But i really have unwavering confidence that our team is about to make a massive jump. We was held back on a leash alot last season on purpose. The thing i will say is are management looking to have 1 more year of tanking/development and trying to get Wenbanyama next season.. if so then of course no home court nor play in. Like I say I admire your optimism. I expect we'll be better than the 20 odd wins we mustered last year but do I expect we'll win 40+ games? Nah. Better to be pessimistic and pleasantly surprised than optimistic and let down haha 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let’s see how this take holds up in 5 years I hear you MP. I honestly believe we are going to smash teams this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every team that is bad after the all-star break will alter the line-ups a bit. The Pacers and Blazers absolutley tanked last year but not until they were bad and made trades. If the Magic have the same bad record at the all-star break they will definitely give whoever is left more rest days and slip in some two way players. But they won't have to tank. They will just be bad, hopefully this doesn't happen. If we are getting better and most players are healthy they are going to try. How do we know? Because wwe have been that team for years. Playoffs incoming hootie. We are going to smoke teams this season. Its gonna be hilarious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah bro I'm saving for a wedding and a honeymoon I haven't got £50 to lose at the moment (even if I don't actually think I'd lose haha). I appreciate everyone on this board trying to bet with me though it's a good job I'm not a recovering gambling addict! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mauro Pedrosa 1,032 Report post Posted June 23, 2022 Jaden Ivey just seems to be the Damian Lillard / Chris Paul / Doncic / Young / Wade of this draft. High floor guard and likely star that gets ignored because teams just love to draft frontcourt players with the highest picks. There might be a ton of action in this draft so I’ll be open minded and give the front office some time until I judge the pick. They earned a lot of good will with the Franz pick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,482 Report post Posted June 23, 2022 Givony has moved Peyton Watson to 28 to the Warriors on his board? He has us taking him at 35 and I thought that was too high. There's also been rumours we enquired about 28 from the Warriors and that they were open to trading out... I swear to god if we trade up to 28 and pick Peyton Watson of all people I'll be very disappointed (I'll eventually talk myself into believing he'll be good but for a few hours I'll be livid lol) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
