Staying tuned for an update on Suggs, he was back on the bench near the end of the game, so that’s a good sign.

Franz and P did their thing tonight. Great to see. Especially Franz in that 4th quarter, that’s elite

Wasn’t me and yes I said the forward part. It can happen but it is rare nowadays. Clowns, really? Everyone has a right to their own opinion!!!

That response cracked me up, Fan.       

 

....AND I DIDN'T DO IT EITHER!   /Just Kidding

The kid is talking to santa's elves in the christmas movie Polar Express.

. . . .and yes, I've watched that movie 100 times over the years during the holidays. The cinematography(?) is amazing. The characters are interesting and look real.  :)

In hindsight should the front office / us wished we had traded in 2023 draft, picks # 6 AB and # 11 Jett for # 4 or #5 Ausar or Amen Thompson?

Especially Amen, who is the "PG" of the two. I think the Magic with Amen would be better than the current team with AB and Jett.

Coming back to "this in hindsight" trade for Houston Rocket's pick for Amen who just recorded a triple double (23, 14 & 10) against none other than the Cavs.

For that pick not only the Magic could have offered the 6th and 11th pick but also the Denver's 1st that we have from them this year + any other player except Paolo, Fran and Jalen. They wanted JI, take him. Three (3) firsts for 1 !!!!

We would basically not loose a pick on any given year: Amen in 2023, TDS in 2024 and we have our own pick in 2025.

But it never happened and this front office will never do something like adding the Key Piece to get the team to be a true contender like it was done when Horace Grant and Rashard were added.

We are doomed with this front office, admitting that it is not easy to make trades. Got to be creative and we haven't seen creativeness from them.

At the start of the 4th quarter in the game versus the Pistons our lineup was:

Suggs, Wendell, Paolo and FRANZ & TDS  !!!!! 

I instantly really liked it !!!!!  Too bad that Jalen got injured relatively early in that quarter and had to exit the game. KCP replaced him. 

Looking forward to see more of TDS with our best players....in the game and especially in the 4th Q.

The Rockets weren't trading the pick. They had Amen ranked higher than Scoot. They were really high on the kid.

Why are you disappointed that a fake trade you invented didn't happen?

No fake trade, maybe comments.

Not a done deal unless we know it was discussed and rejected......like any potential trade. Don't the Magic need the 4th star player?  Better do something before one of our big 3's start his rambling.
