I predict another high lottery pick this year after another dismal season..... Here's hoping Devos sells the team.
For those of you predicting 40 wins, there is a much higher chance of the Magic swapping teams with the Warriors then 40 wins.
-
Your talking about getting arguably the best PG in the NBA, and you wouldn't include next year's first for him? Or Issac? Come on now. Your going to have to give up something substantial for a player of Irvings caliber and 1 or both of the above would be involved.
No... I meant anyone on the roster and next years 1st for Irving..... Unprotected 1st too.... Isaac would be the only exception.... Heck if they want Isaac too.... BYE!!!
-
I would trade anyone on the roster (exception of Isaac) and next years unprotected first for Kyrie Irving. He wants to be the #1 guy and will LOVE Orlando.
-
Aaron Gordon needs to be let go after this season..... He's a bench guy. I said it the night he was drafted. He is a career bench player. He couldn't even rise to the occasion and win the dunk contest he was suppose to which means he is not clutch.... Let him walk... or trade him for a pick if possible.... 2nd rounder would be fair....
Payton I will wait on because it takes PG's quite a few years to figure things out, especially when he has had different coaches. Let's see how he does this year.
-
I don't know if I would say that. But he did say that the roster is not finished and didn't really allude to signing anyone else, so...
Basically that we need to get 5 (4 if Isaac turns out to be good) starters so that Hennigans guys can go where they belong....... the bench.
-
My bro Lonzo is dominating
Is said it in the draft thread..... Ball will be superstar. #1 player in this draft... Fultz will be bust.
I'm happy Magic did not draft Steve Francis 2.0 (Smith).
Can't wait until next years lottery to see if Magic get #1 pick.
-
So.... is this still the 5th rebuild or are we now on the 6th?
Build 1 up to Shaq and Penny
Build 2 up to Penny, Nick, Ike Austin
Build 3 up to T'Mac and Hill
Build 4 up to D12, Lewis, Hedo .. etc...
Build 5 up to Rob firing, Ibaka, Biyombo?
Build 6 starts with New GM, pres, and Isaac.
-
Magic need to sit tight and not pay for a mediocre player. Need to wait to become the 3rd team to help another team get better while collecting assets in the process.

OK, pls trade #6 for Porzingis.
-
Anytime you can pair young players with an old, expensive center with back problems you have to do it
You forgot the valuable mentoring he would provide the young players..... I mean the proof is in where he has been.
-
Hammond's description on a player he's looking for in the draft:
Long, athletic, can shoot/stretch the floor, and play multiple positions
Isaac
-
I see much Francis in Smith.....
I see much Miller in Monk... or is it Hamilton? Not sure which one.
-
We should trade Vuc for Howard.... bring him back home.... That we we have our defensive minded stretch 5.

Dump Vooch, sign Lowry, draft Monk, draft Adebayo...
PG: Lowry, EP
SG: Fournier, Monk
SF: Ross, Hezonja
PF: Gordon, Rudez
C: Biz, Adebayo
Add the second rounders, etc. if we need to clear more cap space to sign Lowry, dump someone else, too.
See, this is the problem with Magic fans..... you aim too low...
Let me give it a shot.....
sign Lowry, Heyward, trade #6, #25 (whatever the pick is), both 2nd rounders, and anyone on the Magic roster (or 2) for Paul George or Jimmy Butler.
PG: Lowry
SG Heyward
SF George (or Butler))
PF Veteran
C Veteran
Bench Vets.
NBA Finals here we come!

Because you dont want a Westbrook/Harden situation where Simmons dribbles the air out of the ball while 4 guys watch him
OKC ruined their dynasty.... They were on their way. They would have been the Warriors. They would have had the mega big three and would have had all the vets sign with them.
-
I'm the only realistic person here.... This hire sucks.... we will suck for many years to come.
-
Terrible..... and... he helped the Piston in drafting Darko #2.
-
Current #Sixers' big board:
1. Tatum
2. Smith
3. Monk
4. Isaac
5. Jackson

Grain of salt yall
No way.... they don't need tatum.

Here's what I'd like to see us do in this offseason:
I'm sick of watching Vucevic play and we should focus on building a good basketball culture, and THEN try to win some games. Play a Center that can play defense, get guards that can shoot etc.
I think we should go full youth movement with some unselfish veterans to complete the roster.
I'd draft Smith or Monk and would start either at the Point Guard from day one.
I'd ship Vucevic and Fournier out for whatever we could get, even 2nd rounders.
I'd trade Payton or keep him as the backup PG.
I'd sign Jonathon Simmons to be our starting SG
I like Terrence Ross as the backup SG and would try to sign Terrence Jones to be the backup PF
I'd give Hezonja all the minutes he could handle as the secondary ball handler at SF. If he keeps sucking, we'd get his replacement in the solid 2018 draft
--
Starting 5
Smith or Monk
Simmons
Hezonja
Gordon
Biyombo
Thing about rookie point guards, it takes them a few years to get the hang of it.
-
Wonder if we clear money and make a run for Lowry
Yeah.... Lowry, Millsap, and Hayward. Trade 6 and crap for Paul George..... I'm happy.
-
He's going to suck and hopefully by then Devos sells the team to an owner that will right this ship....... and.... dare I say?..... change the team name.
-
I think Fultz will be a Lillard type of player. Explosive PG that will want to be the #1 option on your team but won't get you past the giants.
I love Lonzo, and while not as good of a #1 option, I think he's a tremendous facilitator and he's what I'd want from my starting PG
I like both Kentucky guards and Tatum better than Fultz. If Fultz falls to 6, I would trade out of the 6th pick.
-
yeah. Ball is either going to be a revolutionary player like a steve nash who catches alley oops or unable to play point guard in the nba because he's relatively slow and cant bring the ball up.
That's why you take Ball over Fultz..... #1 pick..... Uh-oh is that Kevin Costner calling for Ainge? "Earvin, you give me #2 and a future 1st or I will take Ball."
-
Call me crazy but I think Ball is slightly overrated. I am not sure if he is even better than Fox or Smith at the PG position.
Fox did outplayed him and his defense is way much better.
Smith is a very intriguing guy that can be as good as fultz or as "bad" as Muday.
The Lakers will make a big mistake by taking Ball over Jackson.
Jackson and tatum are both better options for them at the moment.
You just hate him because of his arrogance, the Lakers, and his dad. Celtics will make the mistake if they pick Fultz over Ball.

I was at this game.... first Magic game in a very very long time.
What a terrible product..... Elfrid Payton sucks and was raped by the Atl PG who missed easy layups.... about 5 of them. Magic should have lost. Magic need to trade for a Vet PG ASAP! Augustin is nice off the bench.
The Defense sucks too... I thought these guys were suppose to be defensive guys? Anyways.... Atl ties the game because Vuc was too lazy to rotate over... The Atl player was at the corner by his lonesome for a while.
Biyombo.... sux, The guy who would sub in at fwd sux (Sorry don't remember the jersey).
Payton is atrocious.. The Atl defense leaves him wide open because he can't shoot. On one occasion he drove the ball... no Atl player rotated. There were two guys fronting Vuc and Payton decides to try to toss it over them to Vuc forgetting these Atl players are indeed NBA players that are tall and can jump, so they just snag the ball from mid air. He is horrible.
I'm so happy that I do not waste money on season tickets to see this absolutely horrific team with no sense of urgency... Magic didn't win... Atl beat themselves. Devos should refund all season ticket holders that game...... TERRIBLE!!!
There is only 3 guys I liked.... Gordon, Fournier, and Smith. if the Magic ever get a couple of superstars, they will be real nice complimentary players.
Just so you know... I've seen 2 games this year: Bulls vs Magic on TV when they had their hot start, and this one. I haven't really been watching or paying attention other than the occasional checking since the D12 days because I knew Devos would mess this all up.
Great Job RICH!!
