There are still questions about most of the guys but that draft class is looking really good. Scottie has made a HUGE leap this year.

Tonight was the Magic's 7th victory of the season where they made fewer than 10 three pointers.

That's the most in the NBA.

He's a fantastic player. Not sure who said he would be good before that draft, but somebody did :wink:

Narrow path to victory with that formula

Sure and then pay Goga 20 mil per next season and find a WCJ quality center for his value to the bench. Easy.

Goga is not getting anywhere near $20 mil.
His contract would look something like Moe. 2/$16 millions.

If you can get goga for 8 mil a year you do that deal and trade Wendell for someone who can hit a 3

I think Goga will come in at more than 8, but less than 20.

He’s a good starter for us that fits well but there is no way that a guy averaging 7.0ppg/5.9rpg/1.7bpg is getting 20 mil. 8-14 is going to be his range whether it’s with us or someone else. And I just can’t see him wanting to leave if he’s the starter and gets a ~30-40 mil secured bag (total).

I like this spin. Instead of being the worst 3pt shooters, we’re the best at winning without using the 3 effectively. 8-)

The starting center spot belongs to Goga. It shouldn't even be a discussion.

Im starting to wonder if "knee tendinitis" is code for would rather play someone else.

I remember calling him a Giannis type player before the draft. Then, a poster named Fraschilla came here for a couple of weeks and kept posting that Barnes wasn't good. As it got closer to the draft, I wanted Kuminga.

A note about last night game. We only suited up roughly around $55m worth of players last night, and $75m were out.

A poster here stated that if you can't shoot 36% from 3, you aren't a good shooter. Franz 29%, Black 36%, and Suggs 37%.

I'm only using the logic I've heard here for years from a poster.
