orlandoholic 134 Report post Posted June 23, 2023 11 minutes ago, O_SteveO said: I think Black can play with Cole and Suggs off the bench. He’s big enough to guard 3’s, obviously has the facilitating, and moves pretty well off the ball for a guy without a great deep shot. Conversely (outside of Hendricks) there wasn’t really anyone else at 6 you can plug into that bench without taking their minutes. One take i took from interviews of Weltman yesterday was that we want positionless basketball and also high bball iq.. Although i love what Cole brings to this team. Ultimately he is not what we are aiming for imo. He can’t provide to the vision of positionless basketball and he also is a score first, low bball iq type playing style Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can he do that long term? I don’t know, but to your point, no he’s definitely confined to a certain role because of his size and play style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fan for too long 2 531 Report post Posted June 23, 2023 I think Suggs is the odd man out here. Black’s play style is nearly the same as Jalen’s, hopefully a better version. AB should also be more of a cover on defense like Jalen, when playing with Cole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrueBlueDrew 75 Report post Posted June 23, 2023 Potential Free Agents? Gary Trent Jr. Victor Oladipo Seth Curry Max Strus PJ Washington Shake Milton I personally wouldn't mind the Magic making some type of offer to the Trailblazers for Dame, then going after Gary Trent Jr. as 6th man.

I could see that F. Wagner, Johnson, Banchero could work in an interchangeable kind of system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As noted, Trent opted in. I assume Oladipo will opt in as well, and if he doesn't, his injury history concerns me. I like Seth Curry, and he strikes me as the type of veteran SG we should be trying to bring in, though at 32-33 I would prefer a 2-3 year deal instead of a 4-year. I think Strus and Milton are guys to look at as well. Washington is a forward that is going to want to be a starter, but I don't think with Franz and Paolo that he would be a good fit here.

Reaves is like Linsanity. All hype.. His play is not sustainable. Dude was getting FT like Harden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason Funderburker 111 Report post Posted June 23, 2023 The problem with Reaves and the two Miami guys is that they are just going to make huge amounts of money that I doubt they are going to be able to play up to 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
