hootie249 293 Report post Posted October 26, 2022 The real problem is once we knew Fultz and Harris were going to miss the start of the season, along with the schedule we knew October was going to be brutal. Just not worst team in the league bad. We are the worst team in the league, pretty much no debate. However i do find the games much more enjoyable to watch.....until the fourth quarter. We need some veterans on the team! NBA has changed a lot with the 3 point shot but one thing that hasn't changed, vets win fourth quarters. The other thing is a hot shooting team beats anyone with the 3 ball being shot 30-40 times a game. This is what is going on in San Antonio,Utah and Portland. The starting team is 3 very young players and two vets who are not stars. That doesn't win in the NBA unless the two vets are the stars and the young players are specialists or future stars. Bench is hot garbage because of injuries, despite some moments from Bol Bol. Yes I think Paolo and Franz will have future all-star appearances but it's not a team constructed very well. I'm with everyone else now, i cannot blame injuries anymore when the front office sticks by guys for years. How many years is this team not going to acquire a real point guard? How come other teams get the 3 point shooters? Not even talking about the next coming of Klay Thompson or Steph Curry, just any of the 3 point specialists who go from team to team. Here are the players all listed. Get to work Magic GM's https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2022_totals.html#totals_stats::fg3a We can't draft shooters, we don't get the Banes or Vassells or Simons or anyone. We don't get the specialists like Seth Curry or Mills. We don't even get the low key guys like Devonte Graham or Alec Burks. Did you know Burks has shot over 40% from the 3 point line for 3 years straight? The Pistons are not even playing him right now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Natesroom 197 Report post Posted October 26, 2022 Sux we cant trade bamba till January. Packaging him and Chuma, Harris and Hampton could net us Kyrie. (not saying i want him) he is shooting 41% from three and can score and pass and play PG. They might do that as 3 of the players have "tangible" upside they dont have an inside presence and i bet bamba would pair nicely with durant, and hampton and chuma probably will benefit from the gravity of Durant... oh well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Lergier 99 Report post Posted October 26, 2022 From Deadspin article: Ten players that teams in the 'Lose-O-Rama for Wembanyama' should ship By Lee Escobedo Oct 25, 2022 @ 1:05AM JI has struggled to stay healthy and produce to his $17 million per year contract. The Magic’s young core has passed him, and he is now the odd-man out in Orlando, as Wagner and Ross have supplanted him at the three. With his outspoken conservative views, he has ostracized himself from the majority sentiments of the league, making it hard for him to be desired by other teams. Since he has already appeared on Fox News as a commentator, it’s likely that will be his next expedited gig if no other team shows interests.

Best Contender Fits: Fox News A trade built around Utah's Mike Conley & Isaac, with some picks thrown in might work. Might need another player or two on either side to make the numbers work. Brings us the back-court help we need, and a veteran that would probably be okay moving to the bench in the next year or so. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fan for too long 2 530 Report post Posted October 26, 2022 I’m for Duncan Robinson dude can shoot. As for Isaac he has been outspoken on his autonomy and been proven to be correct. Will other teams punish him for that and are the Magic punishing him for his views? The elephant sized question in the room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best Contender Fits: Fox News Political piece that doesn’t belong in here, suggesting that Isaac can’t play basketball in the NBA because of his political views, and that he should go to Fox News. I have serious concerns about Isaac from an injury standpoint which I’ve expressed here many times, but the above is not a serious sports article. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rest of the article isn’t political at all, but makes some decent points about other players. I don’t know why the author felt the need to go there on Isaac.
