So maybe I missed this at some point, but now to view Draft Express mock draft you get directed to ESPN's website and you have to pay to be an insider just to see the mock draft. What a bunch of BS.

I afraid Young won't pan out. Guess there is that concern with anyone we draft, but he seems like high risk high reward type.

This girl doing the announcing at the Draft Lottery is painful to watch. What a train wreck! !

Are you saying those contracts are relevant in a situation where we would be going after free agents in order to win sometime soon? Given the current situation we are mainly trying to focus on acquiring talent and sifting through the guys who are keepers and ones that aren't. Right?

I would feel better doing that if we can shed other "less desirable" contracts.

If PHX offers AG max money, I'd have a hard time getting on board matching to keep him. It would feel like overpaying. Sort of like we are paying for what he might become rather than for what we know he brings.

I feel like we stopped moving the ball in the 4th like we were in the first 3 qtrs, but also Boston played pretty good D in the 4th. Nice to see us win. Seems like in the moments the team is clicking, we look ok, but can't seem to do that consistently. Not sure who's to blame for that.

Well, we tried like hell to give this game away, that's for sure!

I hope you're right. I hate to see anything like that spill onto the court and get aired out in front of everyone. Regardless, Birch's energy was infectious tonight and I think that helped the magic win. That should be the focus for sure.

Yes. Before the free throws. That was a little chippy. I wonder if there is some bad blood between those 2.

So is it more Kehm Birch's being a really good player or that we had just become accustomed to everyone else's lack of effort??

My man just started swinging. Holy crap!! He just snapped!

Birch has brought some nice energy. Good to see him getting some PT.

Sorry. I had to.

Just found out John Wall hit 10K points in tonight's game. That may be the reason he was given the game ball by the ref.

Is it sad that I'm more looking forward to what moves we make before the trade deadline than some of these games??

Saw that too! WTH?!?! Never seen that before.

at least they're being competitive tonight.

We got Toronto playoff Biz tonight!! The entire team has a little bit more energy tonight. Maybe it's because they're not using any energy on the defensive end.

I'm trying to cut the cord and lose my cable company (I personally feel they're all a huge ripoff) and I want to ensure that I will still be able to watch the magic games. I live in central florida area so I'm not sure if there would be any blackout possibility of any games or something. If anyone in a similar situation could chime in I would appreciate your input. Thanks!

I was actually considering DirecTV NOW and just adding on League pass to watch the magic games, but I'm not sure how that'd work and if they'd block the local team games

Just my observation: Seems each year during NBA free agency time everyone wants the team to make a big splash or make big moves. We did that last year (although in hind sight not very good moves) but now this year we want the team to make big moves again and go after big free agents. There will be years where we can only make small moves (this year) and years where we can spend big (Byombo) last year. The trick is spending on good players we intend to keep. In a nutshell: WE BROKE!! We gotta shop at Aldi for now, y'all!
