It warmed my heart, my heart that had been frosted over by such a disheartening season lol

 

I'm happy for you, but I'm actually even more depressed, if possible, after reading that piece. Maybe the feeling would have been different reading it a month ago or so, but right now for me sound like a confirmation that nothing is going to change, and that they really believe that they can win it all this way, zagging when the rest of the league is zigging. Are we smarter than all the others? I don't believe so.

“Look, the CBA doesn’t really allow you to just keep developing talent and keep everybody,” Weltman says. “At some point, decisions must be made.”

sound like he would give extensions to everyone for all his life, only if CBA was allowing that...

Hypothetical, if the Sixers fire Nick Nurse would you guys bring him in to replace Mosley?

Much as I like Mosely, who seems like a great person, I think you have to grab Nick Nurse if he's available.

wow. so we really don't have a table setter and yet our GM thinks we're a complete team. meanwhile, someone need to tell them water is wet

Been living in Denver for a few years now and going to watch the Nuggets title run the rest of the year. Still a Magic fan for life but i want to watch good basketball and Jokic is the best.

KCPs wife posting something like this is wild. Especially if the guy is massively underperforming.

Seems like a joke to me.

I don’t think there is anything to it. But that’s a bad joke and needs to be investigated for sure

DRAYMOND: "At the end of the day, MFs gotta play a role in the NBA. It's 2 MFs on the team that can do what the f**k they wanna do. And 13 other MFs that gotta play a role."

Mosley should show this clip to the team, especially Cole.

I just thought since it’s so negative and rightfully so I’d post something positive. 
 

Paolo’s last ten games:

27.9 PTS 46.2 FG% 35.4% 78.4% FT% 6.5 REB 5 AST

 

I think he is 100% healthy again. Those are similar numbers to his breakout playoffs last year and at the beginning of this year.  He is still only 22 years old.  I know we aren’t winning but I think Franz and Paolo are pretty low on the list of problems.  Make moves in the off-season Weltman! Go Magic!

Yeah, he’s 2nd in points per game since the all-star break. He’s been great, Franz has been great, turning this thing around shouldn’t be too difficult.
