If they get Ball, it'll take until the end of the year to gel

Magic most defenetly NEED to find veterans to put around those kids.
We know for fact what happends when you put too hands in cookie jar. Oladipo already went in details how too many young players hurted each other and stunth each other's developement and working against each other- also hurted team rebuild.


There is good reason OKC keeps Al Horford around or how Chris Paul on his own turned Suns around into respectful team or how Hawks finally look like a team, after adding Galo, Bogdan and Rondo in lockeroom.

Those vets don't have to be 30 mpg -30% usage rate player. But they have to be no BS type guys. I don't care, bring David West in to bitc* slap them from time to time.

I assume they're planning to sign some with their newly found cap space in the summer. before the new batch of young guys arrive.

Magic fans, what's the deal with Aminu? Has he been hurt all season long?

I'm okay with JI and Fultz being the veteran leadership.

Not sure. He had a minor injury that turned into a year long recovery. He also just sucks. He’s terrible most of the time so don’t expect much from him.

Kinda crazy.... but same. Those two both have leadership qualities that will begin to shine more and more.

He was injured to start the year. But he's just started to get back into game shape and had a great game the other night. He should be a servicable backup PF to help you guys in your playoff push.

Want to add that he should help you guys defensively and is a really underrated rebounder. You'll notice that pretty instantly. Vuc will obviously help on the boards as well. Hope you guys appreciate Vuc! He should be great for you alongside the great offensive talent of Lavine.

To follow up, he should be able to provide a good game every once in a while. He just does more on the court than he should.

On another note, I'm very interest to watch the Lavine/Vuc P&R

Aminu will be solid fit with Bulls. Nobody will ask him to take any shots, he can rebound and he is solid and annoying defender.

Bulls have lot of offensive options and they should be fine, he will be back at his Blazers - " pls don't try anything on offense" role.

Bulls fans what's the deal with Wendell ?How da hell he ended up being benched for Thad Young at center?
