Let's discuss our Orlando Magic.

rcklsscognition · Post #2 » by **rcklsscognition** » Wed Dec 13, 2017 4:50 am

Orlando Magic: E.Fournier, A.Gordon, S.Mack, J.Simmons, N.Vucevic.

This is the best lineup in the NBA. Over 10 games, they've posted a +54.4 NET RTG and a 72% True Shooting. Alas, the lineup swapping Mack for Payton is used 4x more often and is a Negative 11.7 NET.
Magic people, if you're reading this, please check your lineup stats. All of your main lineups are totally ass.

That’s quiet an intro. I’m not sure if winning is the best bet at this point. That ship sailed. Chicago with 3 game win streak. Smell that? It’s exhaust fumes from our tank!

i would give Mack some bigger PT. At least he doesn't suck on defense like other two PGs. He also has great turnover to assist rate.

I take this as not a sign of Mack's greatness, but... our need to get proper starting PG.

While I agree, should be noted that Mack is 6th in the NBA in assist percentage and 1st in Assist ratio, 3rd in ast/to. Some qualities we should look for in a new PG.

Also interesting that Vuc is 2nd in the NBA in restricted area FG% and AG comes in right behind him at 3rd.

It's been apparent that we need to upgrade our starting PG spot. What's going on with George Hill?

Might be waiting for tomorrow. All the players signed to new contracts over the summer, like George Hill, will be eligible for trades.

DjPuffnStuff · Post #18 » by **DjPuffnStuff** » Wed Dec 13, 2017 3:40 pm

Who would we trade? And are we willing to take on his contract? ( 3yr-57m. 40m guaranteed. 3rd year 1m guaranteed)

Read on Twitter

Maybe they'll be good. Logo is abysmal.

I wonder if we will have any deals on the table for tomorrow?

I can almost guarantee something will happen by the trade deadline, but I'm wondering if WeHam wants to wait to see if a superstar will become available or something.....Alot can happen between now and then.
