Weltman said they can't pay everyone! I'm paying Suggs though to a Cole Anthony type of contract.


Their agents are going to bring up career trajectory. Cole took less and now you want them to lowball Suggs and it's not even your money. I hope they all get paid.

He's not due for an extension until next summer, bring him off the bench next season. He's so important to our team

Don’t be losers.
For those who trash Franz now just relax and watch Game 4.

Yet somehow, people will point to our need for a first option as the reason we lost this series. Unbelievable.

Agreed. He needs to improve as well along with our roster.

Who would you have played?

Remember we are built around defence

Look, this season is living by "Anthony Black is our savior" and dying by "Anthony Black is our savior"...

Ironically, I am looking forward to Anthony Black minutes next year with another offseason under his belt :lol:


Why you gotta bring my boy into this?! Such a hater move. ;)

Add Cole and WCJ to that list and that's the start of a good offseason.


Carter was pretty good this series. Given what he did I doubt he gets moved.

Come on man.. this isn't fair at all. He got in foul trouble and it prevented him from getting a feel for the game.


He was 16-58 from the field in 4 games in Cleveland.

This is 27%

As a 6'10 player.

I'm sorry, but if anyone has this numbers, he'll get critisized.

Today he played scared.

He is a role player, asked to do more than he can handle.


You need to come back to reality.

It doesn’t matter what timeline we are on, it shouldn’t take 3 years to find someone who can reliably make a 3 and not be a traffic cone on defense.



My god the rebuild just started 3 years ago you all make it seem like the Magic are a finished product and should be contending. Calm down and enjoy the process for the love of god. So annoying.

You don’t have to be finished product to be able to find someone who can shoot a damn ball at a decent clip.

You know if we drafted based on need rather talent. We'd likely would've drafted Jabari Smith rather than Banchero last year.

Again, we drafted the franchise player a season ago. How do you fix all the teams issues within 1 year after figuring out who you are as a young/rebuilding team.

The logic here doesn't make much sense.

Seriously, at the beginning of December 2023 this team was 5-20 and looking like they were headed for a top 5 pick again.

Flash Foward a year and a half later they're a 5th seed who just fought in a tough 7 game series. Perspective needs to be gained here.


All these reactionary post man

If he shows some more of those those threes he was hitting late in the season where it was from own creation and not camped in the corner.. now we're COOKING :o .. legit think him with more strength and comfortability driving is a game-changer, just think for him to get to that level will take some more strength training and offseason work.. can't wait tho

Franz shot 26% from 3 in the post season and 28% in regular season. Close to the worst in the entire NBA. It's gotta be his main focus.

Well 76s traded for Buddy Hield and gone fishing already.

Suggs is going to get the Mcdaniels contract and he deserves it. Franz I think will get an extension I hope it’s less than a max but won’t criticize the front office if it is. Franz is a hell of a player and we wouldn’t be at game 7 probably not have pushed it to 6 without him. He needs to get better but so does Paolo and Suggs. We are beating up more on the 22 year olds then the “veterans” who all completely laid eggs.
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

Correct, he was good in a non-elimination game at home that was a blowout.

Carter is trash.

Hitting a random 3 and not being able to grab rebounds or protect the rim is more important. He’s a liability. Sorry.

Franz needs to improve 100%. 1st playoff series ever. He improved on everything but 3pt shooting while Paolo also got his.

We don’t get here without Franz. He played some great defense.

Return to Orlando Magic
