Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted September 20, 2016 Jodie Meeks was a stud before injuries. Could he be Grant Hill 2.0 but a completely healed version? He is scheduled to return in November! http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/orlando-magic/magic-basketblog/ you gotta pace yourself. need to start out slow in September and build up to unbridled optimism once there's something tangible to discuss.

Ibn Battuta 127 Report post Posted September 20, 2016 Only in the 7 million ballpark over 4 years And that would include the 5th year. Who else are they going to max? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted September 20, 2016 And that would include the 5th year. Who else are they going to max? might be smarter to get to that third contract sooner. Plus a bit of insurance incase salary rules change next summer. for a guy who 10 years ago was a starving child of illegal immigrants it probably made more sense to him to get his money guaranteed.

The Neighborhood Bully 266 Report post Posted September 21, 2016 A couple items from Bleacher Report's preview. Jeff Green's minutes will also be interesting: He's an ignitable scorer playing on a $15 million salary, but he's also a threat to steal playing time from Gordon and/or Mario Hezonja. How Orlando prioritizes production and prospect development will shape this rotation. If Orlando can stomach sitting both Vucevic and Biyombo, it could find a lethal five with Payton, Hezonja, Fournier, Gordon and Ibaka. Vogel should do wonders for the trajectories of Gordon, Hezonja and Payton. And with Ibaka and Biyombo in tow, the former Pacers coach could piece together some ferocious defensive looks. But the offense lacks a focal point, the defense still has its weak links and the roster as a whole has no discernible direction. Orlando is taking a win-now approach, only it neither has the pieces to win now nor the prospects who would benefit from more patience. The Magic have a higher skill level than last season, and if Vogel unravels this riddle of a roster, maybe there is a playoff prize at the end. But a year of treading water is more likely, meaning Orlando could be back at the drawing board again next summer. http://bleacherrepor...2016-17-preview Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Neighborhood Bully 266 Report post Posted September 21, 2016 Thats depressing... nah, what's depressing is they have the Lakers second worst, and if they hold that position after the lottery drawing, our first round pick from them becomes 2 second rounders.

Ibaka. the summer of 2014 he was considered a top 25 player. turning back into that guy would be franchise changing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For comparison, our over under was 32.5 last year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
