I'd settle for a Gortat caliber player.

What does everyone think of Royce White for a SF?


Man I really liked his game he kinds of reminds me of LBJ poor mans version at least. He seems to have a fear of flying, but i like his all around game.

Who knows... we might have already drafted good talent... maybe not a "Harden" or "Ibaka" type of player, but maybe good players in general... if freakin SVG would have played guys like Liggins, Harper, and Orton more this year, then we might have developed some nice young talent by now... and they would have confidence/experience gained which they can use to improve over the summer and play better next season.

I mean look at Doc Rivers playing guys like Bradley, Stiesma, and Hollins this season... they've all ended up becoming really good key players, playing huge roles in the playoffs in their 1st or 2nd-year in the league.

I think Liggins has the tools to be a REALLY good player... defensively and offensively imo.

This organization doesn't take the time to develop players and they don't draft/scout well unfortunately... that's holding us back big time.

Did you intend have 2/5 of our starting lineup play primary bench roles as well?


Bench unit defined as 3/5 of the unit composed of bench players. You will play varying combinations of course and you will try to avoid bench units (3/5 bench players on the court) but by nature of minute distribution when you do play a bench unit guys 1-2 on average will be the two starters filling out the unit.

This Is an amateur organization right now, they are afraid to make any moves because they don't have a plan in place, they are not confident in finding better replacements for Otis or even Stan, they will hold on to these 2 until they get a few guys interested in the job, so they will basically pull a Miami dolphins by trying to hire new guys when they still have the old ones in place, not many people will be interested in secret meanings with a gm And coach still on the team

ADAM DONE WENT AND DROPPED A BOMB

Adam Papageorgiou ‏@adamosgp
Either Ray Allen's mom is at CityWalk, or her doppelgänger is. This night just got really weird.


Adam Papageorgiou ‏@adamosgp
Take this with a grain of salt, but Ray Allen's mom wants Ray Ray to play for the Magic next season and that there's a real possibility.


STRAP IN AMIRITE

But seriously, Ray Allen would be incredible on this team.

That's it. I'm sold on this. Otis Smith literally negotiates and targets his desired free agents' moms to acquire them. Did it with Dwight, doing it with Ryan, and now Ray Allen's mom. It all makes too much sense.

But in seriousness, every championship team needs a locker room leader, a professional veteran who can instill a sense of urgency and hard work in the rest of the team, and a calm and collected guy who isn't rattled by the big stage. I'd welcome him with open arms. May not put up huge numbers but he'd keep the team together and working hard every day.

That was an unexpected Red Coconut surprise. :lol: I guess Ray Ray's mom lives here in Orlando. Her group was celebrating someone's 40th birthday. I was out celebrating 2 of my friends' birthdays. I'm not one to bother 'celebrities' or 'public figures', but my friends are. Either Ray Ray's mom has that lie on lockdown, or I did stumble upon a scoop.
