Jackson (draft) and Aaron Gordon (four years, $84 million) Cap-space breakdown The Magic were right at the cap when the offseason started and are now $3.7 million over after the Aaron Gordon signing. The Magic do have the flexibility to create room if needed because of the expiring contracts of Nikola Vucevic and Terrence Ross. Both players combine to earn $22.8 million in 2018-19. Exceptions: $8.6 million (non-tax midlevel) and $3.4 million (biannual) Current free agents: Arron Afflalo (non-Bird) and Mo Speights (non-Bird) Players under contract: 12 Depth Chart 12 PG SG SF PF C D.J.

He will be 3rd string, right?

I'm sorry Catalina. See, I don't understanding all that stuff about how "cap space," "expiring," etc. tie in with who we trade for. All I know is what I see on the court. . .how a player plays. :)

NO!!! He is not the same Jeremy Lin who played out of his mind when he was with the Knicks.

Edit: In a previous post I said New York Nets. I meant Brooklyn Nets.

Alright. Thanks jjgator.

Are you all talking about Dwight Howard? I thought he was traded to the New York Nets.

Ah-h-h-h, yes!

I like Bamba4thewin. It has a certain ring to it. . .bringing strength and power (the warrior type). I just can envision him sending those balls into the bleacher.

Yes you have HeHateMe. After all that's been said and done, you are one of a handful of posters that I always look forward to reading your comments. That's a fact.

Thanks Originalticketholder, this is what it's all about, reaching out and showing compassion (especially if it might be someone who is troubled by something).
