Easy to forget the vibe...can't wait to feel his intensity back on the court.

As it stands now, we got a lot younger this year. Bane and Isaac are the vets at 27. Moe just turned 28.

Sign Tyus Jones to the mid-level, re-sign Mo and call it a free agency.

I remember Weltman and Hammond having dinner with him back in 2019, so they have a relationship with him.

Hawks win a bidding war if that’s what matters to NAW?

Adding Lonzo was the 1st sign.

I dont see us going for NAW. He doesnt give us great ball handler and we have enough defenders

I think we need a guard with length, over a 6'9" wingspan.

Bobby Marks did a column for ESPN.com where he listed what every NBA team should do this summer.

For Orlando he said sign Tyus Jones to a 2-year deal for the taxpayer MLE (11.65M total).

Correct me if I am wrong but the Magic have until tomorrow to decide on Mo, Correct?

Correct.

Sunday for Houstan.

Ty Jerome did not look good in the 2nd round of the Playoffs. Whatever new team gets him will point to recency bias because his 1st round and regular season were still great. He was young in playoffs experiences too.

He might be in the lab this summer looking at that 2nd round tape and dissecting it, improving on it. He has a cerebral and crafty way of scoring in the paint without getting that close to the rim. It reminded me of Franz Wagner at times. And then the elite shooting is the main draw, of course. Point guard mindset too.

I’m surprised there’s not more NAW fans in here. Back then when WeHam did that draft interview with him, there was a lot of people on this board saying to pick NAW in the draft. That was the reason I became a NAW fan, I agreed with the opinions.

I love the guy...I just don't love the fit here (same as KCP) - given the finances. Any team would be better off adding NAW or KCP or AB...you just might not want to spend X% of your cap on similar guys if you already have a couple similar ones.

If money wasn't an issue, I'd say get three NAW's...but we have to make some compromises (ask Moe)

I think the majority of the board wanted to pick him. Then he had a few good summer league games, and we'd post his stats.

Re: Moe

the absolute dumbest thing ORL could do would be to exercise his option and pay him $11m largely to rehab and ramp up and then watch him become a UFA next summer when more teams have money to burn. This is absolutely the time to negotiate a multi-year deal and take losing him off the table as something to worry about.

But, he has to be realistic as it relates to his leverage or lack of...the second-best choice would be to say goodbye if a favorable deal can't be made.

Jase and Tyus can’t be on the floor at the same time. Which I guess isn’t a big deal given one is a backup and the other is 3rd string.

What does the guard lineup look like if Suggs misses 15 games?

I’m good with NAW.

Does the FO add a legitimate starting (scoring) guard to the roster this summer?
