Official 2025 Offseason Thread

[AdamTheGreek]

Declining Moritz gets us $15.5M to spend before hitting the first apron.

Moritz is getting declined, squad.

It’s a big offseason indicator.

If he doesn’t get declined then we’re probably looking at at least one more trade and a Tyus Jones type of player signing at the tax payer MLE.

I predict after next season, Vooch comes back to Orlando on a 1 or 2 year cheap deal for a run at a ship. Vooch will provem all wrong again!

If he wants a run for thr ship.. he should come here NOW.

Next next season is defending what we will win this upcoming season!

You heard it here first!

Eh, he has $20 mil on the last year of his contract. We may not be ready this year, but next year I wouldn't be surprised if we do.

It’s hilarious how they present the obvious like a revelation. AB was drafted to replace Suggs from the start, it’s been clear if you’ve been paying attention.

AB would have to develop some skills first to replace anyone.

Yeah, they drafted AB in 2023 to replace a guy they drafted in 2021. Probably your dumbest take yet.

I think a trade is most likely to occur. Weltman has said over and over trades are the best way to attain talent.

The Bane addition could mean AB and WCJ have to go

Unless they are trading WCJ for an upgrade at center I don’t see going anywhere.

If Suggs gets injured, Black will start.

If Carter gets injured Goga will start.

What’s your point?

Has nothing to do with the discussion.

If that happens. We riot and break all windows that Bane loves in our practice facility

Did people not watch last season? We lost Paolo and we still stayed afloat. Hell we even lost Franz and played better than I thought possible it wasn’t until Suggs went down that the wheels fell off. We win because of our defense and he is the single most important piece to that. People really believe he won’t get better? He was terrible shooting then worked on that like a maniac and started shooting 40%. This guy eat sleeps and breathes basketball lol. Just look at who he is dating. I would not place any bet against him.

He should get a lot of open looks too. Hopefully is 3pt percent goes back up. Teams are going to force him to beat them with open shots.

Yeah.. less anyone forget... its when our starters sit down that the wheels comes off become no one on our bench can score unless its one of those Cole Anthony nights.

What about Dennis Schroder?

[Skybox]

What about Dennis Schroder?

he's been such an obvious choice for years...makes me think ORL FO just doesn't want him (for some reason)

Like people say about Simons...he would've been here by now

[fendilim]

[OrlandoDream]

This never happened. This is clearly Bulls front office trying to set the value for Coby after the Bane haul. We prob offered Cole and our 25 FRP and they just putting this out. What a coincidence this is reported after the bane trade? We've been after Coby for months if rumors are true. I say this as Coby White was my preferred trade target too. Would have loved him on the team.

[Knightro]

I have to think Moe is getting declined purely for flexibility sake.

They get the midlevel by declining him. If they don’t use their mid-level, they could literally resign Moe to the exact same contract he has now in two weeks if they want to because they have his full bird rights.
