TreyMachine 399 Report post Posted July 13, 2014 Point taken and agreed with....But as I posted earlier about the Magic and their fickle fan base...We've had 2 tank years in a row...Staring at another sucky season....How long can Orlando NBA basketball sustain that ??? We lost many games late last year, but you could hardly say we got blown out continuously. I think it will be a growing season for AG and Easy E, but I fully expect Oladipo, Harris, and Vuc to lead the way, and Fournier to also be a surprise prospect. - I expect the Magic to win 30-35 games this season, just barely missing the playoffs. - I expect Efrid Payton to make All-Rookie First Team (minutes played will be high padding stats), and AG to make All-Rookie Third Team. - I expect Devyn Marble to gain 10-15 minutes a game as a back-up and start to really become a servicable role player on this team. - I expect Vuc to make his first NBA All-Star game as he will average 20 + 10 for the season (and thus we will have to pay him $12 mil + next season). Oladipo will not make an All-Star game, but will his 3rd season. - I expect Tobias Harris to be made Team Captain with Oladipo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted July 13, 2014 Quotes from a celtics message board: Payton continues to look like a really nice player. I want to see he and Smart go head to head. See if Smart can contain Payton's penetration. I can see why Elfrid Payton was compared to Rondo, the guy is all over the floor! A great statline with 7 rebounds already. Hmmm...

TreyMachine 399 Report post Posted July 13, 2014 There is no All-Rookie Third Team. Yes there is... I'm sure there is... there's *looking up online*.... :beatcomp: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Secretly Space Jesus 670 Report post Posted July 13, 2014 Yes there is... I'm sure there is... there's *looking up online*.... I wouldn't worry about it. The All-Rookie teams usually have more to do with hype than anything else. That's why you end up with "Michael Beasley 1st team, Kevin Love second team." And I don't even like Kevin Love that much.

Marc Acres 3:16 418 Report post Posted July 13, 2014 Can I predict the future ???...Obviously not....But I'd be willing to bet you on both of those questions !!! Are you as sure about them as you were about JJ and Javaris, and about getting Gilbert? I would be willing to bet on both of those. How about this, if I win, you stop trolling the board with every negative article or portion of an article you can find. If I lose, you stop trying to annoy the rest of the board in an attempt to do nothing more than be the board contrarian, how does that sound, it's a win win.

This rookie class is just so stacked that I just don't think Aaron Gordon has a chance from a stats perspective. Considering it is not based on position either, it will be hard for him to make anything (not that it matters for his career as a player). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreyMachine 399 Report post Posted July 13, 2014 On a completely separate (and unrelated note), can someone PM me and explain to me how to fix my Sig?
