Maybe we forgot to hang up the land line a few weeks ago when we were apparently in the talks for DSJ and no one has been able to reach the Magic FO lmao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheNameIsOrlando 310 Report post Posted February 1, 2019 Can I ask why we are talking about 30 year old PGs who don't rely on athleticism as if they are not in the thick of their primes? They won't fall off a cliff in 2-3 years. When did 30 become 33? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it all comes down to the person. Middleton doesn’t have the potential to be a mover and shaker in the outside of basketball realm. He’s a hell of a player as should stay where he is appreciated. Giannis obviously is a transcendent talent with a ton of marketing potential. It just seem in his case he’s comfortable. He should be, they’ve built around him and will continue to do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we could get him for nothing major it’s a good move though either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DJ provides some of that but he can’t provide the defensive needs we have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really depends on the guy. 33 seems to be the age it all falls apart looking at Chris Paul, Tony Parker, Andre Miller. Though Billups was still good at 35, Nash 37, Kidd 36, Cassell 36. But Deron Williams and Mike Bibby sucked at 29. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They know that we desperately need a PG. There have been multiple reports of the Magic asking about a few around the league. If the deadline comes and goes and they haven't done anything to address the PG spot, I'll be shocked. I think the real question is Vuc. What will they do with him? I think as well as Ross is playing, I'll be surprised if Fournier is on the team past the deadline too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
