2016-2017 Season Discussion Thread

Not true Tmac was here when we drafted Dwight but decided he wanted to be traded.

 

 

 

 

Tmac wanted us to draft Okafor and demanded the trade partly because the FO decided to go with Dwight. So yes true, if Tmac stayed we would have had Okafor instead.

I think he's being utilized perfectly.

 

On offense he just stands in the corner waiting for someone to pass to him, not very creative

Man I really would love Bledsoe here if those knees weren't an thing.

 

Now on Ross at pg, magical so grain of salt, but if Vogel is flirting with that idea, why not incorporate Mario instead?. Mario ran point forward last season effectively. Hell hes better at it then our backup PG'S.

 

That's not Ross's game at all. It might even do Mario

some good to have the ball in his hands more as I think he's that kind of player and not really a JJ just run off screens type of player.

 

I don't think Vogel knows how to utilize Mario at all.

 

Mario gets into trouble when he tries to create. What little success he's had this season is when he catches and shoots off a screen or when he's open for some other reason.

 

So putting him at point is the very opposite of where he needs to be.

Interesting fact...there are 150 players in the NBA who have started at least 25 games this year. Of those players, Vooch has the 14th lowest TS%, Gordon the 20th lowest, Payton the 22nd lowest, and Fournier the 60th lowest.

Just found a documentary on Evan Fournier's off-season and how he re-signed with the Magic. I know it's in french, but maybe it will interest you.

 

His part in the video starts at 09:40.

We're just chock-full of backups on this roster.

Random HOF question: Looking at the finalist for this year, and saw TMac on there. Wondering, does he go in as a Magician or a Rocket?

We are like a bonifide D league team

GM Mitch Kupchak has been relieved of his duties and Jim Buss will no longer be EVP of Basketball Operations. 2/2

Wow, Jeanie Buss is ruthless and is cleaning house.

 

I think everyone knew that she was the one that would come out on top.

This might turn out bad.

 

 

Magic was a guy who once referred MCW as the next Jason Kidd and also said he'd take Brandon Knight with the number 1 pick.
