Watching Ben McLemore and Jabari Parker duke it out in the Spanish League wasn’t in my 2024 bingo card

74 points?

3 hours ago, CTMagicUK said:It's a good point. And I've got an essay saved in my notes I almost posted here (it was getting stupid long lol) about how I think Suggs at PG is a viable option the Magic could take long term.
Then I just tried to write a TLDR of the essay and it still somehow devolved into an essay. But the TLDR of the TLDR is that the most desirable roleplayers are high feel guys with positive positional size who can pass/dribble/shoot (the reason they're desirable is because that sounds close to a description of a star but I'm not saying they can pass like Magic, dribble like Kyrie and shoot like Steph, just that they can do enough of each for their position/role). And a 6'6 guy like that is probably just as valuable to the starting 5 if not more than a "true PG" given Paolo and Franz will have a lot of the ball anyway.
There is a caveat however that this team is really devoid of pull-up 3 point shooting which could be an issue which (subconsciously) I think is why a lot of Magic fans pine after the ball handling, 30 pick and rolls a game scoring guard because they see the pull-up shot making and how unstoppable that can be which is something this team hasn't had in any real way since like Jameer Nelson.
You should start a website with your NBA and College BBall takes. Shoot me a message if you need help
And I browse other team forums a lot. The Pistons fans are really happy that Killian Hayes is gone. Cade's numbers with Ivey are far better than they were with Killian.
The Nets are also complaining about playing Ben Simmons with another non-shooter. You can get away with 1, but having multiple non-shooters at a time is a recipe for disaster.

One thing that was understated before the deadline is that if Suggs can develop his PG play we might not need anyone else.
We’ve seen teams win the chip with faux PGs and two tall ball handlers like the Bucks with Jrue, Middleton and Giannis.

I like it. Plenty of shooting

Has me wondering if Fultz went to the University of Kentucky

He always cooks us. Several game winners too.
And let’s not pretend like he is the new Steve Nash, but our team would be soooo much better with him.
The East is a crapshoot after Boston. We could have made a statement instead of holding our breaths during the play in

Just now, Soul Bro said:Murray with 25/9/10 already through 3 quarters. That's the kind of stat line I hope we get someday from our guard position.
They were basically offering him to the highest bidder, but our front office still wanted to evaluate the guard rotation…

Yes, great title fight between Volkanovski and Topuria.
And Premier League for the footy fans. Brentford vs Liverpool, Tottenham vs Wolverhampton, Man City vs Chelsea should all be very entertaining

I love this unit with the Wagners, Isaac and Ingles

JJ will always be one of us

Oh, well

That was a phenomenal Super Bowl

Gafford is going to be a beast on those lobs with Luka and PJ Washington is just an overall good player that they need. Washington would have been great for us as well.
Those were two terrific additions. The NBA, and the West in particular, is stacked

Dejounte Murray with 34 points, 4 of 9 from three in a W.
I don’t necessarily think we needed to trade Fultz away. I don’t have a personal beef with him, but it would be nice if our starting PG could explode like that semi-regularly. We have brilliant defenders at the other positions and it would be so fun to watch

Donte DiVincenzo is really, really good. Even better than I expected him to be.
Not just a shooter, either. Has a great layup package, as the kids like to say
