All Eyes On Me

But $30 mill a year for 4 years for Hayward?! All guaranteed?! And they stretched Batum to make room, so instead of a $27 mill expiring, he’ll get $9 mill a year for the next 3?! Woof... I’d rather be boringly predictable than whatever the hell that is

didn’t see this one coming

The fact that we continue to completely ignore shooting is baffling.

2021 draft is stacked, if the plan really is to run it back but be slightly worse we might as well run youth lineups and hope for some balls to bounce our way for Cade Cunningham

So, barring trades, we done

Ahh, what’s that #? $5 mill ish?

That’s 14 (+1), the +1 being GC’s QO. We still have the full MLE and DJ’s bird rights. But barring a trade we’re pretty much done

Can’t believe the Lakers got Harrell for the MLE

Ahh yes. I fully expect him back, not sure he’ll even get an RFA offer, but it’s not official yet

I’ve been “settled in” with the Magic throughout the entirety of the franchise, it’s engrained in me and it’s not going to change (even though their association with Betsy DeVos and my Kindergarten teacher wife put in an uncomfortable wedge the last few years). I’m more than aware of all you said, it still makes it hard to watch what feels like every other team not be afraid to shake it up while we continue to run it back with the same, extremely flawed core. Like, our lack of shooting has become a league wide joke, shouldn’t we have tried to bring in some sort of proven jump shooter with the MLE. I know there’s some time left, but as we’ve both said, I fully expect our last spot to go to either MCW or DJ.

I don’t hate this move in itself, it’s just extremely frustrating to continue to watch us do the bare minimum from a team building standpoint.

So, by my count we’ve got 14 on roster Fultz/Fournier/Ennis/Gordon/Vucevic Cole/Ross/Okeke/Aminu/Bamba Bacon/Clark/Isaac/Birch Gotta imagine the last spot is going to either Augustin or MCW. Hope we’re really really excited to watch Cole and Okeke, cause that’s the only new we’re gonna see this season. You’d think we’d be used to it by now.

SMH... here we go again... I expect to wake up to a new contract for DJ in the morning

interesting...

Looks like they used the full MLE for him. Really thought he’d get more $$$

Didn’t we get his contract voided due to a career ending injury exception?

Except for Aminu... that move will forever baffle me, but at least it’s short

Woj said it’s the most money ever on a multi year deal for an over 30 year old who’s never been an all star... lol

Gallo to the Hawks, Hood back to the Blazers

lol... let’s add another giant, slow Center... why not?

Wow... I just kind of assumed we’d keep Wes. Wish him luck wherever he winds up

Fournier makes exactly that *shrug*
