...I'd trade WCJ for Mark Williams and hope for HIM to get healthy


Problem with that is M.Williams problem is his back. As Magic fans, dont we have a history of players who shined then dropped because of back injuries? ( Tmac , D12, Penny(???)


True- but he's still very young. WCJ now has a track record of missing games for everything but his back. I like WCJ but I really like Williams and he's obviously down with Paolo.


Yes he is... but its a guessing game how many games per season M.Williams can give us. At least we know WCJ is good for 60.lol

Are we going to have the same circled arguments around WCJ the entire season?

He is here this entire season and can’t be traded until after the season.

I’m also not holding the most common Basketball injury a sprain ankle against him unless he misses 3 + weeks.

WCJ’s biggest issue is availability. He has been granted another chance this season.

I thought our complaints against WCJ is he does not block shots to cover for Paolo/Franz?

I like Orlando's core of Franz, Paolo, and Suggs. I also like our youth in AB, Jett, and TDS. I like some role players like Moe and sometimes JI.

I dislike just about everything else though and the front office's approach in fleshing out a roster around those guys.

Hand fractures happen. Hartenstein out for 4-6 weeks similar to Wendell last year.
