I love your pessimism
I love the Colin Sexton idea but matching salaries will be hard. Here is a name no one is considering. DONTE DIVINCENZO he signed a new deal with the Knicks was a stud last year but the trade to the Timberwolves has not worked out for him or the wolves. If he could get back on track with a change of scenery, he might be cheap to get and fit our PG needs. 44% FG 40% 3pt good at rebounds and assists. Average 15 pts last year. He is Still young at 27 years old. Played along a superstar in Brunson and others on the Knicks. Have him at PG and Suggs at the two. We don't take touches away from P5 and Franz, a 3 young guys can continue to be them with a very capable table setter. This allows AB to continue to grow as the back up. Thoughts?
Merry Christmas
NBA numbers are down because to be able to see the games you have to subscribe to an app which cost around $200 a year. Back in the days we used to be able to see the games on our local TV channels. Gone are those days.. 😔
Im an Anfernee simons guy if he would buy into defense… but this teams chemistry is elite
Philip… this is a bad NBA. Everyone is chucking 3’s like if they are Golden state from 2018. Or if they Steph Curry or Klay Thompson. Not many teams have the personnel to chuck up 45 3’s.I’ve watched the nba since high school, I’m 40, it’s a water down lazy chucking 3’s league. No one influences my decisions brudda. My eyes see a bad game. Hardly any big men playing down in the post. It’s a lazy league just like everything else. Lazy! Analytics have hurt the Nba. Have made it more offensive but ratings are down across the board. No more fundamentals just weak athletics. One of the reasons i love the magic is because we play hard and gritty and have dawgs that think like that. I’m in a perfect spot living in Orlando/Kissimmee, my team is the team that okays the way i love to play.
We NEED COBY WHITE!!! TELL ORLANDO TO GET THE JOB DONE. THEY DONT NEED HIM IN CHICAGO
I don't celebrate Christmas for many reasons one of this reasons is because the only son of the Almighty eternal GOD creator (יהוה) (YHWH) YAHWEH JEHOVAH his son Jesus birth never occurred on December 25 was pagans celebrations the Romans celebrated centuries a day like today on December 25, the Chatolic church full of lies false doctrines and idolatry since Constantine and Platon days knows that, History channel and History channel sisters channels already made a long documentary about it about what the JEHOVAH Witnesses know for long time that Jesus the Messiah birth never occurred on December 25 was pagans celebrations the Romans celebrated centuries ago on December 25 about their idols Idolatry about their sun god
Believe me I understand what you said about Magic players injuries my late father was a sports doctor and he said exactly what you said specifically about starts players who played long minutes.
You are a very smart person.
The magic do not need a point guard they play point guard by committing we always have three people on the court can bring the ball down they just need to figure out who's taking the ball out and who's going to bring the ball up Court that's it y'all really trying to fix something that isn't broken
Magic had a good point guard markelle fultz for their system but he lost his job because he kept def😊erring to give the ball to Pablo and franz so the magic cut him
Idk if it would work but I honestly think we should call the nets for Cam Thomas. Depending on the price he could be the perfect scorer off the bench we need he’s very cheap money wise they would probably only want draft capital issue is it’s his last year I think it would be a decent test on if we could handle a pure scorer on the roster at all.
Spurs fan here. Let's get a 3 way trade going. Magic get Anfernee Simons, Spurs get Jonathan Isaac, Portland gets a mix of young players and salary match (from spurs), and picks from both teams. Win win for everyone. Magic need scoring but Portland doesn't want the Isaac contrac. Spurs need rim protection behind Wemby. Portland gets young players and picks.
