South_Aussie_Magic 90 Report post Posted March 29, 2022 8 minutes ago, TrueMagicFan07 said: We have a lot of young guys, but sooner or later if the Magic continue down this path, some will get fed up with losing and will want to be traded same as Gordon. We aren't anywhere near there yet. And that was said about the old team as well before it was mishandled. We do have a couple of years before it becomes an issue but I am sure the guys on the roster understand what we need to break the mediocrity cycle. We won't want all of them by the end either, I just hope the FO we have now makes better choices about who to keep and continues to target a game changer. The problem with Aaron as well was he sometimes thought he could be "the guy" but never had it in him to make the leap. Unfortunately, he wasn't the only one who thought a leap would come Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We get the number 1 pick and everyone will be changing there tune If we get #1 and we pick Chet. Adios sayonara auf wiedersen goodbye 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No more tall sticks that will be injured most of the time. Maybe we get lucky and get the 1st pick and some other team really wants him and loads us up. I'd be happy with any of the other top 6.

If you think a top 5 will significantly change what we’re seeing this season, I want some of what you’re drinking. Get ready for rinse and repeat next year. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno man, I don’t think this is a draft worth tanking this hard for. We’ve already got a ton of young talent, and right now we’re showing them that winning isn’t important. Maybe in the long run it’ll mean nothing, who knows. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dowtin/Iggy/Admiral/Chuma/M.Wagner for the last 9 minutes Really depressing. We had a lot of games early when the same starting 5 was finishing the games, even if some bench player deserved to be into. And now, we're sending another terrible message to the players. Even the low Cleveland has built something in those seasons, and we're still tanking... more blatantly than in the past. Also, I thought we were playing the Bulls! :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
