Game Theory Podcast Assesses Magic Offseason



I’m not sure if the timestamp get linked on reddit, but it starts around 37:24.

Sam Vecenie has been complimentary of our key players in general, but I thought this was an encouraging perspective on our offseason from one of the better basketball media personalities in my opinion.

The key points:

  • they talk about how the Franz extension is an absolute no brainer

  • they talk about how savvy the JI extension was and how in the absolute worst case it is a immediate consolidation trade chip (which is also how I feel we should be looking at the Harris and Bitadze deals)

  • they talk about the (hopefully) upcoming Suggs extension and what that could look like

I realize a lot of this is going to be preaching to the choir for those that follow the team closely, but it’s great to hear praise and optimism for this team from a relatively prominent figure in NBA discourse. This should also (hopefully) help talk some of the naysayers down from the ledge.

    What’s the TL;DR on their view of Suggs’ contract? I hoping it’s 25m per or so

    Sam actually defended Franz’s contract on twitter from that YouTuber who made a video on why Franz has the worst contract in history
