Official 2024-2025 Magic General Season Thread I

So what?

Those guys played last night and Knicks beat them anyway. Magic need to do the same at home. Maxey's out and both PG and Embiid are on minutes restrictions.

But the Knicks are fully healthy to compete and beat embiid & George. We aren't. The magic have seem to struggle against Philly with our without embiid. The magic being home helps, but this team seems to struggle against veteran heavy teams in the past.

So, Harris is out of the rotation? Cole is out of the rotation?

Somebody called that. Kudos to them. Stay winning with those takes.

I'm honestly ready to roll with Goga. If we can move WCJ out for something of value (in a package with Cole?)...it would do a lot to clean our books going forward. WCJ, as one of the most underpaid guys in the league, was fine...but when his extension kicks in, all of his missed time will haunt us. We can't be betting on both Isaac AND WCJ, IMO - and now, Isaac's extension is so much better (along with his defensive impact)...I'd absolutely consider WCJ trade fodder.

Unfortunately, he can't be moved until the summer. 6 month trade restriction on his extension goes past this year's trade deadline.

For what it's worth, I don't think Gary is out of the rotation.

He was +55 across the previous three games and had made 40% of his threes over the previous 4 games.

I just think they're gonna probably not push him in many back to backs.

Cole I think will be in and out of the rotation.

I think this is a good move. Guy needs to see some shots go through in game situations.

Oh - that's right. Well, summer it is then...especially if Goga maintains & WCJ continues to be in & out (which certainly won't help his value)

For all of my support for a trade for Simons (Herro, Sexton, Schroder, etc)...I'd really like to see what Jett could do with some opportunity...especially now that AB is showing some playmaking. I'd like to give Jett something of the same green light I'd extend to Simons (at least as an experiment)...that quick release is really something. Those two may still prove to be a good draft.

Thought he defended Haliburton pretty good at least once last night. I'd be happy to see him get 15 min most nights.
