2017 Official Offseason Thread

[UEBERMORTAL 125]

So, Evan Fournier was invited by a french bball show called 'First Team' and he spoke a bit about the Magic and the Free agency:

 

On the Magic:

 

- He was ranting about the constant changes at the coaching position and is not sure about Frank Vogel (saying, 5 years ago with Hibbert and West, Vogel was displaying good defensive bball, but now that the game has changed (p&r etc.) Vogel, which he consider him still being a good coach, has some problems to adapt.)

- He apparently hasn't any idea in which direction the new gm/president will go.

- He's praising Terrence Ross' work ethic, saying that he's not selfish and a good pick-up.

- Saying that Aaron Gordon never should have start as SF and that Vogel lost a lot of time by trying him out at this position.

- He is not expecting any big signings nor trades.

 

On the Free agency:

- Was ranting about the trade of Avery Bradley (only defensive 'pitbull' Boston had), which he didn't understand and was expecting the C's to make a push towards beating Lebron.

- He would have loved to play with George Hill and is questioning, why he landed in Sacramento and not in Orlando.

The internet lied to me. When you Google shelvin mack wingspan on a desktop it comes up big bold letters 7'0 at the top of the page

 

Nice!

Not a fan of Fournier undermining the coach. Hope we trade him tbh.

Strangely, for all of his shooting woes, he is pretty decent offensively by many measures- it is defensively that he is a liability.

 

Of course, he would go from mediocre to good if he could ever get a decent shot.

 

 

He can get to the basket. That's his offensive strength. If he could ever become a solid shooter, he's an borderline all star. If he can be better defensively he IS an all star.

Thanks. We should have picked up Hill

Thanks. We should have picked up Hill

 

This means Fournier doesn't believe in Payton. One of them has to go.

[The Neighborhood Bully 266]

This means Fournier doesn't believe in Payton. Both of them have to go.

Fixed

[The Neighborhood Bully 266]

The best thing about signing Shelvin Mack?

 

We won't be signing Trey Burke.

[Tank Vogel 191]

He's saying what we are all afraid of on Vogel. We need continuity this year but they are evaluating him as much as the roster.

What he said is true and a valid concern that many of us have.

 

This means Fournier doesn't believe in Payton. One of them has to go.

 

Who does believe in Payton?

 

He's saying what we are all afraid of on Vogel. We need continuity this year but they are evaluating him as much as the roster.

 

Exactly.

[Magicman28 295]

He needs to check himself.

 

His defense, him making his team better, etc. He's not in a position to speaking in such a way.

This isn't that big of a deal
