AG has decent moves just isn’t quick enough with the ball. Gotta look up.

If Vuc stays as a focal point of the team on offense or defense next year I'm not gonna watch a lot of games even with our new players. Fine player, had a solid Magic career and not to blame for everything, but enough is enough.

Get. Vuc. Going.
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.

Either Hezonja has checked out for about the past month now or he's regressed back to last year no handle, no shot, complete useless player.

ChosenSavior wrote:And to the people worrying about how embarrassing we'll look for firing a coach so early, we are already an embarrassment in the NBA. There isn't a single player, executive, writer, etc who thinks we are a legitimate organization. We have a coach who is currently 50-104 and has not shown a single positive trait in his two years with the ball club. He had these traits of not developing young guys properly, staying with lineups too long, cannot adapt in game in Indiana but it was masked by a far better roster with a legit star in Paul George. Frank looks completely broken at this point and is aging rapidly. He is as much a problem with the culture here as the roster. They are both awful and need to be rebuilt from the ground up.

Weltman/Hammond are going to have a very busy summer cleaning all of this up. I'm looking forward to a hopefully exciting offseason for once.

Couldn't have said this any better.

That's not going to happen, so I am not concerned about it.


I just don't understand how smart basketball people need a whole basketball season to evaluate the garbage that is this team.

Hopefully how we're playing can carry over to our important tank matchups coming up.

The fans have as many FGs in the quarter as the Magic.

Sal hinkie is a genious... He doesnt had a brilliant idea But he had the guts to pull it trough. Its hard to watch this game and thinking they were the laughin stock of the league just 1 por 2 years ago. Crazy and sad At the time

Because smart people don't walk in and rebuild a team overnight. That's how you get bad deals and never crawl out of this. Better to let Vogel dig himself a hole so he an get canned, while we keep losing games and get another pick and they identify who they want to keep.

By next season they will have Isaaac AG and another lottery pick to build around and most likely a new coach.

Not sure what they could have done short term that would have made any sense.


Look, I agree with not coming in immediately and clearing house but if they don't get something of major value back with any of their trades this summer, half of this year was a waste.


Why? Would you rather be mediocre and have a bad pick or suck and have a top 5? I guess that's why I believe what they are doing makes more sense.
