I know my response to your post is a week late. I don't claim to be a photoshop wizard, but I thought I would take a whack at it--play around. I know that some of the Magic players' pictures I used in this graphics were probably off the injured list by the time I completed this.

Also, when I was doing the game thread starters, I posted a lot of pictures. Since toward the end of last season I have been getting  messages  that  I  have used all of the attachment space I am allowed. So, the graphic I designed might be deleted.

I just realized the All-Star break is over two weeks away! So time to focus on the deadline. 

Because of injuries and the fact that our GM is a scaredy cat i expect nothing. It would seem to be prudent to let everyone heal and regression to the mean fix the team.

However, i cannot see us using all of our picks the next few years. Why not make a trade? Now is the time, especially because the Thunder can outbid everyone starting now or forever.

I don't think Utah or OKC or even New Orleans will try to acquire anyone now so we can out bid most teams. It's either now or this summer. The WCJ and Isaac extensions were A and B moves. A, being cheap depth towards a championship. B, being salaries towards a trade. WCJ is out but i would so trade Isaac in a big deal.

Nuff said.

Somebody has to do it.

 

Hi, Mauro. I'm fine. Just chillin'  here at my vacation in Maryland near D.C. How have you been?

I know these last few games have been a big disappointment for our tbn  brothers and sisters. But we can't  let it get us down because the team has been through a lot with all of the injuries.

As Jay Magic use to always say, "think positive".

I look at it this way, we have to BELIEVE  that things will get better.

GO MAGIC

Utah trade works as well.

 

 ORL get Sexton + Kessler

JAZZ get G. Harris+ J. Howard+ Joseph + Houstan and two firsts and multiple seconds 

 

Rotation

PG: Sexton, AB, Cole

SG: Suggs, KCP, Queen

SF: F. Wagner, TDS

PF: Banchero, Isaac

C: Kessler, Bitadze, WCJ

we‘d obviously see some two center lineups as well. And in the offseason WCJ is on the block. 

Still like Cam Johnson more for us. But somehow i don’t see us going after him

There have been 44 players who have had the ball in iso situations at least 150 times this season. Among them, the @OrlandoMagic’s Paolo Banchero has the second highest double-team percentage, while Franz Wagner has the seventh highest, per Second Spectrum data.

Of those players with 150 iso situations, the top 10 in getting double teamed based around percentage:
1. Jokic
2. Paolo
3. Ingram
4. Siakam
5. AD
6. Durant
7. Franz
8. Giannis
9. DeRozan
10. Scottie Barnes

if there was anyone out there interested in Kuzma, read this.. These quotes are terrible. 

This guy thinks the NBA is the GLeague. I don’t see how any winning team would be interested in his service and loosing teams tend to want to tank, so he’s on a path out of the league imo

Great post. Now just imagine their teammates hitting open shots or making that extra pass to get a teammate an even better shot. That’s the goal!

Maybe I'm coloured by the fact that he always cooks us but if Bobby Portis shakes lose in any Bucks deal I wouldn't mind calling about him as essentially a rental as the Mo Wagner replacement (this is complicated by the fact he has a player option but I'd be gambling on him declining that to try and secure more guaranteed money).
