Far as I'm concerned, the starting 5 needs to be Carter, Banchero, Wagner, Suggs, and Fultz, with a 5 man bench of Anthony, Isaac, Bamba, Okeke, and either Ross or Hampton, and let the youth play and develop. We aren't gonna get anywhere by trying to sabotage success for draft picks. If the team genuinely isn't good enough, then we can make an evaluation based on that and decide where to go from there. I *still* don't know how I feel about the Vuc trade, but we did get Wagner out of it so it looks like it wasn't all bad, but the time for trying to stock pile top draft picks is over. Fultz has 2 years left, Cole has 2 years left, Suggs and Wagner are on rookie deals for a couple more years, and contracts like Ross and Harris are about to come off the books. We have to look at what we have while we can afford to do it and will have money to afford any replacements. We clearly won the vuc trade beyond belief. We got Wendell & Franz and a pick in this years draft lol. 1 1 Quote

We won in terms of potential and draft picks, no doubt about it. In terms of actually winning games now and in the future, the jury is still out. All that potential and the draft picks are only meaningful insofar as they ultimately translate into creating a winning team. 1 Quote

MagicFanDan Posted October 11, 2022 Report Posted October 11, 2022 This is the first preseason game of the I’ve gotten to watch. I’m excited to say the least for the season. Quote
Jay Magic Posted October 11, 2022 Report Posted October 11, 2022 Our front court is gonna be the best front court in the league real soon 1 Quote
MagicFanDan Posted October 11, 2022 Report Posted October 11, 2022 When healthy (besides JI/Suggs) are we looking at an early season rotation of: PG: Fultz/Cole SG: Harris/Ross SF: Franz/Chuma PF: Paolo/ Bol C: Wendell/ Bamba I don’t know how I feel about Bol Bol being in the rotation. I think I’d rather shift Ross and Chuma down and play RJ or Houston. what is your thoughts? Quote

Jay Magic Posted October 12, 2022 Report Posted October 12, 2022 Greg Anthony “Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner will be one of the best front court duos in the NBA” Add in WCJ too... Quote
TreyMachine Posted October 12, 2022 Report Posted October 12, 2022 I'm noticing that Banchero isn't really racking up the assists like we all thought he would. Is he making good passing decisions out there and guys aren't knocking down shots or is he not as much of a facilitator as we all thought? Haven't been able to watch any preseason games yet. Quote
