Exactly what this team needs, another player who refuses to shoot 3s because they cant


I know right, we need to bring in more guys that can shoot unless they are being defended or in the playoffs.

I swear some people just want to make a change for the sake of making a chance while disregarding whether or not it actually helps the team moving forward

The raptors became the best team in the league after trading him, even after kwahi left they were better without derozen
The spurs missed the playoffs for the first time in like 23 years this year while featuring derozen and another all star (aldridge) and being coached by the best coach of all time, whats going to happen when hes playing with Vuc and coached by cliff?

Sure he puts up good numbers, but hes not a winner in the 2020 nba mostly because he cant shoot from deep, something thats so critical to the modern league that some teams have changed their entire teams to focus just on 3pt shooting.

Oh and lets not forget that hes already 31. We're gonna give away a 24 year old AG and 22 year old bamba for guy already in his 30s? Thats what youre going to build around?? I remember the last time our GM tried to trade a young player for one of his old draft picks....how'd that work out for us??

Vuc-Chuma-aminu-derozen-fultz.............If that isnt the worst shooting team in the league, i cant think of who is, because.....wow, if JVG thought this year was the worst offense in the playoffs, he aint seen nothing yet!

Sorry but if we're trading AG it better be for a young player or the #1 pick (edwards), cause nothing else makes sense.

Reminds me of when the bucks traded Tobias Harris for a half season of JJ Redick, only to get swept in the first round of the playoffs... I wonder who the bucks GM was at the time... :roll:

Why are you guys focusing on Derozen?

There are two other Magic trades listed here which would have to include players / picks going back to Orlando.

Particularly AG to Portland.

Does a pick involving Anfernee Simmons + #16 pick + filler salary get the conversation started?

I’m not high on Simons. I don’t see him becoming an above average starter. I would look elsewhere if we’re looking to trade AG.

To be honest i thought it was a 3 team trade, didnt read the article


SO,
For the blazers, im not doing simons+15....thats not value. I like simons but hes not worth AG even with a mid rounder thrown in. hes 100% potential right now and hasnt shown enough, hell his own team benched him throughout the bubble for gary trent jr. Again, id like him, but im giving up AG for him. Not sure who i would try to trade for with AG to portland. CJ would be nice, but i dont think they are trying to break up that backcourt and are tryingto add to it. I might be willing to do zach collings+simons+16, but that would be a worst case scenario and not something id be happy doing

as for bamba........what do the raptors have? terence davis? id do that!

If I’m making trades for Orlando, I’m not making them to be competitive now for devaluing assets. This team isn’t anywhere near contending, even in the East.

I dont know, dont care, weham needs to make it happen

Nothing is off limits

AG or JI+15+future first+filler?
Vuc+15+filler while getting a 3rd team involved (minn has no use for vuc)
AG+fournier if he opts in+filler
etc

i really dont care. I want a full rebuild and would build around edwards, so pretty much whatever it take while still being semi-reasonable

I feel like I'll get slammed for this, but I'd do some kind of AG trade for a package that included Trent Jr. and Simons. I don't think we're going to get much for AG and I would take a solid 3 and D guy like Trent and a young guy with potential like Simons. I don't think we'd be able to snag CJ from Portland, and I honestly don't think that I would trade for that CJ contract anyways. He's got a fractured back right now. I know he's playing with it, and it seems like it may not be major, but a player entering his 30s with back problems, and huge contract... I don't know about that.

I would rather hold onto AG if that’s the best we can do (and I’m not saying we can do better). I would love to see what AG could do with a faster pace. Plus, with JI out, he may be able to increase his value even further this upcoming season.

This is fair. I'm more inclined to think the same way here as well. I want AG to be good in Orlando so bad, I just hate watching the same rollercoaster every year.

Honestly, a successful offseason IMO would look like getting Evan out of here, drafting the best available shooter, and using whatever cap we have to just get more offense. And pray Chuma can be special.

Gordon is now turning 25, any GM that does not feel like getting fired over span of 1 year won't attach much to player that makes almost $20M a year , who in 2020 can't shoot 3s at respectful level, can't really dribble, can't really drive, seems to be uninterested into moving without ball and who refuses to play as small ball screener, rather just runs into contested pullups that he can't make.

Gordon this year took 24% of all shots between 10 feet and 3 point line. He missed almost 70% of shots from that area. Add to that 31% of shots that he took for 3 ( 30,8% efficiency) and you get player that took 54% of shots at alarming 67-70% miss chance.

Gordon's best hope for long career is to go where new coach will cut his crap, put him into Maxi Kleber role, set screens, roll, shoot only when you are wide open, don't even think about attacking off dribble.

How trully terrible Gordon is when he tries to create own shots?
Well i pulled up all nba forwards, set "at least 100 FGA" from pull up jumpshots.
his 28% is second worst among 59 players, only one worst than him is RJ Barret. F**** rookie.

Yet he is in top 30 in shot attemps, with over 200 pull up jumpers taken.

https://stats.nba.com/players/pullup/?Season=2019-20&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&sort=PULL_UP_FG_PCT&dir=1&PerMode=Totals&PlayerPosition=F&CF=PULL_UP_FGA*GE*100 link if anybody is interested into looking at numbers :lol::


If only Minny didn't won lottery, they were perfect trade partner for pick + James Johnson for Gordon. Now there is zero chance they do that. Same with Hornets...
Maybe Pistons are dumb enough to do 7th pick, Snell and Kennard for Gordon and our pick.

Ideally we dump him for top 5 pick, but i highly doubt anybody would agree on that.

It s gonna be a Fun Summer for the MAgic


AG will be traded (hopefully to Min for Culver+johnson+17)

Vuc will be Traded too, it s a perfect time for a SELL HIGH
My guess:
#If Edwards is available at #2: Vuc for Wiggins+#2
Could even be part of a bigger trade Evan for GW s TPE + Pick

Curry,Evan,Klay,Green,Vuc = another Title in the Bag



Our lineup

#Draft Aleksej Pokuševski with #15
#Trade #17 for future 1st

Fulz,culver,MCW
Edwards,Culver,Ross
Wiggins,Chuma,iwundu
Aminu,Johnson ,Aleksej Pokuševski (Isaac on the IL)
Mo,Birch
Suggs, AB, Tyus, Jase

Oh and lets not forget that hes already 31. We're gonna give away a 24 year old AG and 22 year old bamba for guy already in his 30s? Thats what youre going to build around?? I remember the last time our GM tried to trade a young player for one of his old draft picks....how'd that work out for us??

Vuc-Chuma-aminu-derozen-fultz.............If that isnt the worst shooting team in the league, i cant think of who is, because.....wow, if JVG thought this year was the worst offense in the playoffs, he aint seen nothing yet!

Sorry but if we're trading AG it better be for a young player or the #1 pick (edwards), cause nothing else makes sense.


Reminds me of when the bucks traded Tobias Harris for a half season of JJ Redick, only to get swept in the first round of the playoffs... I wonder who the bucks GM was at the time... :roll:


Let’s at least make sure our trolling the FO narrative is consistent...could that be why they now avoid negative wingspan, lack of positional size guys that can shoot at an elite level?

I know right, we need to bring in more guys that can shoot unless they are being defended or in the playoffs.


I swear some people just want to make a change for the sake of making a chance while disregarding whether or not it actually helps the team moving forward

The raptors became the best team in the league after trading him, even after kwahi left they were better without derozen

Getting Aminu + Okeke back healthy and adding a MLE signing and the 15th pick to this existing roster and grinding out another 37-42 wins is so boring and dull that it seems like the exact thing they’ll do.
