Pizza and wings should do the trick :)

All he needs to do is spend a week or so with me and I’ll put some weight on him. 

home made and fried wings with home made calzones, we should hit up W eltman to join the Magics culinary staff. Mo Speights has to sign off on the hire

After watching Cleveland beat Toronto last night and Utah beat Houston tonight, the NBA is a perimeter league with 3 point shooting a MUST.  Makes our work that much tougher since we rank at the bottom on 3 point shooter %.   Hope we can find some shooters in the next draft or two.  Otherwise it looks like it could be a longer than desired rebuild!

We came in a few games from worst in the league. We suck at everything! Hopefully management can at least get us going in the right direction through the draft, trades, FA, and a coach that will develop our youngins. Dumping EP for a 2nd was the beginning, now if we can just put some defense at the rim our guys can guard better on the perimeter. We need to draft a shooter (Young) or a rim protector with our 1st round pick and be smart with our 2nd round picks. 1 way or the other we have to come away with a competent PG and a big and either jettison Vuc or move him to the bench.

Definite work in front of us to be done.  Good news is the nucleus of Gordon, Isaac, and whoever we draft.  Resigning Mario (as unlikely as that seems) would be nice and help the shooting long term!  Need 3 great picks this year for sure.  If first pick is a big we need to get guys who can shoot already (i.e. guys like Bates-Diop, Daum, and Divincenzo), not those we hope become good shooters!

Who is this year’s Mitchell? Given his athleticism and drive, and looking at the stats, perhaps it could be Sexton:

I love Sexton's energy, toughness, and will to win. I would not be disappointed at all if we got him, but not with #5.

Deandre Ayton and Doncic skipping the Combine. This may good for our chances to draft Doncic. If Young, Bagley, Porter or Bamba Wow scouts and team managers in the combine dont be surprise if the get picked ahead of Doncic. Which could be good for us.

It would be amazing if we got him! IMO he is the best shot to draft a future superstar.

Doncic has to skip- he still has Real Madrid obligations.

Probably will still do team specific workouts, as all the top guys do.
