When Nuggets played years ago,there was story that few players ( read : him and Melo ) got so high before practice that they had to be carried away from practice....

Good lord Duke isn't fair. Zion and RJ both look incredible.

Atlanta tanks 2 years and can have Trae Young and RJ Barrett/Williamson or Reddish.

Boys, Zion, Cam, Rj are the real deal, franchise changing players.

Wonder if Bamba shoots better from 3 then Trae this year? Right now it's 286 to 263.

We might have to wait before we trade Evan and/or Vuc before we can get this tank back on track

Yes they are, was waiting to see what they did against serious competition and they all showed out. Still early in the season but they destroyed a good Kentucky team with ease.

I thought Grimes and Langford both looked good as well as all three Duke kids obviously.

Throw in Little from UNC and that's 6 guys that could all potentially really help the Magic. I don't know if Orlando will fall much lower than 6th all things considered.

If the price wasn't too high, I'd be willing trade for Rozier right now just to get his RFA status heading into the summer.

Anyone know where to get alerted for ticket deals? I thought the Magic app did them but not sure.

I'm at the point this season after watching this terrible PG rotation and knowing that this team won't tank that Id definitely go all in on Rozier. Id easily do that deal and add in the OKC first. && im someone that has been rather hesitant to the idea of signing him to big money this summer but trading for Rozier and than adding an elite wing or SG in next years draft is hard to pass up.

Rozier/Langford (or grimes)/Isaac/AG/Bamba going into next season. Sign me up.

I agree. Id rather tank but if we arent going to do that then sure go for it. I think Boston would want more though. They love fleecing teams.

Rozier % are very bad, if you remove the play off last years, the guy isnt worth big bucks

I wouldnt mind him here but i wouldnt spend huge amount of money on him

look at the PG available next summer

https://hoopshype.com/2018/08/09/nba-free-agency-2019-point-guards/

i d rather Max out Kemba

i wouldnt mind Dinwiddie too (Height: 6'4.5” Wingspan: 6'8.25”.), he wants to be a starter and knows that he will not be that in brooklyn, We can give him that here

Not sure why is Rozier complaning, 23 mpg for somebody who shoots 35% from the floor never gets to FT line and had overall 1 good game since season started.
When you go through their game logs, he almost every game has worst +/-
