I guess you forgot that that wasn't the current management; and most of us were not crazy about that trade to begin with. Also, I'm still not convinced that Oladipo becomes the player he now is without that year of working/practicing/learning from Russell Westbrook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, I did not forget that but Magic still gave up on Sabonis and Oladipo and that trade was a disaster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"We aren't talented enough to be giving up on young players this quickly" Sabonis and Oladipo are both young and Magic gave up on them quickly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That still doesn't make sense. We weren't talented enough to give up on oladipo so quickly as evidenced by the significant regression over the past 2 seasons.

Mack1085 57 Report post Posted April 30, 2018 If franchise cornerstone players are the rarest to find, you should seriously consider giving up two guys who are probably elite role players or fringe all-stars for him. And you should ask yourself why another team is passing on the chance for a franchise cornerstone for 2 elite role players.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That wouldn't be my assessment My assessment so far is that he is a very tall skinny kid that shoots OK, is great on defense, and is good for 20-40 games a year. I can only base my assessment on what I have seen. Yes Isaac MIGHT be a franchise cornerstone, OR, he could be exactly what we've seen in our evaluation year.

Because judging a rookie by how many games they play is always a great idea. Admit it man, you jump to conclusions about our players (in a negative way) way too quickly.
