I believe that shows how much we believe in Aaron and Isaacs potential as much as anything. Remember how much better we looked with Augustine starting at the 1, now imagine young there. that's scary.

Yeah, we're not one of those teams that can afford to bottom out for 3 more years and pick BPA. This has been a down year and we should tank the year, but we have to re-sign Aaron Gordon and try to compete in 18-19 and beyond. Gordon and Isaac have all the tools to be good to great players in today's NBA and we need a guard that can do it all on offense. We need a Damian Lillard or even a Donovan Mitchell and those guys aren't falling off of trees. We have to take a competent guard, no excuses. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mauro Pedrosa 1,031 Report post Posted December 26, 2017 I don't think we have to completely blow up this roster. Biyombo has a huge contract and won't be traded. I think he can be a decent starting center if we get a good point guard who can run the pick and roll and shoot off the dribble. PG: Trae Young SG: who cares? SF: Isaac PF: Gordon C: Biyombo That team can be good with a coach that knows what he's doing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murphy13 185 Report post Posted December 26, 2017 2 hours ago, Magicfan1987 said: Porter Jr. do we take him if he looks healthy? Porter Jr. AG and Isaac would be a long athletic front court. BUT if Isaac can't play 5 and is a 3, could the 6'10" porter play 2 guard? are all three players best suited at the 4? I think that's a very interesting question Hypothetical first pick question? If he's the best chance at superstar talent, then yes. You never draft by positional need unless the player is at the top of your board at that pick. Never. Unless you're Mauro, of course.

I will bring the lolz if you can effectively do that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The games I'm watching have 7 footers as the marquee matchups. Accordingly, the title of our game preview on ESPN is 'Heat-Magic matchup missing key big men'. The downfall of the big was vastly overstated, they still own it as long as they're good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't be opposed to trading one of AG or Isaac for CJ McCollum, and drafting one of the Forward/Center prospects this year, but we do need a guard that can create for himself and others. I think that's our biggest need Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
