the notorious S.A.C. 89 Report post Posted May 5, 2014 Wow clean Jameer and Affalo off the books and we are sitting mighty pretty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mauro Pedrosa 1,033 Report post Posted May 6, 2014 Re-sign Jameer for like 5 mil a year and no thanks to Gordon Hayward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNameIsOrlando 310 Report post Posted May 6, 2014 Wow clean Jameer and Affalo off the books and we are sitting mighty pretty. Not sure if you feel this way but why are people so quick to give up Jameer? I understand he clears up cap space but people ***** and moan about every tom dick and harry who has left us and we have Jameer who has stuck with it. He's a Magic man and has never been anything up good to us I think we should do the same for him and let him retire a Magic. I'm almost positive he'd sign a contract that would not hinder our rebuilding. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm almost positive he'd sign a contract that would not hinder our rebuilding. Agreed. I also think he has value if he becomes more of a spot up shooter. He could be a great backup PG or a Mario Chalmers type of starter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He could be a great backup PG or a Mario Chalmers type of starter He excelled at playing off the ball when we had Hedo running point-forward. That's what made him an all-star.

magicblue 315 Report post Posted May 6, 2014 I'm okay with keeping Jameer at a minimal salary, but he's going to have to accept a bench role...it's time to move on and find our starting PG of the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trey Time 186 Report post Posted May 6, 2014 I want Jameer here forever, but then again I also want #14 in the rafters so I'm biased. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike1989 68 Report post Posted May 6, 2014 I think keeping hold of Jameer, at a sensible price, would be a good idea. He could be a valuable starter if the team don't draft a PG (eg Embiid/Parker/Wiggins at #3 and Gordon/Payne/Hood at #12), a decent backup if the team don't draft a PG and continue with Oladipo at PG (eg Parker/Wiggins and Gary Harris/James Young/Nik Stauskas), or a decent backup if the team does draft a PG at either spot in the first round. I'd like to see us keep Jameer and ultimately see him retire a Magic player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Secretly Space Jesus 670 Report post Posted May 6, 2014 He excelled at playing off the ball when we had Hedo running point-forward. That's what made him an all-star. This is simply not true. Jameer had a higher assist rate than Hedo in basically every year they played together, AND had a higher usage rate than Hedo did in every year but 1. And no, the one year where Hedo's usage was higher, oddly, wasn't the one you're thinking of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bhnole 153 Report post Posted May 6, 2014 I would like see them bring Jameer back if anything other than to have an $8M expiring contract as an asset for the trade deadline next year. Cutting him know doesn't do enough for us to be big player in FA while we are still paying off BBD and Harrington. I think next summer will be when we look at FA's aggressively after taking another season to evaluate what we have after adding in two lottery picks. Hennigan should not pick up AN's option for 2015 or sign any FA's guaranteed for more than next season....leave as much flexibility as possible for the summer of 2015. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
