It is time to retire the 2017-2018 official season thread and start a new offseason thread. Looking forward to this year draft, new coaching staff and free agency. Exciting times for an Orlando Magic Fan. Let the rumors begin!

it is not normal to have that body out of high school. I want a blood sample and an urine.

The 285 pounds on a 6’7’’ body is not good for this sport. That constant jumping, twisting and running is not going to hold. At least not in the NBA. He is only 18 but That level of intensity and athleticism will not last more than 5-6 years in my opinion. I dont want to sound like a hater but All it takes is one foot, ankle, knee, back or hip injury and he can en up playing a Glen Davis role in the NBA instead. I like my current PF core of Gordon and Isaac. No reason to even considering tanking for this guy.

Dont get me wrong. The kid is really good but still very Young. However, he has a very big frame body. He is heavy and his body will give in eventually. One injury or a bad summer he can easely be in the 300 pounds. Hence, he can end up a Glen Davis comment. But my comment was more toward the lets tank foe another year to get this kid statement.

Ehh.. not worth it. He is big Baby Davis in the making.

Wow.. 4 dislikes. Another thing for you to blame on Henny.

See!! That is exciting news!! I cant wait to see the new shirts. Hopefully They come out with the black and white. Maybe I will get myself one.

It is partially guaranteed. Okafor continues to play old school basketball. He is not longer the type of player that is needed in today’s NBA. He is slow, doesn't defend, doesn't rebound and doesn't shoot the 3. He doesn’t space the offense like any other center with good shooting range. Vuch can do that. He is just a big heavy body with good footwork who can score in the paint. This is truly his last chance. I hope he works on his defense and rebounding. If he does this well , I think he might be able to stick around a little bit longer. I wish him the best.

Exactly how I feel. Well said.

Feasible and very very helpful

I dont mind that either but what about doing in places that can be helpful to a community. I have not seen any team lately play a regular game in either Hawaii or Puerto Rico. This are both Islands that has been devastated recently by natural disasters. 1-2 games can helped tremendously with their struggling economy by giving back a little. Not to mention they are both part of the United States. Both states/territories have Venues that can easely put over 30k people in the stands. For the Magic, Puerto Rico is an easy 2-3 hour flight on an east coast trip. Easy to go. No need for passports and players family/ personal and hardcore fans can easely go as well. Same country. Eastern time so we can also see the games on TV at the same time at night. the same goes for Hawaii on a west coast trip. Is all about giving back.

Honestly, how is that good for the orlando community?

Big time! Taking away games for season ticker holders.

Sure. It can help but they likely will offer Deng and a future pick. I dont think they will give out any of the other young players. Besides, Okafor is still available for cheap.

Here we go again. Zhaire Smith foot injury. Wait and see how Phily again takes his first round oick out for the whole year.

Ja! Maybe the lakeland team!

Most likely a new basketball camp for kids or something in that nature

Exactly.

I dont agree. If you have height advantage and athletic ability you can easely shoot over the defender like Durant does. Gordon has both and can easily shoot over or around most of the defenders. No need to make yourself shorter by reducing the leaping ability when you do the sidestep.

Not necessarily a good thing for a PF. This really tells me that he is working more towards playing the SF position. Which I am ok. But the side step is really more for someone that is smaller and wants to open up when been defended by someone taller. Maybe I am wrong but I dont see KD or Lebron doing this often.

I just don't like when he takes that exrra step backwards or sideways to create his shot. That will give the defense more chances to get to him. Not to mention that some refs will call that a travel. I like his jumpshot form.

I have a special stone i put on top of the grill.

I like the one from Chuys but there is an authentic mexican restaurant in kissimme call tenampa that is Really good

I like to make it. I just use tomatoe sauce with garlic
