We'll see. People pulled that out of context from his exit interview. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,409 Report post Posted June 16, 2019 If we miss out on a top guard like Walker, Russell or Brogdon, I'd rather bring back Redick over Ross. However, I expect JJ to end up in Philly or Laker land. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s1n1st3r12 27 Report post Posted June 17, 2019 So if we are going for a top tier guard does this mean we are going to go with Fultz starting at PG and Walker/DLo/Brogdon as the 2? Also if we dont sign Vuc does this mean Bamba is going to start? I really would like to get rid of Fournier and get a guard who can shoot consistently.

Also as inconsistent as Ross was later in the year defensively he is still a better player than Redick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vuch for anything is a bad idea...I'm going to be such a debi downer next year if Vuch is on this team. I can't wrap my head around the idea of him on this team next year. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact that the league priority of players is to go to Los Angeles creates an overwhelming flaw. Western teams have too much of an advantage. I agree but some of this players are from LA and grew up watching this LA team. Remember that they all were fans before. IT is not truly 100% about the city but more about playing for the team they grew cheering for. LA has two teams and rarely you see players requesting a trade to the Clippers. 8-10 years ago, LA Lakers was not the only franchise players wanted to play for. In fact, The EAST was more of a desired destination than the West with Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and New York been at the top with the Lakers. Years later you saw Miami getting into that least for a few years. My point is that other than the Lakers, The east has more of an upside on desired destinations than the West. Brooklyn, Knicks, Phila, Boston, Chicago and Miami over maybe Lakers, Clippers, Dallas and Golden State Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are teams who can really use him but has no cap space to really offer him anything. Just like free agency, this year trade deadline will be as busy.

Would rather have him on a 1-2 year deal than Ross on a 4 year deal. Ross is too streaky and one dimensional for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't see JJ having the impact for us that Ross did this year, can't see how the age difference isn't a big factor, can't see how JJ fits into our projected defensive scheme better than Ross.

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted June 17, 2019 I think there needs to be a disclaimer in this discussion that im pretty sure JJ is Soul's favorite magic player. I don't think it's crazy to prefer JJ over 1-2 years over Ross for 4 based on how our future cap is shaking out. I'd be worried that JJ's production could fall off a cliff at any moment. He just passed 800 games, he's turning 35. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magicpassion 4 Report post Posted June 17, 2019 Now that New Orleans traded for Ball they have 2 point guards Ball/EP who both can’t shoot. I’ll bet they shop him to avoid the drama with LaVar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
