The Buccaneer 74 Report post Posted January 30, 2019 2 minutes ago, MagicOne said: Truthfully I don't see anything of major significance taking place by the deadline. One thing I am fairly certain of though is that we won't be happy. That I can tell you. Nor do I. Vuc will make the allstar game and that’ll be touted as our silver lining. He will walk in the off season and we’ll draft another front court or defensive wing. We’ll try to sign a second rate starter and DJ will become the new Ross (minus the defensive ability). We’ll hope that one of the young guys will make a leap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicOne 119 Report post Posted January 30, 2019 I'm watching a special on the Magic 2008-2009 team that went to the Finals. Rashard Lewis had a little hitch in his shot much like Isaac does. If JI could eventually shoot the triples like Lewis that would be tremendous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After that feel free to freak out What possible move do you see them making within 9 days that is a game changer? They won’t go after Conley since it doesn’t for our timeline, Lin/Brogdon are solid backups. Dennis Smith is the only hope on that front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Truthfully I think he has the most upside of the bunch if he can develop offensively. I don’t think he’ll be “the guy” but he’s a piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(when I say hands down no pun intended for Bamba's defense). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Free throws he is 80% or more i think...It is a good sign Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that’s the case then don’t force it is all I’m trying to say. Don’t worry we won’t. We’ll trade Ross for a second string point guard (likely a decent one) or a 2nd round pick. Our splash will be negligible on the front. Not saying you should wheel and deal constantly but you don’t win much when you don’t put your’ chips on the table.

Brogdon is starting and the third leading scorer on the best team in the East today. There's been too much noise for us to make no moves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Continuing to roll out Fournier and Vooch after so many years makes little sense. I hope we clear the cupboard just to focus on developing the young guys. It might be ugly at times but our current pattern is the equivalent of being stuck in the mud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
