I just stopped figuring Isaac into the future of the Magic. Whatever is going on with him makes no sense to me and I don't know what to make of it.

PG - Fultz
SG - Suggs
SF - Wagner
PF - Issac
C - Carter

I have a feeling Anthony and Bamba will most likely be off the team when the next season starts.

There's 3 guys who are starters and the rest revolves around what happens in the Draft and FA. Fultz, OnlyFranz & WCJ, the other 2 spots are up for grabs IMO. There's no way the FO is going to grab a FA PG over Fultz and it's looking like a 4/5 slot in the draft unless we slide to 5-8 which could bring trades or a 2 guard.

Fultz
TBD
Franz
TBD/WCJ
WCJ/TBD
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

What is your basis for this? Right now, we have the worst record in the league...I understand it's a lottery but...huh?

Crazy to think the worst team in the NBA could have its top 3 pick in the draft coming off the bench. That sounds like mismanagement to me.

They are the worst because their starting lineup is all 23 and under. If they start the next rookie, they are accepting another terrible season. I'm sure the pro tankers would love it.

As for the thread...Bamba is either off the team or coming off the bench guaranteed. Cole has a high chance of coming off the bench. Suggs probably will continue to start but I don't think he's a guarantee. WCJ and Franz are absolute starters in this league. Isaac if by miracle is playing...will just replace Bamba or he'll be off the bench in limited minutes.

I’d agree with the masses here really. The only sure fire starters next year are Franz and WCJ. I’m hoping Fultz and Issac get all the way back and reach the potential they have. I have real doubts about Issac. Fultz can be useful despite his shot issues.

So my optimistic starting 5
Issac
WCJ
Franz
Draft Pick
Fultz

My realistic starters
Anthony
Suggs
Wagner
Draft Pick
WCJ
You look confused...let me fill you in.

Locked Core

Starters: Suggs,Franz, WCJ
Bench: Chuma,
Deep bench: Mortiz

Once health is sustained Core players
JI, Fultz

On Bubble 6th man Cole, Smaller Contract than WCJ Bamba, Give a chance Bol

Outside looking in RJ
Done with Ross

I don’t love our 2 way players but hope we find someone better than Iggy to add. Maybe a 2nd round pick for his spot.

I like to keep Harris around but depends on how the season ends and how the first of the off season works out.

Draft pick should add a player who is a great prospect to core
