Paolo could be a superstar…but he is NOT a Center, regardless of his size. He’s a lot more 2 or 3 than 5 in the way that he plays.

NAAAAAAH. look at that lineup. There would be a lot of bricks on their shooting. Some ball would def find their way to them.

So I guess we're running it back..... Again..... Kick the can down the road another season and hope we're healthy enough to make the play in.....to be fair it wasn't really the strongest free agent class.... But I should've saw this coming, this was probably the way it was going to play out when we moved the G league team closer... The rooks probably are not playing a lot with us bringing everybody back at least not at first.... So we'll spend half the season showcasing Gary Harris? Fultz? For a trade while our rooks are 10~15 minutes away getting their reps in the G league?

I really do believe moves will be made next off season or the following off season. I have sais this before, but I don't believe making the play ins/playoffs is really the priority next season; if they do that is fine, if they don't that is fine as well. It's about continued growth and figuring out who is staying and who is going.

If you guys believe we almost made the play-in then there really is no point to spend for this free agency. Next year’s class is much better and clearly, with the contracts we offered, it is clear cap flexibility for next year is the target.

Consider internal growth and no key losses heading into next year, then we may really be in the playoff next year. Plus, major cap space for next summer. Making the playoffs next season and having major cap space makes us a good attractive destination for free agents.

So it's +35,000 to win an NBA championship. Do I get $35m on a $1000 bet if they win?

Oh. I thought it was 1000x35000, which equals 35 million. So you're say 3.5 million based on the number of zeroes?

Oh, okay. I was going to say $35m would be tempting.

What's the odds that we play OKC on Christmas this year? The Chet vs. Paolo matchup that didn't happen yet.

Sorry man, NBA is ignoring Paolo completely. The young stars match is definitely Wemby vs OKC.

What's your upside pick for Orlando next season? I'm picking the 6th seed as the upside scenario.
