Rebuilding the Orlando Magic into a Dynasty
all right all right all right so it is officially time to rebuild the Orlando Magic they lost in the first round 4-1 to the Celtics which was honestly solid enough that they even stole a game this team went through a lot this season with the injuries to Paulo and Fron for multiple weeks at a time suggs got ruled out for the rest of the season a few months ago and they gave KCP three years and $60 million and he just wasn’t really that good at all but this team does have a lot of promise a lot of hope for the future they had one of the best defense in the league this year and last year and in this video I can almost guarantee that Paulo and Fron will probably be here damn near the entire time if not just the entire time i love the defensive identity they have so we just got to refine the offense a bit more and more they do have two first round picks this year neither in the lottery though all right we have started off the video with a big big body trade now let me tell you this recording right now is 11 minutes long i’ve been sitting here thinking mocking you know I don’t go into this with no thought now let me preface actually with something so low key a player who’s been mocked a lot to the Magic as far as I’ve seen that they kind of want is Anthony Simons i think he’s from this area too like Orlando or somewhere around here i think he’d be a good fit for this team honestly and I was about to go trade for him he’s on one year 27 million that’s not terrible especially cuz it’s a one-year but then I was evaluating this team’s contracts we got Paulo and this is the big one paulo is about to expire so we’re have to resign him after the season this adds on to the fact that Fron is already on a max and Suggs although this is a nice descending contract it is still 30 plus 25 plus million so I decided you know what let’s just quadruple down let’s bring in LaMelo Ball ASAP because we had the nasty contracts we could trade for LaMelo how I did this we traded Isaac KCP Cole Anthony Wendell Carter Jr and two future first round picks i actually didn’t trade any current ones now I was thinking maybe you know we make some trades to free up cap space for this year but I wasn’t sure how much we could possibly free up since we’re already paying two dudes 35 plus mil and I don’t want to get rid of Anthony Black i’m probably going to decline Mo Vagna’s team option and bring him back i signed this dude in a lot of rebuilds but we’re definitely keeping him around here especially since his brother’s here and he’s actually good in this game both of them and yeah so welcome to the team LaMelo Ball oh yeah my other plan was going to be to trade for Anthony Simons so hear me out i was going to trade for Simons right he probably wasn’t going to accept nearly as much money in the next off seasonason but then I could have also went and signed impending free agent Trey Young the problem is though is like I just said I’m about to sign Paulo to a contract extension that goes into that season so it would have got kind of ugly it wouldn’t have been possible basically unless we traded Jaylen Sug so I kind of want to keep around at least for now as much as I can and even not even then like he’s a valuable contract to trade as well shoot we could probably trade him in some picks for Trey Young but I don’t need him no more all right well I kept both of our picks in the first round i could trade Gary Harris for a future first round pick right now since he makes $8 million but I’ll trade him if I need the money in this free agency but I might hold on to him until next season because an $8 million salary almost could be valuable if we didn’t make another trade in the mid-season all right it’s time for the draft it was crazy it’s almost time for the actual uh the draft lottery in real life it’s only like less than 10 days away i think I’m ready for some crazy stuff to happen with our first pick is pretty foolproof i’m going to draft Assad Newell dude I draft a lot but also say his name wrong every time we are actually going to trade our next pick in Gary Harris to the Lakers for Rui Hachimura in their future first round pick they just offered me this i mean there’s some okay offers out here but this is far and away to me the best one especially for this team for a team that has some offensive issues Ruie is going to unmuck up the offense especially off the bench so yeah welcome to the team and this is also the exact scenario i was talking about with Gary Harris he uh his little little bit of money he has on his contract helps us out to get a way better player and the reason why we could trade for 11 million more is because we have a bunch of team options right now that aren’t picked up like Mo Vagner Anthony Black Cory Joseph so we actually have some cap space but just for this moment this dude Rocky Safoski or whatever the hell his name is number one ranked and everything right now so I’m going to go ahead and take him with our second round pick and with the last one we’ll go with Mark Sears cuz he’s always available and he always ends up pretty decent so with our team options obviously we’re picking up Paulo Anthony Black like I said I am going to decline Mo Vagner and we’re just going to resign him shout out to Cory Joseph probably won’t resign him maybe I will though honestly on some veteran stuff uh Caleb Houston we could probably get you for less and I guess Jed Howard’s valued highly so we’ll pick him back up all right well salute to Corey Joseph and Caleb Houston we have signed some free agents and they’re both gone shout out to Paulo Fron LaMelo Suggs and Anthony Black all getting better in the offseason we resigned Mo Vagner on a three-year minimum contract i think I even frontloaded it like a real heathen we got Nquille Alexander Walker can obviously space the floor and he’s a really good defender and he knows what Shay wants to do on the court and then we also got Malik Beasley foolproof signing this team needs guys who can kind of just go out there and just chuck threes a little bit more often than not we’re able to get him and Nquille both on the MLE and then sign Mo Vagner to the minimum and then that all worked out not the best sign of Dilva only went up one overall in his second season but he is 24 and yeah the rest is the rest we didn’t sign anybody else this is a rotation we’re going to start with lamelo Fron and Paulo all getting 35 minutes a game then you got Suggs and Goa rounding out the starting five with Anthony Black Ruie Malik Beasley Nquille and Mo Vagner leading the bench i know we have some other good bench players as well maybe like Howard or Dilva but for now we’re going to see what the veterans can do that we literally just signed damn I forgot to resign Paulo oh I forgot to do it in the off season d well they let me resign Anthony Black which is kind of random but uh I could let you prove that if you deserve this contract but we’re going to just do it i’m going to have to resign Paulo in free agency but that’s okay since we already have LaMelo anyways season begins and we have okay we just lost two games but we hadn’t lost a game for like the first 10 or 12 we are the best team in the league far and away right now or at least best in the east i mean look at this we just beat Boston and OKC back to back hollowo and LaMelo cooking the the Thunder we have kept our we have kept our identity as the second best defensive team in the league after the Spurs but we are better offense than them although we are eighth in offense i mean the Nuggets are number one but we’re just so much of a better defensive team that we are currently number one in the conference number one in the league in in overall wins losses so much so I I really and this is the thing with this team is they’re all so young we don’t have to rush anything even the role players I signed they aren’t too old i don’t think we have a we don’t have a 30-year-old on the roster lamelo and Po leading the way fron’s right behind him he’s averaging 16 five and four his game combined with LaMelo’s Fran specifically would be really good because he can play really well off the ball like cutting and stuff according to the advanced stats the lowest contributor on the team is Goa in the rotation but I’m obviously not I’m not meticulous about it right now or nothing we’re just going to keep letting it rock plus he might be playing really good defense who knows i mean he’s a Yeah he’s averaging a steal and a block and a half per game although his interior defense is a 66 so that’s not really that good but his block is a 92 and his rebounding is good ruy actually wants to resign um I’ll I’ll do it honestly i mean at this point if this core is playing this well yeah welcome back jet Howard also wants to resign now this will accept his last year team option but also give him 8 million a year after that i mean he must get really good or something if he wants this much and like I said we’re already kind of in a salary bad spot regardless so yeah welcome back I guess oh he declined oh he doesn’t really matter if he’s mad at me he doesn’t play anyways um here you go speaking of players getting mad who don’t play i remember I met Andis Caner like a week before if anybody was around in like 2019 just watching basketball there was a game where he subbed in and he wasn’t expected to and he kissed the Knicks logo and his cancer really thought he was like LeBron of New York it was crazy and as a kid it was fun to watch like like the the antic i always said this cuz as a we have no other contract extensions this is a trade the line we’re I don’t think we’re going to do anything i mean we’re about three to 10 games better than almost everybody else in the conference we’re just going to let it rock and see what happens but um as a kid if y’all pro y’all know my lord by now that I was running like a Knicks page and everything for like 5 years on Instagram before YouTube started working but the f most fun part about it like even in the early days when like Melo and Phil were beefing was just that the community and like the drama it was like a real life crackhead drama TV show jokic won MVP Flag won rookie of the year harden won six man of the year with the Pacers booker won clutch player of the year and Jamal Mosley coach of the year 62 wins we did it and I think it just said we were one game better than the Spurs uh we did not have any AllNBA players which usually is a good sign but we are first in the conference against Chicago chicago all right i mean I guess they also lost Giddy and Giddy’s usually pretty good in this game i don’t think our rotation needs any changes really they don’t Yeah see they want to give Paulo like two more minutes they also want to start Mo Vagner i never really looked at this but honestly I’m going to leave most of the stuff the same i took two minutes from Goa and gave him to Paulo that was it and they’re both starters anyways we won the hell out the first game i don’t even know why I simcasted it probably going to win every game in the series right uh yeah 40 see you Chicago second round playing New York i trust our team defensively now go against cat is kind of nasty but against any team if we really needed to though we could run a small ball lineup honestly we could put in Ruie and put Paulo at the center I don’t give a damn the Knicks are crazy good in in the game though virtually so but look at this a late fourth quarter cut i think we got Oh god we might not have it does Jaylen Brunson have the ball oh god they have the ball with 28 seconds to go you know what i’m going to just see if they make Oh my goodness they made a three marjan made a three marjan Bochamp whatever the hell his name is why the hell is he even in the game with zero minutes someone fouled out and he subbed in and hit a three what a guy jaylen Brunson and Cat fouled out all right well we’re going to jump in screw it 23 seconds to go let’s see if we can hit a shot we’re about to have a nasty lineup in i already know as long as Paulo’s in there though actually I guess is it going to be him or LaMelo i didn’t even think about this whatever either way LaMelo is actually guarded by Bridges what’s his name brunson being fouled out is actually detrimental to us right now and Ball is trying to get to it he’s going to dribble it back out and yeah they have Khalil wear on how the hell did they get him all right well 8 seconds to go lamelo is dribbling the air out the ball he’s going to get to the rim on male and he makes the layup knicks have no timeouts lamelo ball 5 seconds to go though there’s a lot of time to bring the ball up the court male’s going to stop it oh my goodness the set shot at half if he would have made that I know we seen Steph Curry make that shot on this channel but if he would have made that I would have been sick well very very good first jumping impression for LaMelo Ball and we are going to win the second game by 23 points hollow with 37 on 13 for 15 shooting brunson with 33 as well next game we win again by one i I just sim through it i I you know LaMelo fouled out of this game in 26 minutes and we still won by like by like by like by like by like by like by like by like by like by like by this and we are going to win another game and so far we have not lost a game in the playoffs but it is time to play Boston there actually feel like every time I see them they usually are not starting Drew anymore they usually get a replacement but as Drew falls off a bit after year one hey forget him though they’re already 11 and five by Paulo we win game one he outplays Tatum we get a rematch of last year’s matchup except now we got a star point guard and we got our team healthy drew was actually out for one of the two of the games against the Celtics in real life though as we’re actually going to lose game two our first loss all right we are down by one with 204 to go big game here obviously and as you can see they’re telling me to start Mo Vagner but I’m not switching nothing at this point obviously we’re you know also too like we can’t underestimate the concept of having a rebounder in the starting a bit better of a rebounder at least more physical maybe lamelo back out paulo’s going to shoot the three quickly and make it okay Paulo you know what’s funny apollo and Fron both have the same thing that that frightens me with the Knicks sometimes with like OG or male is that like they have like a bit more clunky jump shots where it’s like I’m kind of scared like for them to pull up in certain scenarios but nonetheless anyways oh my goodness look at France clamping up Jason Tatum for the charging foul and this is the entire playoffs i have yet to change a matchup and honestly I’m not I don’t really feel compelled to we got big body players at every position only thing I could see is if you know there was an elite player at the one I Oh my goodness lamelo speaking of elite player at the one and Drew Holiday is not in the game right now they got Pritchard out here but yeah speaking of elite players at the one uh there goes LaMelo but I would switch Suggs on to like if we play I don’t know uh Steph Curry anyways Fron’s guarding up on Jaylen Brown now they switch the uh the lineup so he’s at the three and he’s going to spin and lose go to Oh he gets the rebound though jaylen Brown back up he misses but he gets fouled that’s a great board can’t even lie brown at the line the first one is good and the second one I by the way I always hate Jaylen Brown’s free throw in 2K whenever I use the Celtics or anything he has such like a slow but there’s no like trigger point of like when it’s about to release it’s kind of like Chuck Hayes it’s kind of crazy to compare him to but whatever anyways LaMelo pull up for three he misses that one it’s a bad LaMelo shot we’re going to have to live with that I guess and Tatum behind the back to the rim oh my goodness no contest the whole way damn near the behind the back lost Jaylen Suggs and then nobody picked up in time and that was all in a quick fast break scenario well just like that the game is tied again lamelo’s going to take it to him again lamelo he gets Wow a late foul on Pritchard as Porzingis got the weak side block we just got bailed out as LaMelo’s going to miss one ball don’t lie i guess we get one though pass up Derek White with a lot of room for three that is good that is a very Derek White shot with 53 seconds to go they take the two-point lead we can either go up 2-1 or down 2-1 right here right now game is on the line lamelo against Pritchard by the way like you really got to get to it you got Payton Pritchard on you he’s going to shoot another three and he misses another three crackhead LaMelo Ball if he don’t just get to the rim anyways Pritchard’s trying to get to the rim now he’s stuck in the paint he passed it back out to Brown jaylen against Fron jaylen off the screen from Porzingis goes baseline oh he gets some room he’s going to try and hit a little step through nope back out to White white four seconds white in the post white over the screen white with some room from three and that is off rebound by Paulo no timeouts actually and down by two this is it paulo with the ball in his hands he’s going to give it to LaMelo lamelo 6 seconds they’re setting this whole elaborate play never mind just a screen by Paulo lamelo another three lamelo please we need one and there it is 2 seconds lamelo ball we going to live by the three and die by it I guess and today we live.2 seconds they can’t get a shot off 2k is not smart enough to run a lot play and it wouldn’t matter maybe anyways pass in it doesn’t matter pritchard half court it’s off and final score this magic win respect to Anthony Black but if he was started the one this would not have went like that or I guess Sug would have been taking these shots but thank god he isn’t 26 actually S has some pretty clutch moments in his career and college career 26 from Paulo 25 and 11 from LaMelo and I mean it was just a just a battle they played well we played well all right 2-1 lead in the conference finals and we are going to go up 31 paulo with a career-high 18 boards is what the social damn and and Tatum had won his matchup eight for 23 from Tatum as well can we finish this off we are going to a 9-point win and we are going to the finals against Minnesota paulo 2811 and six on one steel 57% from the field 75 from the free throw line and 45 from three and Ant Edwards was cooking in the Western Conference and he beat San Antonio who I want to say was the only other 60- win team yeah I didn’t know if the Wolves had 60 wins either but we are going to play against the typical Wolves that are always mad good in 2K with Rob Dillingham Ant Edwards Jaden McDaniels Julius Randle and Nas Reed starting right now i believe I just saw they still have Go Bear though i mean they have to yeah there he is and they got Russell Westbrook that was their one free agent signing they resigned Nas Reed and they got Russell Westbrook and they got Moses Moody oh they traded for him any other big trades this year i I really just want to see the normal ones though mayo quickly for Norman Powell back to the Raptors they traded Devenzo for him i mean I actually don’t know if I like that trade for him because they kind of needed Demon Senzo’s playing the one for him and now they don’t have a Oh wait they have Westbrook that’s why okay yeah yeah all right game one in Orlando are we about to get suned are we we playing the week east all year and we we not ready for the West oh boy i don’t know we are going to lose it by 10 points game one moses Moody with 21 okay you know what i’m not panicking cuz that’s a crazy game nquille though actually their former guy that’s who they that’s why they had to get Moody cuz Nquille replaced him or took it whatever left actually told me to get more minutes in Nil right now but I’m not going to panic though we’re going to keep it pushing same team that’s lost like one game this whole playoffs come on there we go there we go we literally have lost now two games right 38 from Paulo by the way on barely any misses four misses paulo is probably like my favorite 2K archetype type player in a sim simulation cuz he just gets to the rim gets to a bucket no strings attached and yeah so second loss of the of the thing they’re actually telling me to not switch the lineup now so they they’ve come along they’ve come around to my my rotational stuff and we are going to win this by seven points 25 from Paulo and by the way Ant obviously is guarded by what’s his name by uh and is Russ starting yeah they’ve start they’re starting Russ now but Ant is obviously guarded by Suggs right now so there is that to consider as well and Suggs is our best defender perimeter wise for sure and wow defense might win a championship 36 though from Paulo we can’t act like the offense ain’t there malik Beasley snaking it up shout out to Malik Beasley by the way what a funny guy in the playoffs man in real life and uh 3 minutes to go close game you know I’m going to jump in now this could be the last two minutes of the season or it could be a detrimental last two minutes where we you know blow the series who knows it’s only I mean it’s 3-1 but you never know it’s basketball you just saw what almost happened to the Warriors in real life oh by the way too I meant to say this earlier but shout out to all the Magic fans uh you know polluting my comments talking about you forgot about the Magic the only reason this video is taken a week to do is because there was three elimination games last Tuesday so I did two videos on that day and then I don’t think either team got eliminated honestly cuz the Pistons won and I think it was the Rockets i could be wrong though on that day specifically and Ant is going to shoot a fall away three and misses it bronze is tired as hell go ahead and pass that ball off then yeah there you go lamelo against Russell Westbrook can Russell hold LaMelo lamelo to the rim layup no and one fifth foul on Westbrook by the way honestly keep him in matter of fact though no n actually we want Rob Dillingham in the game that’s food there you go rob Dillingham can’t guard LaMelo all right edwards against Suggs he’s going to step it back back to the left he’s trying to get around him okay nice little behind the back move he’s not getting any momentum though no room back out to Randle randall against Paulo back out to Westbrook westbrook does he have a three in him he’s going to take the ball though he’s going to get the screen from Nas Reed russell Westbrook the deep mid-range shot and that is good russell Westbrook bails out the possession 120 to go and LaMelo again to the rim layup again lamelo Ball is torturing defenders it being Russ and Nazri is not getting a damn block so three-point lead 115 to go and Ant Edwards to the rim behind the back step back he’s going to go to a between the legs to the left side that was a beautiful move he got him off balance and went to the left with it got around him easy money for the dunk can’t even hate one minute to go i would have been hate if it was a foul though 1 minute to go up by one lamelo to the basket again he’s going to keep going he’s just going to keep going he misses as he gets the board back out Goa goa with two on him right now someone’s got to be open it’s Jaylen Suggs top of the key he missed it at the cash nasty shot pass up to Clark clark to the corner anthony Edwards falls away it’s off rebound by France 36 seconds to go we have the lead pass up to Paulo paulo against Randall he’s trying to get to the rim he’s going to take some BS he misses it but he dunks it back on Randall paulo Bonero Bonettto with the dunk back on Julius Randle on his own put back off his own miss he just went he just rose up on that old man oh my goodness now go to the photo moments oh yeah look at this paulo goes up on Julius with a nasty nasty nasty shot attempt but Julius was a victim i don’t even want There’s no way good to finish that sentence anyways three-point lead 29 give it to Give it to Russ give it to Russ russell Westbrook huge shot right here incoming all right come on suggs on Edwards they take a time oh my goodness i haven’t seen the two timeout 2K cheese in a little while that’s crazy they took the double timeout and waste their last one especially when you potentially could go miss this shot and go down what five that is a huge timeout to waste why is Jaylen Clark in the game i don’t know mcdaniels must have fouled out yeah probably pass in to Edwards edwards he gets some room he goes back left he’s trying to go to the rim actually steps it back he pass it down to Clark clark layup okay okay that’s not a bad shot granted you don’t have a timeout and we’re going to make Suggs shoot the free throws i don’t know if I agree with this should have probably given LaMelo but all right Suggs the first one is good all right Suggs the second one at the line it is off rebound by Nas Reed clark with the ball what will they do will they take another two or they take a three and try and put us in the dirt oh my goodness fron picked him up ant pulls up and he misses anthony Edwards with the blunder anthony Edwards misses the gamewinning shot or game tying shot and Fron’s at the line the first is good will the Wolves have another chance no they will not down by four unless we foul this game should be over with russell Westbrook can he draw one we’re going to leave Randall open for the three that is good okay wait actually they do still have a a shot if they foul fast enough i mean they have more than enough of a shot with like a halfcourt shot not to say shot so many times all right the pass is in LaMelo they’re going to foul him and that’s Yeah that’s Westbrook’s foul out which probably is better i might trust Rob Dillingham more on a half court shot lamelo hits the first and regardless they’re going to have to take a full court so it’ be very Oh my goodness but wait Randall up to Edwards edwards for the three it is off and we have won the championship that was not a strategic miss cuz there was way too much time for that to be a good miss and oh my goodness we damn near just lost the game but the Orlando Magic are your 2026 champions now someone can fact check this i don’t know if I’ve won the championship first year in damn near any of these i always want to I was gear the team up crazy but funnily enough this was just one trade or what one and a half I think with Ruie yeah I mean I guess two trades with Ruie and then just the resigning of Mo Vagner Nquille and and uh who uh what’s his name malik Beasley playing the exact same center rotation but without Wendell and we win the championship orlando Magic you’re these are the the best team i I just felt like you know we had to optimize for real no I’m not going to lie though i didn’t think we were going to win the ring or be this good year one that’s why I was trying to get Simons and just kind of ease it in for a year but this is a welcome surprise though orlando Magic your champions paulo obviously I mean maybe LaMelo could have won it but Paulo is the finals MVP he won the Eastern Conference MVP as well maybe we can get him a regular season one who knows probably not but he does stuff the statute enough where it could be possible 24 from LaMelo 23 from Fron and 2210 and five from Paulo all shot decently enough suggs didn’t though but that’s all right matter of fact let me go see yeah Edwards 8 for 24 little Kobe tribute and that’s all due to Jaylen Suggs so we’ll take you know we’ll take the trade-off there i’d rather aunt struggle than Suggs play like damn Michael Jordan i mean maybe I would like that actually paulo with 297 and four 54 from the field 79 from the free throw and 33 from three in this series and uh funny enough the playoff stats are glitch for a few players but they’re not for the main four at least so here you go i mean you can see Paulo in the playoffs a 26-9 lamelo averaged 20 and seven bronze averaged 18 six and four and Suggs with 14 obviously the glitches that a lot of these guys it says they have a lot of games played for some reason let me see the finals actually yeah we actually crazily enough we didn’t really shoot well look Anthony Black 39% 35 from Sug 39 from Beasley but 54 from Paulo and 51 from Fron is enough plus the fact that obviously I mean we had to be the best defensive team right yeah we were the best defensive team by a little bit over the Knicks who we beat and we’re also the second best offensive team just to OKC who lost in the first round at Denver so that’s also kind of a skewed sample size which this is actually a preview of the next round in real life so hey shout out to Joic 4422 and 14 but he lost the Spurs well year one ring obviously we’re going to try and you know get better but also though ideally would probably just be to run back the same exact rotation no one’s going to get worse I don’t think so it might be best that you what team has the luxury to run back the same rotation multiple years in a row after after winning a championship that usually doesn’t happen usually a player wants to go like Bruce Brown with the Nuggets for example right you know it’s funny i actually did want to sign Chris Paul but I totally forgot like when I was starting this my one of my main thoughts was “Oh I want to get Chris Paul.” Oh you know what though that was when I was thinking about trading for Simons i was like I need to get a facilitator like off the bench but Giraffe lottery I don’t think I traded for no picks right no thunder get the first pick on some Do I hate real quick i might hate i’m going to go hate this will be my video right here because we’re we I played this ethically i’m not going to let the Thunder take the Jazz pick and I’m not even going to let the Knicks take the Wizards pick you know what’s funny though the Thunder genuinely do have both of these picks i’m pretty sure if there’s another This is a crazy story for the lottery in 9 days from now so the Sixers pick is top six protected I want to say but they’re currently at five so if they fall the seven or anything lower their pick goes to the Thunder this year in real life i’m not talking this hypothetic but I would assume it’s probably unprotected next year or something if that’s the case so uh yeah they genuinely own all these picks which is wild and I’m pretty sure that the Knicks traded this Wizards pick to the Timber Rules for CAT if I’m not mistaken maybe it was like a Pistons pick or something i don’t know but after that I think everything else is legit but yeah I don’t think actually no I did keep our first round pick it’s just 30th now i didn’t think we were going to be that good i’m going to show you just how ethically I’m playing this we could trade Assa Newwell who was a 16th pick last year plus a 30th pick plus our first next year for the fourth pick in the draft which I think is worthwhile but you know what not going to do it we we not moving like the these these teams you know these heathen we just playing real hoop we already got our rank too so it’s not like I’m really chasing nothing all right well I scouted a random bunch of people josiah Mosley isn’t our coach names Mosley it’s spelled different but I think it is right i’m forgetting his first name right now jamal jamal Mosley yeah maybe this is his son who knows probably not but 72 overall and he has all-star potential i think he’s like the only uh Here goes one more but he’s like the only player left with all-star potential 72 overall i’m going to take him josiah Mo Mosley welcome to the Magic matter of fact we had a pick like three picks later and we’re going to draft the other dude with allar potential King Fleming the last pick in the second round we’re going to draft Noah Kufus matter of fact will someone offer me some for this you know I can do these two seconds right here for two seconds from We’ll do we’ll do the Spur actually they’re good i’ll go with the Pistons it really doesn’t matter anyways I just didn’t want it the last pick in the draft i think we’re going to be kind of tight on roster spots but we’ll keep these two dudes they actually want me to decline tristan Dilva Mark Sears all of them but I’m going to accept them all for now obviously we’re going to try and bring back Paulo what do you mean try we’re bringing back Paulo i’m going to attempt to frontload his contract rather than give him anything we’ll do Yeah we’ll max it screw it out this is the max I guess so there you go and he’ll accept this it’s frontloaded instead of this jet you can see how much more money we saved this is 5 years and only 8 million more i wouldn’t have offered him first day but the Jazz did so whatever and I don’t feel that bad cuz I couldn’t have signed my guy Simons anyways he wants way too much money granted though I really don’t want to sign anybody might sign Mitchell Robinson for some assurance if we need to oh Nil’s a free agent i didn’t even realize oh my god i got to go get him back all right I got back Nquille on a four-year front-loaded deal for like three mil a year he gonna be around for a while so we retain our actual rotation i’m not even going to sign anybody else in this period and let’s just see we have 17 players on the roster right now so I’m probably just going to see who does or doesn’t get better in a few moments at the player progression and then trade from there oh for now though I’ll resign my guy Goa you know our starting center championship center uh still going to steal money from him though and I don’t think I’m going to sign anybody else i think I’m just going to leave it at that the Apollo and LaMelo both get a little bit better anthony Black goes up by two suggs up by one jed Howard up a few so this is a moment of truth because damn Rocky’s Zaflowski or whatever the hell went up by six overall this might be our future center or center of the future whatever i think for the two roster spots I’m going to trade D Silva and Mark Sears because they both just kind of Okay we have made a bit of a not an overpay actually i won’t even say that a bit just a big trade off the whim randomly right i wouldn’t say big trade but like a very interesting one so I thought about it i was like “Okay we should just do a three for one to bring our roster to 15 slots but then get rid of two players rather than getting picks i don’t want picks right now.” I was like “You know what what if we do a three for one?” It just came to my mind and we stumbled upon it going through the tradeinder but it he wasn’t in the trade finder i ended up amending some stuff we have traded for Matas Buzzellis from the Bull we have traded Jet Howard Tristan Dilva and Mark Sears for Matas Buzzelli i like the way this dude’s game is i feel like he would fit this team really well and I don’t know if as of right now there was a a a route where specific well I just said we wanted to trade to Silva and Mark Sears now ideally I would have traded those two and uh one of these rookies we just drafted i kind of wanted to keep Howard he was cool but instead though we got as our like future dude that’s going to enter the rotation off the bench is Montage he’s already at 83 and he’s a power forward so if I move him to small forward he’s only going to get better he went up by three overalls just 3 seconds ago so yeah we got him now and I’m not going to force him in the rotation but I’m going to give him a few minutes into the bench and I only say that because our rotation worked so good last year i don’t want to mess it up i know it might seem like a bit of overkill but we are going to give Mas just 8 minutes at the end of the bench it kind of fits in with everybody else still getting a pretty similar amount of minutes as they were last year and still 35 each to LaMelo Suggs and Paulo i mean LaMelo Fron and what am I talking about this year we started off a bit less convincingly but we’re still actually currently number one oh well I guess number two now but you know jumping up and around from that that seed the one player who’s playing much worse so far is Ruie so this is the direct player that we could have replaced by Mataz if I wanted to just make the move now this is what I decided to do i moved Ruie down to 6 minutes gave Mataz 12 and then the rest is basically the same i kind of debied up some minutes elsewhere as well but I mean we’re still first so at the deadline we’re 37 and 16 a few games in front of the Pistons and the Knicks we are the best team in the league again this year so far once again Paulo LaMelo and obviously Fran’s leading the way and yeah I think Mata’s taking Ruy’s spot is still justified because he’s shooting better overall from the field this was like the perfect trade too cuz what if we ran into this and like this problem with Ruie and we didn’t have a backup i mean I guess we could have played Jet Howard so this is a new rotation i’ve decided to just remove Ruie entirely we’re going to let him just steal money from us and sit on the bench and mentor or whatever matter of fact speaking of mentoring I went ahead and assigned some actually as you can see by a few of them and I rarely ever do that so it’s really me showing love and affection to the Orlando Magic we’re actually losing a lot of games right now but whatever luca Don wins MVP with the Blazers dear Fox sixman of the year and Jamal Mosley coach of the year 59 wins good enough to get the coach of the year lamelo just barely made the AllNBA third team we’ll take it yeah I don’t know if I’m getting Apollo an MVP if you can’t make the AllNBA team though to be fair all right first round playing Kai Jones in the Miami Heat they do have Shaden Sharp now though i’ll give him that we are going to Okay 3-1 3-2 okay uh we lost two games in the fir you know what no no I’m not letting it slide what was going on mo Vagner 41 damn just both centers were just mediocre if we did lose this year that’s the obvious place to be upgraded is the center i mean I’ve kind of just been letting it slide because we’ve been so good everywhere else and because we won a championship but actually Goa added he did pretty well this year mo was pretty good all right second round playing the Knicks with Kevin Durant um the obvious is that they must have traded OG for him they traded OG and a second round pick for KD and KD was on the Lakers by the way and KD is not retiring so he’s going to be here for at least two more years or at least one more year this is going to be an Eastern Conference rival and they have Payton Watson at the three now so they don’t lose a ton defensively but a little bit offensively at that position as we are going to win game one by five but it’s 143 to 148 what the hell was up with this game paulo with 38 i don’t know if anybody could have played bad if both team Okay Suggs did and Brunson was 9 for 23 that’s not that bad though bridges had 34 kd only had 19 but like everybody was cooking well that’s how we win game one game two okay we’ve got a little bit of control in it but not really uh you know what though we’re playing good in the clutch shout out to Jaylen Brunson we’re still in his powers 32 from Paulo 39 from KD in the loss they’re going to take the next game by 10 brunson with 36 which by the way yeah that’s another I have not changed that matchup and oh my goodness we might need to but you know what i’m not going to panic we’re just going to keep it pushing brunson with 40 okay fine i’m going to put Suggs at the one i’m not even going to do anything else i’m just going to do that didn’t even do the match ups we won by 20 brunson he still played good so it doesn’t matter but whatever let’s just Let’s just hope that keeps working one more game and we are going to get that one more game 37 point win brunson was nine for 27 in this game so Suggs a much better job even though he’s doing like nothing i had 10 assist actually good job filling out i mean he is a point guard technically i think he’s still more of a two but he’s a good ball handler though all right we’re playing the Cavs the Cavs shout out to I just read on my phone that they have a lot of injuries for game two which is wild they said Mobly and DeAndre Hunter might not play in game two against the Pacers which is wild a big narrative against the Pacers that they keep playing injured teams and well it might continue and it’s sad cuz the Pacers are I mean they won the first game pretty legitimately even though Garland was out though to be fair but yeah game two and obviously the matches are good cuz we got Suggs guarding Donovan Mitchell and I don’t know how the Cavs did in the regular season but shoot hey playoffs here we go game one win 42-10 from LaMelo and yeah they were oh okay they were wait we tied oh snap okay they were pretty good they’re pretty good this is not going to be a walk through the park and yeah they’re definitely running through the park on this one they are going to win the next game by nine points 25 and 11 from Garland 33 and seven from LaMelo I feel like we’ve been seeing LaMelo play better than Paulo in this playoff specifically but watch Paulo probably cooked in this game that’s why we won huh Paulo 326 and 9 LaMelo 25 and 10 this is against Evan Moley for Paulo too which is a hell of a matchup oh My goodness the next game we win by 50 we are up 3-1 can we finish it off we do 10-point win the Magic we are just an unflapable team i’ve heard Oldhead say that saying before i hope it is right i think the Warriors won but they gave Jokic the conference MVP they did and the Warriors with 82 overall Jimmy Pompky Kuminga Nick Richards and Curry they were the fifth seed they have Dvenenzo back oh yeah right they traded for him for Moody they also have Ubé back and then Colobby Jones and Kareem Lopez and Oh that’s Keon Johnson thought it was Kellen um this should be a walk through the park but they’re in the finals so yeah it’s not of course it’s not oh wait didn’t I say I would switch sug if we ever played him i think we got this one hold on okay we win by one 36 from Paulo my goodness and no one else showed up curry Curry and Deven Shenzo actually were trying to carry the way screw it we’re just going to keep it we’re not even going to switch none we’re just going to keep going game two we win by what is this 78 28 from France fron doesn’t always have the biggest games i feel like he’s definitely taken that you know back seat to LaMelo and Paulo but it doesn’t matter though as long as we keep winning as we’re not going to win this game we lose by two at the end and we nearly came back just get one more game in one more game in 130 to 98 this is crazy this is actually wild the Orlando Magic hey Magic fans was it worth it was the week worth it like damn cuz y’all are about to be 2026 and 2027 NBA i don’t even I’m just so happy for this team i jumped in for no reason oh yeah come on LaMelo i’m about to take that lamelo half court shot ah ah no 8c violation lamelo half court shot bang my bad lamelo season over for them for us for everybody cuz we are the champions the Orlando Magic with the same starting lineup with Goa Mo Vagner real hoopers 59 wins just enough kelly Ubé i’m sorry it’s all right man maybe next year or the next in the next year and the next year and we got a young improving matage now off the bench who has also solidified that’s another great story line for the season and Jaylen Suggs is like 53 right now for some reason cuz they always do this but now we got another young player come off the bench over Ruie sorry Ruie and it worked it brought us to another championship lamelo Ball it looks like is going to win this year’s finals MVP respect i did say he was playing better than Paulo throughout the playoff and he did also make an allNBA team he averaged he got 27 in this game and where is Curry 6 for 13 19 points that’s all right i guess it’s not enough though and LaMelo 216 and seven with a steal i’m just 42% but that’s okay i guess if we won in five games here’s the playoff stats as a whole paulo did average more points and more efficient than LaMelo but LaMelo though in general I think Paulo won the conference MVP again I could be wrong but yeah or was it Fran no wait no it wasn’t what am I talking about anyway the only player it says was a negative contributor was Malik Beasley in the playoffs but I think it’s cuz he gets like really no other counting stats except for points but he shot good from the field and from three good enough at least definitely not uh what’s it called we won a championship so I’m not over here look at Look at how valuable these three are lamelo Paulo and Fron are really just leading the team and yeah Beasley was in the negatives in the regular season too but once again I don’t really care maybe this new Rocky Safoski can start next year not start what am I talking about he’s not start paul Reed retired usa team USA what the hell what is this about i actually opted to not trade for other first round picks right so we don’t have any um I could have maybe got some in the lottery this year if I traded for instead of Montage or whatever but I definitely don’t regret it we still have the 30th pick we do have a Lakers first next year though and they lost Luca so that might be big they had the eighth pick this year but they gave it to Utah i think that’s in the Westbrook trade that one year for like uh Vanderbilt or whatever decided yet again just as the Thunder damn first pick i don’t even know how they got this i’m going to check in a second but you know what oh actually all right with our pick we’re going to select Samuel Jackson 19-year-old mostly because he’s young so he could get a lot better i’m going to trade three second round picks of the Hawks for three future second round picks as well uh because I don’t want the 29th pick in the draft don’t care about it and this was a free agent already i’m going to resign him for sure man I can’t believe the Hornets waved a god james Harden just another move that’s going to bite him in the rear # morons lamelo is down to resign little three-year deal so is Matas former teammate of LaMelo’s brother by the way just hit me i don’t know so is Malik Beasley we’ll keep him around and Mo Vagner we will keep him around as well we’re going to resign Rocky to a 4-year 12 million deal and honestly yeah like once again some interesting free agents like I don’t know Josh Hart or Michael Porter Jr These dudes are always out here but I I like keeping our whole operation in house like we’re not really I’m not going to sign nobody a shout out to Trey Young he must have accepted this player option cuz it took him an extra year to get out here but Bronze for some reason went down overall montaz went up by three one of them’s pri or a couple of them prior from the fact that I moved to a small forward and then we do have to make one roster spot to be honest I’m just going to draft the dude Samuel Jackson that we just drafted in a first round pick to the Warriors for two first round picks and just clear the roster spot that way uh because Steph will probably I I’d rather just keep like these two guys we got that are getting better and Rocky and Asanua i’d rather keep all of them honestly that’s our future or whatever i mean the future is here we’re literally here but just felt like none of these moves really matter anyways except for my guy Matas look at that we almost a fivestar lineup only promise go like an 80 but I don’t care okay we are 29 and 21 this year the Pistons and Cavs taking a bit of a leap over us in the standings um things seem to be going okay so far it says that Suggs is taking is Suggs playing like much worse uh I would say so yeah which obviously Suggs is not movable we are never trading Jaylen Suggs at this point we have won three two championships but that’s just something interesting to mention maybe I’ll take a few minutes from him but nothing more than that matas is our fourth most valuable player now this is a bit concerning because I feel like Goa was doing a lot better last year according to the advanced stats see Goa gets it go’s got a five three-point shot tendency now he has a 69 three-pointer with a five tendency i like that you know once every keep them on their toes but like don’t go out there and just start chucking threes you know now am I scared enough this year to make a trade because you know I’m not going to lie no cuz we won two straight rings i want to see if this team alone can repeat if not I might try and make this a real super duper dynasty which it already kind of is and make a trade in the offseason but for now I might just let it rock everybody’s on basically four-year deals i mean if I was to trade for somebody kind of like with LaMelo it would have to be someone that really fits this team and it would obviously be a center like let’s just be honest also for the record there’s a few other teams in the comeup like Zion and Cooper Flags Pelicans they are the best team in the West granted though we match up with this team really well they’re also starting Chris Dunn shout out to Chris Dunn still starting we’re almost like a mirror image of this team especially with like Montage off the bench compared to there trey Murphy honestly I did look at trades i exhausted options i try to see if we can match up money in any way without trading our main pieces but I don’t think I don’t think it’s in the best cards for this season i rather see what we can do i mean even look right here we got four losses in the past week like that’s just a bad streak you know that That’s mid we are 29 and 21 though which is only three games out of even the playin but I’m still Hey we’re reigning champions screw it we going to keep it pushing whole team young we going We going to get back don’t worry okay Luca finishes at the MVP josh Giddy six man of the year kade clutch player jason Kidd coach of the year 59 wins from what I could tell as Okay Paulo made the second team this year 257 and five this is his best statistical year probably but he also shot worse percentages in the last two years and LaMelo also made the team i don’t like this cuz I don’t know i just don’t it’s usually a bad sign in 2K i don’t want nobody on no teams i want a team effort period that’s it but we did finish with 50 wins i I felt like we had a much better grasp the second half of the season regardless we’re playing Atlanta in the first round they are a very good team they did lose Trey though they have Walter Clayton now but they still have Reese and they are going to win game one we’re going to win game two by 30 we held them to 70 points i like that though i like that’s a tone setter they’re going to win the next one okay so we’re looking a bit more rough around the edges right now but we are going to win in six in an OT game so yeah all right i think maybe Damn in the playoffs so far Mo Vagner is playing like garbage 24% from the field and shoot so is Goa a little bit all right well playing Detroit they had the six man of the year Josh Giddy and they still have their same starting five with Ron Holland inserted now they are going to win game one by 20 we win game two by what is this 30 almost 40 we win game three by 20 they win game four by 10 they win game five by eight this is it for all the marbles season on the line in in Orlando okay we are going to probably force that game seven it looks like yeah we’re going to do it 14-point win can we fight our way to another championship or is this going to be the end of the road right here will it end in Detroit all right season on the line 128 128 with 126 to go i wonder what coach Jamal thinks about all this and LaMelo has fouled out of this game that is huge that is really bad um I am going to switch Suggs on to assuming he’s obviously still in the game suggs on to Cade although we do have Anthony Black actually so that’s really not yeah actually defensively we should be even better off with LaMelo out the game yeah Anthony Black has a 94 perity he might just be better oh never mind sucks is a 98 damn they’re just both out here clamping but you know what though i might leave Anthony Black on him just because of the height but Jaylen season so we’ll let him grab the match up when he can with that being said though first possession Kade’s going to get the ball off the pass in from Yovic I would think right here yeah pass in to Kate in the corner against Anthony Black and steps back pulls a shot he misses it good defense force him into a perimeter shot rather than you know well I guess kind of perimeter it was still in damn near the paint but Anthony Black’s going to take it at him he stops he’s going to pass it out to Paulo paulo against Ron Holland on the baseline oh my goodness i about to say he went super close to the baseline and he went out of bounds assar just subbed into the game so they’re going to have Assar on I think Fron and okay Cade is going to get right to the rim and fouled by Suggs and that is his fifth he just hit a mean spin move and got right to the rim and that is first one is good season on the line about to be down by two with 104 to go winner go home game seven anthony Black with the ball all it looks like we’re going to get it to Paulo here I would assume wait maybe not i don’t know black is trying to get to the rim back out to Here he goes paulo to the rim paulo is going to pull up and that is good there we go 49 seconds to go huge shot by Paulo taking it right to the defense but stopping at the right before the paint do they have Yoic at center right now oh my god we need to go to the rim matter of fact we need to get boards too oh Kade is going to bully Suggs and that is 40 seconds to go time out damn near wish we could just double him right i mean they don’t really have another shooter except for Ivy out in the game right Yovic too ron’s probably developed that shot as well but I all I know is that is not shooting the damn ball pass in to Suggs suggs back to Goa back to Suggs over to Paulo paulo with the ball at the three-point line he’s going to pass it on to Goa goa what the hell that better be our ball no way it’s Pistons ball what was that can I challenge that hold on let me see go tried to pass it back to him he threw it off of That looks like it’s off of Yovic though for sure i mean that’s literally the only reason hold on can I see something real quick i go here and then I I can’t yeah I don’t I don’t know you know what we’re just going to play it straight up because if we can get one stop we have one timeout left but we need the one stop with deathly bad int actually are they going to foul i don’t think so no okay good i just didn’t know why they were pressing so high i mean I get it but pass up to Cade kade with the ball kade to the right kade all the way to the rim kade blocked by Suggs we’ll call the timeout and slow it down 22 seconds to go what a block by Jaylen Suggs i’m happy I left him on Cade cuz he had the better badges than uh than Anthony Black despite the height i mean he’s only 2 in shorter than him I think but yeah passing to Black with the ball who is it going to go to here is he going to take it no it’s over to Paulo paulo has a lane layup it’s good no timeouts for Detroit but we need a stop 15 seconds to go cade back up the other way guarded by Suggs come on Jaylen we trusted you we’ve kept you here you’ve heard of heard us this season don’t hurt us again please oh my goodness cade pull up it’s good and we don’t have a timeout oh that’s about to be the season anthony Black full court he bricked it and that is game damn game seven loss to Detroit well 15 to for 24 from Paulo 36 points what What a run though i won’t lie i don’t even have a a ill will ill regard of anything of this i mean we lost but what a run we have had they got smoked by the Cavs we probably would have lost to the Cavs this year and the Cavs will win the championship they were 57 wins which is less than we both had last year i think we both had 59 which only the Mavs had and they beat the uh the Mavs in the final 1 v1 seed yeah in the playoffs I mean we know what needs to be done we It’s been a long time coming uh we did resign that dude Rocky who could end up being better than both of our centers as is but yeah I I would imagine Look at Mo mo shot 37% in from the play in the from the field in the playoffs 25 from three respect to Mo um I hope to keep most of the guys out here but you know we got to do what we got to do nquille wasn’t you know a lot of our bench guys I would say are replaceable at this point but also like you know the vibes got to be right so hey but the big three they’re they’re never splitting up we’re keeping these dudes together forever buddy healed retired oh don’t we have that Lakers pick this year oh my goodness lakers pick third best odds let’s screw it i’m going to skip it let’s see it is going to be third i’ll take it i will take that i thought it was going to drop honestly oh where is my guy at where is Jamal Mosley hey Jamal don’t you worry you did nothing wrong i mean maybe you did but it doesn’t matter you’re still our guy sign back welcome back and we have the third overall pick from that Lakers trade year one with Ruie shout out to Ruy and this is a very good draft we’re out of that period of uh the overly realistic drafts so we’re now on to I don’t know Lincoln Cosby this dude Paul Baba Dum but forget the draft low key we could use this pick and get what we’ve been needing for a while now now a question to have would be considering the money and I haven’t even clicked on a trade yet but would I be willing to trade I mean I don’t think I’m willing to trade Anthony Black we’ve just been through a lot with Anthony Black but would I be willing to trade Montage to get an elite center okay we have made a big time trade without trading by the way our third pick we have traded with the reigning Western champions Dallas Mavericks i do want to preface with that cuz I know this is kind of crazy but we have gotten for Rocky Zaposki Rui Hachima and Malik Beasley we have received Derek Lively and I think two or three second round picks as our center of the future or our like our legit center now I do want to say so there was a few centers I was looking at out here so specifically I went here i was looking for centers that made less than $30 million so I didn’t have to trade any of my major players and if you look here you will see like well here’s the best ones yeah so you see oh I accidentally clicked free agent okay here you go so Zubac was a thought i didn’t really want a player that’s this much off of like the age gap of our guys i wanted a player that was a bit younger his salary would have been relatively easy to trade for another one was Walker Kesler a bit more difficult to trade for but another very good player added six and a half wins to his team last season and if you go one more down or two more down it’s Derek Lively and I looked at Lively and this man added well it said 11 now it’s it does sometimes you trade for someone says nine now but it was at 11 wins added he averaged 10 and nine for the Mavericks he’s going to come out here and just dunk run block play defense at the end of the day negotiation negotiation they accept the damn trade well there you go they’ll get some good players shoot they actually might have had Did Kyrie or AD retire yet cuz I don’t know and another I mean I’m going to be honest with you those weren’t the only guys I want to go trade for i One player who is not currently untouchable is Giannis giannis is not untouchable but I don’t want to trade for I do not want to trade this it would take this package right here which by the way I mean we just got Lively so this is over with now but I was going to put Giannis at center obviously but we would have had to have traded some like this Matas i mean look at this we got Anthony Black Mataz Goa Mo Vagner and Nquil and we still can’t make this trade happen and these are all you know tenur Magic players at this point so this obviously leaves us which I’m probably going to hold on to all of our centers these are just our guys i can’t trade Mo Vagner i got his brother on the damn team and then from there I mean we could just low-key just draft with a third pick and maybe play dude whoever we draft but we also uh you know what actually this could be also the first year cuz I traded the only rotational dude I traded was Malik Beasley so shout out to him but this can also finally be the first time that we just play Assad Newell he’s been sitting here for years i actually probably would have traded him but he has a team option right now so he’s not tradable all right so with the third pick in the draft we are going to be able to select looks like it’ll be Lincoln Cosby who is a wing 79 overall NBA ceiling i’m going to go ahead and just take him with the 20 whatever the hell pick this is i’m going to take Malachi Jordan cuz he’s got Hall of Fame potential thank you very much and then with our last pick I’m going to select DaVon Thompson actually that’s not our last pick i’m going to trade this one though the Sixers for 2 seconds cuz I don’t want it so yeah here we go draft Lincoln Cosby i might play this dude off out the gate off the rip all right in Fency I did get uh I wouldn’t say cheesy but a little bit exhausted our options on what we could possibly do so I decided with Malik Beasley you can’t kill the man you can kill the man but you can’t kill the idea so I brought in Gary Trent Jr just in case because if you think about it we still aren’t like a heavy three-point shooting team malik did play that role for us i mean we got Nquille still but if we were to bring in one of the big men off the bench to play then you know that’s kind of you know clogging up the team also signed this dude Isaiah Evans from Duke see considering though that he just went up by one overall I might trade him right now cuz I kind of signed him assuming he would get a little bit better but yeah I think we have to clear up like three roster spots so it might get kind of interesting right now i might I might be getting a hall of picks in a few minutes yeah we have we have three extra roster spots so I’m going to trade Isaiah Evans to the Mavs for another Lakers pick consider this in addition to the uh the Lively trade and I’ll play it ethically we’ll trade this dude they just gave us for two second round picks hopefully he doesn’t hate me for this but we’re going to get rid of our coach’s son at least in theory and trade him to Memphis for two first Josiah Mosley and lastly I’m going to trade our second round pick DaVon Thompson to the Kings for a first round pick and that should be good so hopefully we can get back to prime time now all right so starters obviously Lively now is going to start at center and I’m going to give him 30 minutes off the rip and then off the bench it’s Buzzelli’s Anthony Black Nquille i am going to give a shot to Lincoln Cosby with 10 minutes a game our third overall pick i mean he is the third overall pick so he should be good and I’m actually going to play Mo as our backup center with 10 minutes they want me to play Assad Newell which is pretty funny cuz once again I have yet to play this dude at all and maybe he deserves it but I’m going to play Mo over him gary Trent obviously well cuz Gary Trent’s not you know it’d be between Gary Trent and the rookie but I’m going to play him over Goa because Goa doesn’t really provide offense i like what Mo brings off the bench offensively i mean he did shoot 44% from three last year and 48 from the field it has been one week of the season and Fron’s already wants to resign which shouldn’t be too surprising though i even kept his brother around through an offseason where he probably should have been traded granted he’s still in the rotation though and Jaylen Suggs also wants to resign so welcome back and so does Nquille so welcome back they just love it out here orlando anybody in the comments from Orlando y’all like Orlando i know one Magic fan he might be watching this video right now but he lives in LA he’s a damn y’all know y everybody got a friend by the way we’ve lost two games so far there goes the third all four does everybody out there have a friend that’s like “Oh yeah I’m a fan of this team cuz that was the first game I ever watched.” And it’s like a It’s like Utah and he lives in I don’t know Jersey i will say that’s still kind of the same thing with me cuz the first games I genuinely remember watching was when Jeremy Lynn was playing so the exact same thing kind of happened but it dropped it just so happened to be the Knicks so that worked out cuz you know I live here but I think my friend who’s a who’s a what’s it called a Magic fan from LA wanted to be a Magic fan because he just wanted to hate on the Lakers when they were in the finals against them i think that’s what he told me we’re 41 and 13 for some reason we have became garbage in the past like 3 weeks in case you noticed but I’m not really going to read too much into it this is a weird stretch so far on the season same stuff as usual for the most part mo is playing extremely well off the bench this year 58 from the field 51 from three lincoln Cosby’s giving us 6 and 1/2 points he’s not giving us a three-point shooting that uh Malik would have but he is doing a bit more in general than Gary Trent would do as well and I mean yeah we’re we’re the first seed in the conference i would assume we might be the best in the league uh we’re behind the Pelicans by half a game so yeah back to the Kings and honestly if we win this year I might cap off the video at three rings i’ve kind of just been going because we won so early i just want to make it into a dynasty but hopefully we can win so Luca wins another MVP coach of the year Jamal Mosley 66 wins forget everybody else all these weak players lamelo did make the third team 24 which is his most since getting here 24 points eight assists i’m not really sure you know what maybe a contributor was that he shot his best percent in many years i mean I don’t know he’s been pretty consistent in just about everything still have no all defense players this whole time by the way despite the fact that we’ve been like the best I checked and even last year we were the third best defensive team and Lincoln Cosby made the all rookie first team shout out to him we end up as the first seed obviously we are damn we are uh just a little bit better than New Orleans but we are 13 wins better than anybody on the East so we have bounced back full-fledged and yeah last year so this year we are the third best offensive team and the second best defensive team actually to the second seat of Detroit but I’ll take it i’ll allow that that’s fine you don’t got to be perfect all right Toronto first round they have Khalil Wear now and they have Devin Booker i I don’t know why my eyes just kind of averted from that maybe because he’s in Toronto that’s kind of weird but you think Deon Booker is ever going to leave the Suns i don’t know every time I do one of these he’s so easy to trade for like I could have it was funny i could have traded for Deon Booker year one of this video i think they offered me him for like Anthony Black and I don’t remember probably it was probably Suggs and someone else to be to be fair but second round we’re playing the Sixers Maxi McCain Dalton Connect Dron Holmes and Nicholas Claxton we are going to go down 2-1 tied 2-2 that was weird but we win eventually and the Pistons they have only lost one game themselves in the playoffs so far we are going to play them yet again they have Pascal Siakum who’s a great fit i’m a I really like Pascal that’s my guy i I rock with Pascal like even last year when the Knicks played the Pacers I’m just always happy to see a Pascal bucket and it’s really annoying when it’s against you uh he just has a good skill set all right well I don’t even remember what game this is but we’re going to win this one by what is this eight points 46 from LaMelo in this one we go up 2-1 tie it 2-2 now they tie it 2-2 and oh boy they are cooking us and the defense really well I mean no their offense was nuts too but held us to 99 points lamelo was being a free throw merch in this game paulo was two for 13 pascal Siaka maybe I like him a little bit too much i don’t know he’s like clamping on my players and close game i think we should be good though yeah we’re going to win it by 6 20 from Paulo 3-3 series in Orlando oh boy this is not looking good but we’re not fully out of it yet okay okay hold on okay it’s a six-point game with 230 to go i’m going to jump in this is huge it’s game seven right yeah i probably should have shortened the rotation by now and took out the rookie i don’t I don’t tr Is that Oh my I thought that was Caruso but it’s Jordan Wall anyways passing to Giddy where is Okay Kad’s in the corner oh we have one of the young dudes in what the hell is he in the game for oh no real quick just while while his name’s in the game make sure Suggs is guarding Cade good god um why is why is Lively so out on the perimeter what are we doing what are y’all doing how did that work so well and how many timeouts we have left two never mind just Why is Fleming in the game i don’t know but screw but we’re going to run it at this point fleming the spin fleming to the rim okay I guess he gives Kate his third foul not like that matters only 2 minutes to go fleming to the line first free throw is good who just subbed out and he missed the second free throw okay so LaMelo has to be fouled out again which is really annoying yeah he’s fouled out so is Fleming about to run the rest of the game i don’t know where Anthony Black probably would have subbed in by now but anyways oh my goodness k to the rim he gets fouled all right yeah Anthony Black subs into the game that’s better but we are about to be down by nine points with two is there any chance that we could do this anthony Black against Giddy nasty matchup just like skill setwise and Anthony Black takes a disgusting layup and it goes in that’s a seven-point lead for us or for them seven-point deficit for us suggs picks up Cade and oh my god he just got cooked by a Hezi cage’s trying to get to it come on we got Derek Lively on the team two now come on man lock in i mean doesn’t really change much in this portion of the vid of the game play but anyways oh my goodness kade to the corner k oh wait maybe it does lively with the stop and oh it might be their ball damn that was huge too but they’re only going to have 14 seconds but that was great defense by Lively definitely much better than Goa was playing cuz we already said it early on go’s defensive ratings were not that good um all right pass out Assar hey sag off please oh no he’s going to go over isn’t he he went under oh he went under there it is come on come on he’s with us there we go paulo guarded by Giddy paulo to the right to the rim he passed it down to Suggs that was a tough pass he missed it he got it back and he gets blocked rebound by Lively again to Suggs for the mid-range he misses again jaylen Suggs what are we doing oh my god jaylen Suggs might have just thrown away the game and there goes what’s his name duran for the dunk damn i thought that was going to be it i thought it was going to be the year that we get back and yeah let’s just get out of here at this point wait matter of fact I just thought about it we’re 27 seconds lively at the line hits one could anything happen here i I don’t know why all right I’m I’ll be honest i jump back in to to get a picture for the thumbnail and then I I peeped that Li was at the line with this much time left i don’t know maybe you know what actually I’m going to cheese it i’m going to cheese it what if they miss here oh come on show me they miss show me the miss thompson three-point shot miss black rebound i’m cheesing i’m cheesing 20 seconds we’re down by four come on come on do some BS hit a 4.5point play from the Gatorade logo what was that one thing they used to do in the All-Star weekend i don’t know pass in Fr frs pass it back out for a three please he’s going to dribble out for a three he’s going to take the three he’s going to miss the three that was disgusting all right well yeah series over we lose by six 30 from Paulo we didn’t deserve it all right well that’s really tough that sucks and Kaden Zion win the conference MVPs and they just came back from like 3 0 down and won the championship kcp retired and so did Doc Rivers he went back to the Clippers by the way we have the Wow the Nets have a lot too but we have the fourth seventh and ninth odds in the draft could it end up being anything uh maybe some Oh no they just dropped to 6 eight and nine all right well this might have to be the year where we doubled down quadrupled down and can I check some real quick actually so Lively when he was on the Mavs he added 11 wins he added seven wins here that’s still very good i’m not going to you know you’re going to add less wins when the team is better as well so and LaMelo has taken the lead at least he did last year anthony Black I know he’s a great defender 88 overall but just a win and a half added to the team that’s kind of tough that’s my guy but if we could like solidify I don’t know man all right we have just traded a hall to the Indiana Pacers low-key a culture shock of a hall because for can I be honest this all started off because I just wanted one player i really just wanted Andrew Nemhard i like Andrew Nemhard i think he’s a cool player uh he was cooking yesterday in the playoffs for the Pacers and in general I I even had this is another dude I respect when the Knicks played the Pacers last year cuz the dude was out here hitting tough mid-range buckets whatever he’s also one of the better defenders out here he has a 99 mid-range shot he also has a 91 perimeter defense he further enforces that perimeter defensive thing and we’re going to have him next to Boozelli’s Lively Anthony Black off the bench as you can see I kept all of them and not only did I get uh Andrew Nemhard I also just got the second pick in the draft and we still have pick 6 8 and 16 i traded pick nine look at this haul i had to trade for this and this isn’t that crazy but it’s just a lot nquille Gogetaz Mo Vagner yes both of our former championship rotation centers king Fleming a 2031 first round pick and the eighth pick in the draft i think it was the eighth pick never mind it was the ninth pick we traded that to them so we now have picks 2 6 8 16 and two of the second round and we have still a restricted free agent Assad Newell who might actually have to play now but uh the reason why I finally actually fully went ahead and and locked in is because I noticed that Eric Dampier Jr is out here he’s a He’s the biggest player in the draft well literally and figuratively i just need him to fall to two that’s it that’s all I need and I really do honestly i I I lowkey I damn near can’t even risk it let me see the Nets have the first pick and the Nets have mad picks up here too i don’t want to give him any more picks but if I can I would like to move up which pick wait did I just say Orlando wait do that again orlando unprotected one pick to move up one yeah I’ll do this i’ll do it screw it and I know that he wasn’t even ranked number one but I don’t want no BS to happen eric Dan Pierre welcome to the team so this is going to be our backup center immediately and Brooklyn’s going to take Cameron Marson number two respect we also have a bunch more picks so honestly I’m just going to keep him let’s see bentley Luca Luca Kano uh Tim Duncan Hall of Fame ceiling kevin Wheatley Hall of Fame ceiling edmund Cardinal Hall of Fame ceiling didn’t even show a player just Hall of Fame period and Wilson Bass all NBA ceiling i don’t know we can’t There’s no way we can get all these players but whatever like we can’t we can’t keep all so our rotation’s already set as is which shouldn’t be too surprising we actually have 15 players on the dot right now but I am going to keep him in purgatory ressign Assad Newell just in case the other center isn’t good either that we just drafted year one it’s actually you this might be your best chance at playing and we’ll get rid of Gary Trent shout out to Gary Trent how how do you play this year well actually I didn’t play him what am I talking about and I’m going to trade that one second round pick we’re going to trade Wilson to the Warriors for first and that’s it that’s all 15 roster spots so Anthony Black went up by two by the way I haven’t changed the shot tendency once this entire video anthony Black still at 58 paulo’s actually at 86 lamelo’s at 99 fran’s been at 79 like the entire time so is Suggs suggs should probably be a little bit higher but with how the lineup is I don’t really want to shoot more anyways and yeah all of our young players got a little bit better so hopefully this could be the last year we could just cap this off with a championship which is kind of weird cuz it feels like I’m like fending for one we already have two we’re going to run the exact same rotation again this year except Eric Dampier and Andrew Nehard are off the bench now playing a little bit all right at the deadline we’re 36 and 12 just a little bit better than the Pistons and a little bit worse than the Jazz who are now number one in the league led by AJ Debunts to male Bridges Denny Abdia Nemius Kada we might have like a a a league what’s the word um investigation where you don’t really need a a great center in in 2K like the Ninius Kada i mean he’s doing his job but he’s 80 overall my point might take a little bit less to do the job eric Dan Pierre’s playing all right so far he’s actually at a pure zero on wins added so I don’t know if that’s that’s not really that good but we’re going to let him rock hollow’s ready to resign doesn’t want to let me frontload his contract but that’s okay same goes for Anthony Black and Derek Lively luca wins MVP elijah Reus most improved jamal Mosley coach of the year 64 wins i didn’t really look up or check anything since the All-Star break so I guess we finished as the best 25 and8 from LaMelo to make another AllNBA team and yes 64 wins was the best in the East best in the league it’s actually Luca’s team that’s tied with us they’re not tied they’re the best in the West we have the seventh best offense and the best defense in the NBA should have just got better with Nemhard so that makes sense and first round playing the Raptors again we going to lose any games to them we lost the first game we lost another game and we win in six second round against Philadelphia same old played them last year I think and we are going to lose two and lose a third hold on let me check some Let me check some stuff i mean we’re playing pretty normal this is just on the players at this point i don’t know they’re telling me to bench Fronze for Booellis that’s kind of wild but most importantly we’re just going to double down on Paulo and LaMelo right now with 40 minutes each i’m giving 30 to Fran and 24 to Montage i guess they only they are only like a one overall difference at this point now are we about to lose i mean if we lost our mojo man I don’t know what to tell you we might have just lost it we might have lost our dog we are going to lose another year and honestly I got one more in me that’s that’s it that’s all I got for you we end up with the seventh pick in the draft i might just trade it right now i really don’t want to make a pick selection right now you know it really doesn’t matter let me just go try and select the best player dominic Marorrow all NBA ceiling welcome to the team said he can be Klay Thompson we might need that i’m g trade all three of our second round picks to I’ll trade two to the Wizards and two to the Blazers sorry that I just made a team better maybe we have 16 players on the roster so I’m definitely not signing anybody cosby goes up to an 86 newwell’s up to an 83 dan Pierre’s up to an 82 and then the rest of the guys are out here uh this dude Edmund Cardinal did not get any better or nothing so I’m just going to go ahead and trade him to the Lakers for two first they have had a bunch of Lakers first in this video and this is it i’m officially declaring this is for sure the final year matter of fact I’m going to Yeah you know what they don’t even want to play Dampier this year they want to finally get Newwell a shot why not and also I’m going to put it on automatic for the coaching let it rock hands off give it to Jamal Mosley at the deadline we are back to being We’re three games out of the first seat but kind of mediocre but Melo I’ll give you one last contract i’m not going to take no money from you matter of fact Nim Oh wow they don’t really want much money at all okay thank yeah we’re not changing nothing we’re just going to see if we go in the ring or whatever we actually have went on a tear the second half of the season and I think we’re the best team in the East but not the league though 54 in the East but that’s second best in the league behind Dallas who now is Trey Young no AD no Kyrie but they have Trey Young VJ Edgecomb and Daniel G oh they do have Kyrie kyrie’s on the bench that is kind of wild what the hell what year is it he’s 39 this is it this is the last year all right well let’s see playing first round playing oh my goodness we go down 20 off the rip we are going to win in six though detroit second round 2-2 3-2 4-2 Sixers again third round we go up 3-2 of course it it there’s no other way this can go than a game oh my god and it’s going to be a blunderous uh absolutely cooked game seven and damn you know what yeah I don’t you know what I don’t like feel like Paulo and LaMelo like why did they not shoot that much in that game whatever I guess they also just weren’t playing that well hey man you’re Orlando Magic it is 2031 gave it one more shot but out the five years so far at least out of the first two years won two championships haven’t been back since but that’s okay we g we gave y’all a little dynasty a little something hey out of all these years since 2019 we are the only repeat or even duplicate championship right every single other one is different except for us we’re we’re oneonone for real so Orlando we did something special in this it was nice to get some early rings anyways it has been real it has been fun but ain’t real fun shout out to Cory Joseph shout out to DJ Austinine shout out to Andrew Nicholson and shout out to Daryl Armstrong and I’m going to get the hell up and out of here

I’m a magic fan from Orlando. It’s a pretty great city. Moved out to Denver for a little bit and hated it
He should drop one of these before the first game of the finals to predict who loses😂
Lifelong Orlando Magic fan here 🙋🏽♂️! This brought so much joy. I might need Lamelo Ball to join the Magic for real lol

THANK YOU CLIQUE🙏🏽
Petition for 2k to add a choice of which era you want your my career to take place in. Imagine going against Wilt, or Jordan’s bulls then Kobe and Shaq’s lakers then prime bron. Would make it a lot more exciting, interesting, challenging, and get people to actually play it. Would also fix going against random 2k generated players 3 seasons in. Please share this and MAKE THIS BLOW UP so 2k sees it
What settings you use for contracts ?
4:02 😂🫡

Trade whole Celtics team and get 19 within 3 years
Hey Clique, I know you get a lot of requests for players. Here’s a cool one if you wanted to check it out “Sabas” Sabonis. The father of Domantas. Players from the 90s were saying that if he were to of started in the NBA at the regular time 18-21years old he would’ve been one of the most dominant centers even Shaq agreed.
Day one asking for Nick Young career simulation
Was playing clique in random rec when he reminded me to like the video
Day 1 requesting an Adam Silver career sim (it’s really just a player sim to GM sim)
Day 52 asking for a jr smith career re-sim
Clique, are you going to do a new Bulls rebuild for Pope Leo the 14th?
THANK YOU I’ve been saying Melo needs to be here
Clique try not to say "anyways…" Challenge (Impossible)
Rui for Lively feels like it could be a prediction for the future lol

Born and Raised in Orlando but I live in SoCal. Orlando is a cool city but it’s boring if you’re not into tourist BS. No matter where I go, I’m repping the Pin Stripes. Go Magic! 🪄
here after Bane trade
I think you should have traded Cole Anthony, KCP, 4 1sts and a swap for Desmond Bane in the first offseason
