The Anti-Thankgivings thread: Magic style.

I believe our Magic is under performing. By a long way.

Let's have a lambast to provide a Happy Thanksgiving to how they can improve.

I believe we have had the easiest schedule of any team currently, and this is our record. I'd be down to blow it all up. Keep AG/Hezonja/Biyombo and use everything else for picks / other young talent.

I'll eat crow.

I thought the big boy ball could work. It obviously isn't. I don't think AG should be at the 3, he looks shaken out there lately.

Play Ibaka at the 5, his lateral quickness stinks anyway. Gordon at the 4. Anyone but Jeff Green at the 3. I think we'd at least be more functional to watch.

Oh and get rid of that dingus Hennigan. "Defense wins championships" no longer applies in today's NBA. we need to score some baskets.
Favorite Magic players of all time:
1. Dennis Scott
2. Andrew Nicholson
3. Anthony "no-neck" Johnson

This is the problem. Even if, by some miracle, the team did improve, the harder schedule wouldn't allow for an improvement in win-loss record.

Keep everyone on the roster till the off-season so the next GM can impart his vision on the roster and let the bad contracts come off the books. No panic trades, just "compete" until the season end and let the results reveal the true keepers on this roster.

Elf
Evan
Mario
AG
Biz

Let's see what we have with this young core and blow everything else up. Trade Vuc and Ibaka for picks and young prospects && brace for the draft.

Lol. There is no single realistic target that will make this team good.

Might be a tough pill to swallow but the best chance we have of getting talent on this team is through the draft.

We should have tanked correctly instead of being good enough to not pick in the top 3. That is on Henny. Fire him, get someone who is known for getting drafting well and finding good players late in the draft, trade everyone for picks, call up d-league guys who have some promise, and do the tank correctly.

For: AG/Hezonja/Biyombo,; I see all three as tradable assets. For me, the team must be built around Payton, Fournier, and Vučević. So we respectfully disagree about the future of this team.

when Serge is in with Biz, let Serge eat offensively and let Biz swarm on D
when Biz and Serge are in, let em both swarm on D and let Ev eat on offense

I feel like you guys are taking our defense for granted... Either that or you don't watch that half of our games...
