Vuc is the man. Let's win at least 60% of our last game and kill that tank.
Go magic

Some people simply can't look bigger picture, or God forbid, plan for future.

You must be in the .01% population who believe we will win a championship by 2030. I appreciate the optimism but there comes a time when it's boarding blindness and lack of common awareness.

We lost without him. Do I see a pattern? Shut him down for the season.

That was the closest game weve had vs the hornets since I can't even remember. Green is just an awful basketball player. The bench actually didn't look bad yesterday. Big part with Jodie back in. Kinda crazy but how much better he makes the bench by being out there.

Even Zach Lowe tweeted that yesterday was the best he saw the Magic move the ball this year. The No Jeff Green and Serge Ibaka effect

I looked at the remaining schedule, I think we'll finish with 28-30 wins, the biggest worry is New York. I think Philly and Sacramento have 29-31 wins in them, New York don't have an easy schedule and tanking it hard. Outside of winning the #1 pick I'd love to get #2 and take LA out of the top 3 with someone else jumping to #1. If we did that then held LA ransom for Ball and ended up with a pick swap, Clarkson, Ingram, and Randle (I think they'd give up that for him) for Bull and selected Tatum at #4 that would be amazing

I'd then look to trade #23, Vucevic and/or Fournier to Sacramento for their #6 and/or #9 and target Ntilkinas and Hartenstein and draft and stash them both

Payton/Clarkson
Ross/Hezonja
Tatum/Ingram
Gordon/Randle
Biyombo/Zimmerman

I really like those lineups moving forward, scoring and defence in both. I also like that it gives us a year to look at the players until the 2 draft and stash guys come over. The pressure is off that young team, and at least they'd be fun to watch!

Two major threats to the tank: NY may lose out from here; and Detroit, who we play twice, has lost 6 in a row...

If by some miracle we are in Ball range.....We are keeping Lonzo Ball. Why would we want to trade away arguably the best player in the draft for the LA rejects?

Suns have no shame. Down by 30 against the Nets

PrimeThyme · Post #1212 » by **PrimeThyme** » Fri Mar 24, 2017 1:57 am

Knicks sitting Melo, Rose, and Thomas against Portland. Were officially the only bad franchise that wont commit to the tank. Smh

It's called developing a winning culture though! I just know by year 6 things will turn around. I mean.. just look at the jump we made from last year.

I don't understand why management won't sit guys... It does this team no favors UNLESS they somehow manage to land in the top 3 of the draft.

I mean for goodness sake we ALL know most of this team won't be here within a year or two. This "Winning Culture" nonsense starts with actual talent.

It's quite frustrating. All we can do is hope we lose on our own without tanking. We gonna beat the nets twice. We gotta lose all the other games and hope for the best.
