We got more for Vooch! Something to be said about making a deal while you still have leverage. I’m all for Jrue. I feel like he and Kelle next to each other in the backcourt would be a steal. Didn’t click the link to see if there were potential offers in there but I’d take something like Cole and GH for Jrue and run

Jaylen Brown just got 5 years $304 million…. No thank you
-
Meh
-
Let’s tread carefully here. I know it’s slow and it’s the off-season, and the most recent Barkley and Isaac back and forth is a slippery slope. Please keep it respectful
-
There’s something interesting in the quote “The doctors seem to feel confident with it”. We’ll see how long he can stay on the floor. It’s obviously better for the team if he can, and we didn’t do anything this off-season to plan to keep winning if he can’t.

2023 NBA Summer League Watch Thread
All Eyes On Me replied to CTMagicUK's topic in Orlando Magic Forum
Yeah, this goes along the same lines with me as refusing to utilize 2nd round picks. We might as well not build a summer league team or have a G league team if we’re going to completely neglect these chances to find and improve prospects. -

Not too worried about this. Indiana is rolling out a few guys that played big minutes last year and are just more experienced. I’m not expecting anything more this summer than a few flashes from AB and Jett. Not sure if I expect either in the opening night rotation. -

Yeah, he looks strong. Something to be said about his first fully healthy offseason in his pro career. -
Without looking it up and just going off memory, I feel like Cole might be our best crunch time shot maker, but Markelle is definitely the guy I want facilitating
-
Always a possibility, for sure, but I don’t see us overpaying anyone. If he gets extended I see it similar to a “how did he pull that off”? Like Wendell got a couple years back
-
Yeah, it’ll be interesting to see what happens going forward. Weltman has made a few good moves for us, but none of them have involved acquiring proven talent.

To me it’s about potential. AB’s ceiling is much higher. Also, I don’t think anybody considered Cason at 6. If you want to talk to me about him at 11 and allowing OKC to leap us to steal him, I think that’s a more worthwhile talk. -

I loved Jaden Ivey last year, and AB outplayed him today, so I’m excited! Jury’s still out on Jett, and will be for awhile. Maybe we took a project on purpose because we just don’t have enough minutes to go around, but that sucks to do with a lotto pick. -
Weird. They need spot up shooters to surround their talent, not a super raw prospect about to enter his 5th year in the league. Maybe they’re hoping he flashes early and they can trade high, like we should’ve done.

Can’t really knock the JI extension because of how much CYA was built into it for re-injury. Even Fultz had an out in his contract this year for almost no cap hit. I don’t think we extend Fultz this off-season because he hasn’t really shown he can stay healthy yet for a full year, but if we get toward all-star break and he hasn’t missed a significant amount of time, I see it happening.

I don’t think anybody is saying the Magic FO can’t make mistakes. They’ve made a ton, and I don’t even love this off-season, personally. But Paolo might’ve been a mistake after the rookie season he just had is such a strange hill to pick to die on. -

All Eyes On Me replied to CTMagicUK's topic in Orlando Magic Forum
Hard to say, but I don’t blame not being able to contribute to wins to a rookie in his first 20 games. FWIW, we went 3-7 in the 10 games Paolo missed -

All Eyes On Me replied to CTMagicUK's topic in Orlando Magic Forum
There’s really no way to explain it other than off-season fatigue if we’re really debating if we should’ve picked the kid who we all thought would be made of glass, that wound up being made of glass and missed his entire rookie season over our pick who just won rookie of the year and put up one of the more impressive first seasons the NBA has seen in years. -
I wish Bol well. The writing was definitely on the wall for him when Moe re-signed. He’s got a long way to go to be a contributor to winning basketball but he was fun to watch and seemed like a good dude.
-
Unpopular opinion, but I don’t like Herro or Simons for us as we’re currently constructed. There’s no proof that they’re noticeably better than other players we have at their positions, and they’ve both already gotten paid. At this point I’m either at grow it naturally like we are, or go home run swinging and Herro and Simons are more doubles than home runs.
-
Kinda weird that Jaylen Brown hasn’t been extended yet, isn’t it? I wonder if the Cs are shopping him
-
Cole is in the same position now that we’ll be in with Suggs a year from now and so far we haven’t rushed to extend him. It’ll all depend how much Jalen improves next season. And unless something crazy happens like Franz’ arm falls off, he’s getting a max extension next off-season.

Board Members: Get-to-Know Thread
All Eyes On Me replied to TreyMachine's topic in Orlando Magic Forum
Thanks for putting this together Trey! Good to get to know fellow Magic addicts better! Name: Chris Current Location: Denver, CO Industry You Work In: IoT/Structural Health Monitoring The Origin of Your Username: Jameer’s tattoo across his shoulders. I’m a big Jameer fan. How You Became a Fan: Born into it in 87. Grew up in the O and lived there 30 years and how could an 8 year old kid not get hooked on the Shaq/Penny Magic making it to the Finals. Been a diehard my entire life. Favorite All-Time Magic Player: Ugh, how do you pick one. Darrell Armstrong, Jameer Nelson, T-Mac, Penny Favorite Magic Memory: Not sure how to pick one again, but I think I’m between the Hedo to Dwight alley oop game winner against San Antonio, and the game 1 ECF beating the Cavs in Cleveland and Sweet Lew hitting clutch shot after clutch shot. Most Visceral Magic Memory: Shaq leaving was my first heartbreak, so I think it’s gotta be that. Worst Personal Magic Take: It took me way too long to give up on Elfrid Payton, and I might or might not still have his jersey. lol
