ummmm... Fournier with 29 and Vooch with 37....they...they do have it.

Sure, if "it" is 2 playoff wins in 6 years.

I like the idea of Isaac-Chuma-Vuc actually if we can somehow get a dynamic guard duo.

** Jalen Green or Jalen Suggs say hello **

It was pretty interesting watching the lineup that closed out the Warriors, MCW, Ross, Fournier, Chuma, and Vuc, because 4 out of 5 guys were legit 3 point threats. I honestly can't remember a lineup in the recent past that would've had more shooting ability.

With that said, It honestly would be interesting to see Markelle subbed into that lineup, as a shot creator and better distributor.

Buy ya, It does make you wonder what a lineup featuring JI, Chuma, Vuc could produce. With an additional shooter at the 2 (assuming this is Evan's last year in Orlando). ,

I just hope these meaningless wins are just to showcase Evan and Vuc for trades. Because trying to win this season is asinine.

These guys are never leaving, we're going to be stuck with them for a while
Evan will be here for at least 4 more years

Vuc is an all star this year. He is hooping

Solid victory for the good guys.

I feel like we will regret going all out to beat these bottom feeder teams at the end of the year. Fournier should be moved.

Said it for me, good enough to beat the bottom feeders consistently and snatch some wins from others. Pure first round exit territory. Would I want the Magic to prioritize offense for our rookies, over a duo who we have seen where it leads for the last 6 years? Damn right I do

Vuc can keep doing what he's doing, he's a legit fringe all star, but running everything through Vuc / Evan / Ross is just pointless for the future of our franchise. Oh and another DNP for our 6th pick

He's doing well on offense.

At this point I've given up this battle. They won't tank and they won't trade anyone. We'll be mediocre for next several years. Just have to get lucky I guess with the next draft pick and having Fultz/Isaac return fully healthy and improved.

No "it" as in this game that currently ended since...you know... thats what was being referenced. Please explain how Chuma taking more shots in this game changes the past 6 years?

I've stopped watching the Magic and moved my interest to the Mavs and sometimes the Hawks. I collect Luka and Trae cards so I've been following them more. Both teams are way more entertaining than the Magic and have way brighter futures. All because we decided to win the last game of a meaningless season in 2017-18. It's completely mindboggling how we're going to do it again when we literally have EVERY excuse to be bad this season with zero repercussions. Just straight bozos running the franchise.

It means Vuc and Fournier look good in regular season games against Detroit. We know enough from Fournier, that he'll get punked by the good defensive teams.

Can we take a break from complaining about winning and recognize Quinten Richardson has gotten a lot better in his media role? I love that he's leaning into his true personality more, and not trying to replicate stale, boring commentary we see often from that position. He and Dante seem to actually have fun together. Great job, Q!

Does Vuc and Evan scoring 66 change anything about our future? I guess maybe if it helps us trade them. We should not be trying to win this season so anything that looks like we're trying to win needs to get called out. I'm not interested in 8th seed feel-good first round exits and that's the zenith for those 2 guys.

Feel free to call me a bad fan.

Would love to see Vuc get an all star berth, he really has been incredible. Wonder how many more years of prime he has at this level. As a not explosive guy, hopefully he can age gracefully like the Gasol's

EasternMagic · Post #60 » by **EasternMagic** » Mon Feb 22, 2021 2:50 am

Vuc's 3 point shooting percentage is now Orlando (.407)
