    Yah for sure, I could see that however not to be a what if person but we still have yet to see Fournier and Frye suit up for us. They could provide some shots .. and if you watched today E is rolling with confidence and who knows maybe open space will help him sink some 12-15 footers

    IMO Devyn Marble looked 100% better than Curry. Curry is a shooter and that's it. Marble can play D, rebound and shoot pretty well.

    Guys just imagine if the cavs had taken Oladipo at 1 instead of Bennett. Kyrie Oladipo Lebron Love Varejao and the bench omfg

    For anyone interested, Firebug is a really cool tool. It comes in handy for instances like this and many others.

    No one called a three year deal but I think 15 was what it would take for him to leave. Especially if you look at the market, and tomorrow Melo will stay in NY, Lebron to Cleveland,Bosh to Houston. And waiters Bennett and another couple draft picks will be traded for Love.

    Maybe now that it's happening we can move on to more relevant Magic things. We tried to tell him 12-15 a year and he laughed

    Just a quick note I'd like to throw out there. I listened to the post game/scrimmage interviews and Aaron Gordon said he is much more comfortable at the 3 as its a little easier to see his role/moves out on the court. He said he's still learning the 4 but IMO its more of a bruising position and he needs to add on weight/muscle if he wants that. Also heard that in Wes Unseld Jr.'s post game tidbit that they see Aaron at the 3 mainly but he could slide to the 4 if needed but from this game on he will be at the 3 for sure. Ohh and btw Marble... "He can flat out Bucket"

    Magic sign Channing Frye

    the ability to raise someones shot % by and making it easier for them to decide whether to pass or shoot. I said it earlier Dragic's 3 % went from 29.1 to 46.7 < that right there is what he brings. If he could improve Oladipo's 3 % .327 by just 12% that would bring him up to a .447 3 baller and if that were to happen I'm sure a good chunk of this board would be ecstatic! The ability to change the game even without the ball is a huge asset we lacked this big time last year. But go ahead we get it, you don't agree with the pick and that's fine.

    Magic sign Channing Frye

    IYO that's fine. However the Magic will not be a contender for at least 4 years.. So signing someone to help your rookies grow and get better shots is a terrible signing lol. Tobias can slide to the 3-SF which suits him better on both sides of the ball and get more minutes because Harkless isn't progressing as he should. Frye will play 20-30 minutes and Gordon will get 15-20 minutes easily with this roster. With the rotation below we let Harris start at the 3 and Frye at the 4 with Gordon slowly coming of the bench like Oladipo did last year and we still can grow. KOQ can play the 4 or even the 5 at times, Nicholson isn't on the roster IMO waste of space/roster spot. I am all about getting younger players minutes however this signing helps with DEPTH and another face to learn from, which is what playoff teams have. PF: Frye, Gordon,KOQ,Nicholson--> Should be sent to D League SF: Harris, Harkless, Green C: Vuc, KOQ, Dedmon

    Magic sign Channing Frye

    How is Frye not a short term answer? He creates space to help our rookie/2nd year players to get better shots and be more confident on the court. He is better than any PF we have on the team and will start from day 1. He wasn't brought here for Veteran Leadership alone, if you think/agree with that then that's ok.

    Oh my lord no he didn't go there.. wait wait yeah he did. Price and Maxiel.. that's so funny the last time I heard that I fell of my dinosaur. Price+Maxiel were nothing more than a D League/Summer League player. The fact that you can't grasp why this signing is a good one is crazy. So what we paid a little more for a stretch 4 that "can only shoot the 3". Did you not see the part where he raised Dragic's 3 ball from 29.1 to 46.7 % just by being on the floor? That's huge, almost 20% increase all just because he can space things out. Or did you not see the pick and pop the suns ran time after time with Frye and Dragic. The Magic will run that as well and we could even have more options with it IE: Gordon lob, Dipo jumpshot, Frye 3.. I think we are all nervous/excited with the big FA's out there however we are in no spot to lure them here. It's going to take time like everyone has said 2-4 years, it could be improved with a big FA in 15' of 16' but lets trust the system until it can't be trusted/dumps progressing players for a Gilbert Arenas.
