If anyone thought Evan was a good player at any point, I question that individual's basketball judgment.

I'd question yours as well for making such an extreme statement.

You are talking about a guy who shot 40% from 3 last year.

Oh, he shot 40% from 3. Well, I am totally wrong and that is the only stat that decides how good/average/bad a player is.

I apologize.

Give him a break it's one game lol.

>55% TS in 3 of the last 4 seasons, he has the body of work and large enough sample size to prove he's a shot maker. He's just sort of inconsistent

Players love the shooting sight lines at Amway - that is until they join the Magic :wink:

Alright, now we need the Kings to win their winable game tonight. They're really in the tank race now.

One or both of them need to go ASAP. They clearly are in love with each other on the basketball court.

Idk its just when things get tough the players on our team get selfish. I've seen it with many guys on our team but obviously Evan touches the ball more. We go one on 5.

Ross-Hezonja would be a nice wing tandem. Both have potential as two-way players

I'd like to see you guys sign a real starting PG like Teague or George Hill

Teague/Hill
Ross
Hezonja
Gordon
Biyombo? idk lol

Put on a Magic jersey and your percentages plummet. Happens all the time.

I know us on here believe the team is tanking, It looked like watching this game, the team is in communication to purposely lose this game. We had a good lead on the Blazers at times, I don't believe the team was trying to go out all out to win tonight's game. Tonight's game and probably some other losses were lost on purpose.

Your statement was over the top and foolish. Even though Evan was bad tonight, most people still consider him to be a good player.

Apology accepted.

Give it time. Won't be long before the Payton fan boy starts blaming Ross for Elfs mediocrity.

Shot distribution will start spreading out a little more. Happy to see Mario play ok. Queue the overreaction. Good to see Nik get to the ft line.

Replace Teague/Hill with Ball/Fultz. That's what we're shooting for.

Trying to part with the Vuc and Fournier tandem will be hard since those guys are the ones who gave Rob the wink-wink discounts. Not sure who to keep with Vuc improved this year but ditching both would be agent suicide.

PennytoShaq · Post #554 » by **PennytoShaq** » Fri Feb 24, 2017 2:43 am

____ Elf

Ross Evan

____ Mario

Gordon_____

______ Vuc Biz

This is how I see our team right now. We need 2 to 3 starters this summer, even if we draft them.

Woke up today excited for potential trades and perhaps a brighter future for the Magic. Now the day is over and I'm once again disappointed in the front office, and the team once again sucked it up with the Fournier/Vuc connection being selfish ballhogs who lose us games. I'm at an all time low with this franchise.

our commentary crew is more annoying to me than our garbage team. we get it. you want schools to make more money off teenage athletes. give it a rest.

George Hill will get a very hefty contract offer from us.

Sure, but can you guys tank that hard? You got ground to make up on a few other teams

Or maybe the lottery balls roll the right way for you
