Isaac and Fultz need to be the focus next season.

Again 2 forced drives by MCW without passing the ball even 1 time. He is my 4th fav. player this season, because of his defense & hustle but today he annoys me.

He's trying to get a contract next year

Shocker. Actually give Isaac a chance to get involved in the offense and look what happens.

MCW fouls out lol. He needs to just play within the offense

MCW needs to be told to stop trying to score. Cliff needs to reign him in.

The Magic don't really need Bamba if their front court rotation is going to be between Vucevic, Birch, and Isaac playing spot minutes at 5. I don't think it was a bad pick, so much as really poor asset management. It's the same reason I was always skeptical about drafting Okeke while signing Aminu the same summer with Isaac and Gordon already here.

I could see Gordon and Bamba being shopped as a package deal.

probably the best course of action at this point

Does a Gordon + Bamba + #15 + future pick(s) get us on the phone with Washington in regards to Beal?

I've always thought about this deal in context of Beal and Booker. I feel like Washington could get better offers, but this would be the crux of our deal. I feel like the Magic have to make a move for on of these kinds of players and consolidate the excess on this roster.

And DJ had to come back in and risk injury cause of MCW

Bamba was fined for attitude issues before so who knows.

This isn't true. He was late to a practice.

You dont get suspended from games for being late for practice. There was more for sure.

Yes you do lol. You're doing some TMZ ****.. you don't know it was "attitude issues"

I would get Ross and Augustin off the floor.

What are we doing here? It's a 24 point game with 5 minutes left. Get them out.

Something is up, and I knew it during the exhibition games where he was barely splitting backup minutes. This is deeper than conditioning. He's out of the rotation at this point.

Mo looks disconnected

FAT BAMBA IS GARBAGEEEEEE

Post #259 » by **ChosenSavior** » Fri Jul 31, 2020 8:55 pm

This has been an ugly finish to this quarter.

Just cannot keep a lead can they?
