I’m honestly just happy that we don’t have to hear Anfernee Simons name be brought up every other post.

I dont think we are done but this roster is 100K$ under the 1st apron
since we traded Cole, i think we ll get a microwave scorer like Clayton jr
I look forward to seeing our next moves
With this roster being under the 1st apron would we also have access to the full MLE?

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

Desmond Bane shot 39.2% from three this season & made 164 threes in 69 games.
An Orlando Magic player hasn't reached 160+ threes in a season since Terrence Ross in 2019-20.

Honestly I don't even need a championship next year. I'll simply take an offense outside of the bottom 10 for the first time in 13 years.

Not a fan of the price ya'll paid but Bane should be so sick on this roster.

Price a bit steep but acceptable for a player that pretty much directly addresses our issues and is a damn near perfect fit

If we trade Suggs because of this and it isn't an insane overpay by whoever we trade him to, this will go down as the worst trade in history and I'll become a new level of troll.
Worse than when we had people saying Evan Fournier was an allstar.
Not that many people would care, but I probably won’t be posting here much if this actually happens now.
It’s a very real possibility IMO.

Nothing is going to happen for a while. So we can enjoy your doom and gloom for at least another 12 months

reddit nba site isn't THAT bad, people just go over a top when you go on fan pages of teams. Going there you enter new worlds like "Tidjane Salaun

I like this, Bane is a good player, played with a great player and should make life easier for everyone.

Note from Keith Smith: Orlando will be hard-capped at the SECOND apron after this trade.
That is $207.8M.
Not that they will be anywhere close to that. Just something to keep in mind.

I have a feeling it will not be a good trade long term…but we will be better next season for sure so no one will be complaining just yet
