No...Not really. Elfrid was on Irving, Green was on Lebron and Evan was supposed to be on Smith.

Ah, OK. Well, this blaming Fournier for every JR three thing has been going on for a while now, and I'm sure that at least some of that was unwarranted.

We got 37 in the last quarter. At least we can say the second half wasn't so terrible.

The Harris trade looks real bad now given what they need now...

The guy that couldn't guard and shoot when he was here?

Harris played more than passably on defense. Check the advanced stats.

I trust Vogel he will find the right lineup

The Magic need to play a complete game. Give the guys credit for fighting back but they were down by almost 30 again. Still a disjointed effort.

Now it looks like a much bigger mistake now...

AG is more of a SF than Tobias. He can guard the position. Tobias can not.

Magic showed a great comeback against the champs on their home court. Those missed free throws killed us in the end. All the whack touch fouls for the Cavs sure sucked too.

Problem is Vogel said AG at the 3 will be ugly and take a while. I think management wants him there.

Believe me when I say that I want Harris back but I don't remember winning a Cavs game with Harris on the team.

Nah Evan only blew it on that last 3. Elfrid was closest to Smith on his first 2 late in the game.

Apparently we've lost 15 straight games to the Cavs now. Cool.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

DJ gets the first moral sweater vest. Ibaka a close second.

But really, trade Vuc start Ibaka at the 5 and get back an Ariza type of wing. I think a guy like him would do wonders for our team.

To be fair, everyone seems to be doing much better the moment they leave the Magic and I actually liked moving Harris. Just didn't like the return. :nonono:

Hennigan is watching and evaluating too. Decent chance a big gets traded in the coming months.

Possible trade targets:

Carmelo- If things go south (or stay south) in New York. Maybe a Vuc + Evan + picks gets it done.

Brandon knight- coming off the bench now. Not sure what the Suns would want, but he's a combo guard who can score it.

Gordon heyward- been rumored the Jazz want to move him.

Rudy Gay- same as above.

Just double the money you initially invested (usually).

Hmmm... seems like an easy way to double your savings in 2 hours :o
