The difference between the Bulls with Vuc and this tank-squad is one win since the trade. A bunch of bench vets, 20 year old rookies and some g-leaguers have been almost as successful as that team chasing the playoffs.

Magic should've insisted on a pick swap if the Bulls landed in the top 3, instead of straight up top 3 protections.

Excellent! We make sure to negate our advantage over the C's down low to ensure a favorable outcome for us.

Just scared Wagner would take this as a revenge game and balls out lol

Because as in every draft, AG has what everyonr is looking for.. POTENTIAL

We could have drafted Exum so we dodged that bullet.

Gordon provided more overall value than Randle before this season. More win shares, higher VORP, much better OnCourt and On-Off splits.

Randle has obviously blown up this year and full credit to him for that, but I'm not killing the Magic or any other team for Randle finally figuring it out in Year 7 on his third NBA team.

Prolly the same reason we picked whoever we picked over Devin Booker.. that pissed me off even more because I read/heard that he wanted to come here.

We would've traded Randle before his breakout year this year. Didn't play defense and was kinda one dimensional on offense and out of control.

basketballRob · Post #1271 » by **basketballRob** » Thu May 6, 2021 3:29 am

Randle had a leg injury or something that hurt him in the draft.

Well not to be that guy but that really doesnt work for everyone. Didnt SAC pick Bagley ahead of Luka because Bagley let it be known to everyone that he wanted SAC to pick him.

Grain of salt but apparently there is a report out there that says among NBA officials Clifford is one of the coaches on shaky ground....if true it makes sense....if you're taking the roster in a different direction the FO might want a guy they pick instead of who alex martins wanted....if it's true that is

No one really knows but I did notice his tone change immediately after that first post game interview after the trades. I’m not sure if he was just frustrated with the FO or the players for that first post game but his tone softened dramatically after that one.

IMO if they are firing Clifford then ownership should just go ahead and cut the cord and fire the front office as well.

Just start fresh.

I doubt they fire those guys and spend more money to replace them next season.

I don’t think ownership signs off on all the trades this season if the front office are on the hot seat.

With that being said though, I don’t think Clifford is the coach of this team next season

Even if you fire him, who da hell wants to take team with like 4 out of 6 key guys being not so amazing talents and also broken with injuries? It's career suicide for anybody who takes it.

it depends. If we get Cade or Suggs, with the other young players, i could see a good young asst coach considering it
