A Better DJ & Photographer 473 Report post Posted November 2, 2022 We have 1 PG in Fultz. With him out we have none. If we don't make a move to get some kind of PG help then it's obvious that we are tanking. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,487 Report post Posted November 2, 2022 I personally wouldn’t mind trading a second for Patrick Beverley if LA would do it. Dude is old but a leader who knows his role (defense and shooting). The lack of consistency at the guard position hurt us in our last rebuild, and I’d hate for it to hurt us in this rebuild. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaVar 108 Report post Posted November 3, 2022 Why are fultz and Isaac still out? This is laughable at this point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hootie249 309 Report post Posted November 3, 2022 Fultz broke his toe. It sucks but it really happened. Isaac might as well be on Mars. I think we all need to calm down at this point. Plenty of other teams are major disappointments. Trust me nobody is more hyped then me to start winning again. I feel like this season is going to be an obvious turning point, it's just going to be the second half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He'll miss training camp though and possibly a week or two of the season. On 9/26/2022 at 8:50 PM, JJZFL said: This is the Magic we’re talking about. He’ll probably be out all season. Well here we are at 39 days and zero word regarding Fultz. Doesn’t mean he won’t show up in the next few games, but as usual the recovery seems to be taking longer than expected.

Now Fultz could suddenly come back in the next few days but it doesn’t seem all that likely. I’m not one who believes that Fultz returning solves all our problems on offense, but it would be nice to have the opportunity to find out how much it would help (if at all). By the way, there was never any information provided about how Fultz or Harris got injured in the first place, just another indication of the Magic’s total lack of transparency on this issue.

There actually was information put out on how Fultz got injured. He said he stubbed his toe at home and broke it, it was also reported he initially practiced for a few days before finding out it was broken. So it seems like he should be back any day now unless he suffered a setback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah it wasn’t clear whether he injured it playing, or stubbed it at home (how often does that happen to a professional athlete causing a fracture?) or something else. And I don’t think the Magic actually put out any information. We’ll see when the “any day” happens; the Magics lack of transparency in this stuff makes me extremely skeptical. It seems like our players in general come back from injury very slowly, even leaving out Isaac who is obviously an outlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we don't make a move to get some kind of PG help then it's obvious that we are tanking. It has been a tough 2 at home and 6 on the road start of the season schedule but the 1 - 7 record is something that seems is eroding the season very quickly.....unfortunately. Although the next 7 are at home, there are some very good teams coming in and the ones that are not good have a better record than us except the Rockets. So after 15 games, we could be looking at a 3 -12 or 4 -11 record.....which could soon thereafter put the team in tanking mode, officially. Nothing to play for except the 2023 draft.
