Guess it's time for that Cole Anthony "eliminated"

They just have the opportunity to really make a splash without really messing with the core at all.

They have plenty of cap space.

They have $35M in three expiring contracts (Isaac, Harris, Okeke)

They have two lotto picks that they probably should be willing to move

Like the Magic SHOULD be able to land any all-star that comes on the market. They have the cap space, draft picks and expiring deals to make it happen.

Which is why it's gonna be even more disappointing when they do none of that.

I don't see it next season. Probably the following off-season.

Now, we can shut down players

Oh well, if there's such a thing as a good loss -especially a playoff-hope-killing loss- this was probably it. Good job, good effort.

Good night all.

I don't know about "any" it depends on the player imo

I imagine the Cavs will sit most of their top guys on Thursday with the 4 seed locked up and the 3 seed super unlikely (and possibly out of reach depending on how the Sixers game shakes out tonight).

Aight..... 3 games left.... I say next game.... Throw suggs on Donovan and tell him to guard him......"responsibly"... And let's see what he's made of. Hopefully not letting Donovan drop another 40+ lol

Good game but some terrible shot selection in the last 2 minutes.

Isaac isn't expiring. He will be on the roster until at least January.

There is one FA who could be interested in playing for Orlando at a discount rate. Vucevic.

I would be floored if Mitchell plays on Thursday.

Yeah, I agree. I think this team needs another year to cook. Although could see them fighting for a playoff spot, I think the following season is their year.

Keegan Murray just hit 5 3s in the 3rd quarter with 2 minutes left to go. Crazy!!! This is a talented rookie team.

Just need Paolo is average 20 now.

Tonight helps him hold steady at exactly 20.0
