Odin 137 Report post Posted November 19, 2018 In all of this Wall talk, I want to point out that the Magic are currently 5th in the NBA in assists per game. Per 100 possessions, we are 2nd. I don't think we need Wall to generate offense. We probably just need a slight improvement over Augustin so that we could move Augustin down to the bench to run the Bench unit.

~O~ 565 Report post Posted November 19, 2018 I'd rather take a new generation point guard in lonzo ball, Spencer dinwiddie, Kemba Walker, or D'Angelo Russell than touch wall or Beal. Screw that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is very true, our selfless play lately has been really nice to watch. The ball barely touches the floor but Wall could get to the rim, draw fouls which is something haven't been good at in how long now? Wall's contract is just so rough that I wouldn't be upset if we didn't make a push for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There really isn't an ideal option as I assume kemba isn't realistic. Everyone has a flaw. I just wonder if someone like dinwiddie at 4/60 can make you good enough that the gap between him and Wall isn't 4/110 million wide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We would benefit from a good passer on the court. Not a great use of resources though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magicpassion 4 Report post Posted November 19, 2018 I concur, we need a young point to grow with our core. We are looking pretty good as of late. We need to focus on our rebounds. I can’t understand why we are losing the battle of the boards with all the length we have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,480 Report post Posted November 19, 2018 If we can't get a real star PG I'd be happy paying a solid starter decent money for like 2 years of steady play and leadership. Like a Darren Collison or someone like that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Kemba becomes realistic if we make the playoffs this season. Add him to that core and we are in excellent shape. Guess we need to sit tight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted November 19, 2018 Also, don't fall for the "John Wall is actually bad" discussion. He's good. He's just probably the 18th best player in the league but being paid like he's LeBron. If he was making Mike Conley money it'd be easier to reckon with his poor leadership and locker room issues.

Jay Magic 1,239 Report post Posted November 19, 2018 said Evan Fournier, a teammate of Vucevic’s for five seasons. ``He’s the focal point of our offense and we run a lot of sets through him. With pick-and-rolls, hand-offs and post-ups, he’s the only inside guy that we have, and we want to play inside-out. He has the ball a lot, he makes good decisions and he’s making threes right now. So, perfecto!’’ Only inside guy? Bamba no? Bit weird... maybe he just meant as in ready to play that way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
