A Better DJ & Photographer 450 Report post Posted March 7, 2018 8 minutes ago, fan for too long 2 said: Your optimistism about how good This team is and the coach is, knows no bounds. It's not really how good we are, it's how bad some other teams are and also some teams are intentionally tanking. Unless we tank (which we won't) we will probably end up with the 7-9th pick. I would be thrilled for that not to be the case! If were the GM when we were tied for the worst record I would have told Vogel that I don't want to win another game. Ayton or Doncic would quickly turn this team around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Today i learned that thinking a team has a pretty good chance to finish outside the top 5 while that team is in a 4 way tie for 4th is boundless optimism.

Oh I'm in no position to speculate on how 'good we are'. I took the posters question as a hypothetical question meant to be taken in a general void. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted March 7, 2018 I just don't think there's a substantive difference between a 24 win team and a 27 win team. The difference between the two might be a good week for Mario or Simmons. But that also might be the difference between 3 and 8 in the lottery. Margins are thin.

And the difference between getting a guy that is pretty close to NBA ready or a 3 year project. We need to play Vuc for entire games until we get some space. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best teams are determined in the playoffs. Maybe if we had a playoff for all of the teams that didn't make the actual playoffs to determine who the worst was...

Originalticketholder 133 Report post Posted March 7, 2018 That weasel Silver loves this. More drama at the bottom than the top. He is enabling tanking with his fines and letters to owners. Love the opinions on this board since they cover all scenario's and yes we are off the rail!!! The great thing is we love the Magic and want then to succeed. Me personally am I for tanking this year only. If healthy next year and we add Doncic or Ayton order your playoff tickets!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
