His value is on the offensive end WE CAN'T WIN GAMES GOING TO HIM IN THE FOURTH QUARTER If you're an offense only player and you can't sustain scoring late in games you're not worth paying. But he is an all star caliber player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said I was okay with neither being on the roster next year. I’d have a problem with both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrueBlueDrew 75 Report post Posted February 1, 2019 So someone explain this to me... How do the Magic who are already struggling to appear like a competent organization and front office... How do they survive the embarrassment of finally having an All-Star post Dwight...but then we trade him? I know I said we should resign him while Bamba is developed...but I think this question needs to be considered more than just saying "trade him to make room for Bamba."

harley 61 Report post Posted February 1, 2019 Not sure it’s been said, but with Knicks getting DSJ that means they won’t draft Morant and we might be able to snag him right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeHateMe 697 Report post Posted February 1, 2019 Guys making the all star game is a good accomplishment—don’t get me wrong—but there’s a difference between players that make it once or twice in their careers vs perennial all stars. Vuch having the title of “all star” shouldn’t change the way you look at him. We are an awful team. He gets the entire offense run through him. Goes ghost when the game matters. Doesn’t play defense. It’s a no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harley 61 Report post Posted February 1, 2019 They’re more than likely picking before us in draft, and they will pass on Morant. So he could fall to our pick? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you have to consider what it looks like to other orgs. I understand he was literally the last one added on but he's still considered one of the best players this season. I think that carries weight in the minds of other players. I mean, in a bigger way, I think you can compare this to NYK. They finally get Porzingis, a player worth building around...and they trade him for a player they passed on in the draft to clear cap space for 2 max contracts in the summer. There is a reason people think the Knicks Front Office are a joke. There is a reason why players aren't flocking to go to NY. How you treat players means something to others.
