We need to sign a pg... who's available these days?

No one mention Kemba... Do not want. We need a guy that is going to bring up the ball, defer to others on offense, and play a little defense.

Sucks about Suggs. He's been ever so gradually looking more comfortable.

I just can’t buy that half of the team, for years, is constantly hurt for months.

Out of our 15 man roster, not even taking Mulder and Brazdeikis into account the following guys are hurt:

Fultz (Knee), Isaac (over a year for his knee, MCW (no one actually knows), Moore (not that he matters anyway), Suggs (thumb), Anthony (ankle).

That’s 1/3 of the actual roster. Then you can normally add one of Harris or Ross with some brainscratching issues, or Bamba’s back is hurting / Dell’s eye got poked despite wearing goggles.

Same red line every year, whole team is constantly injured. There is either a voodoo curse or our players suddenly get glass bones, once they first wear a magic uniform. I find this kind of ridiculous.

Brazdeikis got a steal and a personal foul in seven minutes to go +/- for a minus 8. What a stat line for a winnable game.

This loss is on Okeke and Ross. They needed "some" production. Oh boy does this bench suck.

TRoss, while basically irrelevant to the future of this team, has to be the biggest disappointment of the year. What the hell happened to him? I get that his heart might not be in it, but last night's game was just the type for him to go "balls-out, save the day, remember who I am when I need to be" mode. I don't even want to go on the trade boards and argue his value anymore...I always believed ANY team would be improved by adding his flamethrower profile to their bench...whether as 6th, 7th, 8th man (depending on the team)...Now, people will be offering a couple of useless 2nds-and I don't blame them.

Ross has been the worst player on the team by a mile IMO.

Harris has struggled hard at times, but at least tries defensively.

Ross doesn't try defensively, hijacks possessions and generally has played like a guy who is desperate to be outta here.

Its going to be a while before we win a game. The schedule looks tough and there is a west road trip, half the team with bandages.

Very good effort by the starters, Franz came up big, too bad we couldn't pull off the win due to the poor bench and some boneheaded plays down the stretch. Embiid looked really tired most of the game, which helped, but still, after the poor start and given the injury situation our young players did very well to come back and make a game out of it. A real shame about Suggs' injury, he was getting better offensively and we badly need his defense.

Yeah, Harris has been bad mostly because he is physically a shell of what he used to be after all the injuries (he can't get to the rim at all now and defensively he's too slow in many situations), but at least he tries most of the time and plays within the offense when he's with the starters. Ross is playing like someone who is getting paid to help the team tank. Terrible shots, horrific passing, no effort on D whatsoever, horrible body language.

Out of our 15 man roster, not even taking Mulder and Brazdeikis into account the following guys are hurt:

That’s 1/3 of the actual roster. Then you can normally add one of Harris or Ross with some brainscratching issues, or Bamba’s back is hurting / Dell’s eye got poked despite wearing goggles.

Same red line every year, whole team is constantly injured. There is either a voodoo curse or our players suddenly get glass bones, once they first wear a magic uniform. I find this kind of ridiculous.
Lol I feel you. It's really crazy. But when you say you cant buy all these dudes are hurt what are you insinuating? To me its just really bad luck

Just think some of them are suspiciously long for minor injuries. Doesn’t help that the FO is completely silent about recovery times.

For me, Harris has been horrible in more games that Ross has been horrible. But the idea the were are even discussing which 12M+ player stinks-on-the-court more is very disappointment for me.

Ross and Harris are on this roster to provide veteran stability. Yet, one can argue it is their personal failures as the sole reason Orlando is the NBA's worst team. My point: if Ross and Harris were both PER = 13 players, the Magic probably has 8 wins right now.

Instead, both have made themselves untradeable except as cap space.
