On my 4th try I got the 4th pick. These new lottery odds are going to make things a little more interesting. We don't have to out-tank the other teams but we do need to be in the race to give ourselves a chance at least.

Not making excuses for him, but Tim was snakebit last year

I dunno man, the Mavs can be pretty decent and they should finish strong when Luka catches a second wind. And the Cavs could be in the mix for the 8th spot with Miami & Detroit if they don't trade Love.

Bulls I just don't know what to think about. I can see them winning almost 30 games, depending on when Lauri gets back.

Reality gonna kick in for him. He’s a gunner who’s nowhere near unstoppable enough to justify his salary or his offensive workload.

Make him the 6th man and mitigate his shortcomings while maximizing his strengths.

All those current teams except for the Kings & Hawks are better than the Knicks without KP. At least 5 games better.

6th man on this team? He’s our best player right now

But that's the key

It depends on when KP comes back and how good he is coming off of major surgery

If we go the whole year without KP, we're an easy bottom 5 team, with only the Kings and Hawks I'd say for sure worse

If KP comes back around February and manages to be half as good as he was last year, I could see us winning 3-5 more games than we should, bringing us from bottom 5 record to that 7-9 range

i agree. ideally he's a 6th man.

but he's the guy on this team.

Bulls and Cavs aren't tanking. Kings and Mavs don't own their own pick. Doubt they're tanking. Really only the Hawks and Magic that are in the way.

How can the Magic routinely pick in the Top 10 and still be this bad is beyond me. Team should be shipped somewhere else or something

Posted: **Sat Oct 20, 2018 7:39 pm**

The Magic management is trash. Lottery pick after lottery pick and can’t get it right

Posted: **Sat Oct 20, 2018 8:13 pm**

Knicks hired Orlando's VP.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They have arguably the worst backcourt in the entire league. I thought Knicks had terrible guards until I looked at the Magic roster

Are you trashing Bomba?

Posted: **Sat Oct 20, 2018 9:44 pm**

Yeah, I like Bamba - Gordon - Isaac...but that team desperately needs a star guard.
