Official Speculation Thread '20-'21 VI: "I like this team"

[RookieStar]

No one has see Okeke with a basketball in 21 months. I'm starting to worry.

Same.. whaat is up with him?

Who knows? I was searching players instagrams to get a clip of him practicing but nothing. On Tross' Instagram you can see Cole, Vuc, Fultz, Mo, but no Chuma.

Hopefully it's another example of the lack of any hype by the front office. The same with Fultz last year.

Even with Fultz we saw on video hisnprogress in the gym. With Chuma, it's like area 51.

Does the guy have twitter/fb/insta/etc? Anykne friends or connected that can give us some info?

He has Twitter and Instagram but he's been a ghost since he signed.

Anyone else imagine WeHam coming to these boards after deciding to run it back for 8-10 seed based on their reading here.

He would rehab in relative anonymity.

Now, Okeke said is doing skill and conditioning drills. He said the knee is feeling stronger. And he is hoping to be ready for training camp.

Noticed Mane got a locker with his name on it, from his IG story. Thought of a good nickname for him, Easy Mane.

So over/under Okeke would average 15mins a game due to his "recovery"

LOL seriously though, wonder why there weren't any leaks of him shooting 3s 10x in a row in an empty gym ? The scrubiest of scrubs in the league can do that.

[SOUL]

Okeke will be fine. Remember the pre-season discussion if Fultz will even play during the season because of his injury and because of our front office being mum on things? Relax.

[MagicFan101]

What incentives might the Hornets / Celtics be offering a team willing to take on a year of Batum to help facilitate the Hayward deal?

First round picks? Young talent stuck on their deep bench?

Obviously we can’t participate without them taking someone back so it’s not really relevant to Orlando unless Boston is interested in someone we want to give up ... such as Evan or AG.

Still, it is interesting ...

I wish I shared your optimism. Lol hard to view the positive and gioeful outlooks when you are a Magic fan.

But here's hoping you are right

Eh, it's less optimism (hard to get optimistic about this team) but just a general view towards life. None of these situations are anything I can personally change (who we pick, what news we see, updates, injuries, etc). Just gotta deal with it as they come. People wasted hours of their day arguing if Fultz would even play and the guy was on the court for us during our first game, so not gonna speculate on Okeke until we get actual news confirming what role he will or won't play for us. I'm assuming they will start him off slowly like we do with anybody young.

Did anyone watch Cade Cunningham tonight?

21 pts, 11 reb, 3 ast, 5 TO, 7-16 FG, 2-5 3PT, 5-7 FT.

It wasn’t a flawless performance, but you can clearly see the appeal as a big wing with skills.

He would be a bench player on the Magic.

Let me go full pepe on you and say... *he was against nobodies whose basketball future are the sunday pickupgames in the local YMCA*

He'd have to prove it in practice first that he's better than James Ennis.

Cole Anthony would be considered a chucker who can't pass with that same exact stat line.

Cole Anthony is considered a chucker who doesn’t pass because of his own stat line. It’s not some contrived conspiracy to undermine all things Orlando Magic. Or do you suppose that the 14 teams that drafted ahead of us were all in on the conspiracy? Good players don’t often put together a season like the one Anthony had at UNC.

Cunningham would be a decent understudy for Fournier/Ennis. Perhaps after a couple years on our bench, Clifford might be able to teach him how to win. The result might be a really solid role player.

If you are picking those top-5 guys, you better hope they are chuckers lol

[Nyce_1]

So Cade.....yeah, trade everyone making over $10M now.

Full tank mode. Who gives a crap about 8th seed, lol.

[Popsicle1228]

I just stopped in to say that after 26 years of devoted Magic fandom, I am the least interested in this team than I ever have been. The teams situation and lack of meaningful activity for so many years is finally catching up to me. The one thing I can look forward to is Alex Martins year 2030 promise. I guess

[OrlandoMagic]

So when is the next draft? Cause that’s gonna be the next thing I’m looking forward to with the Magic this season. Practically staying still has made us worse coming into this year.
