What is Threads?
It's Meta's version of Twitter. You'll be able to use your Instagram username and transfer all your followers over. Meta is Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp.

I don't know. I just hope it has an easy way to share links like Twitter had before.

If Threads were smart, they'd collaborate with some sports people to learn how to include links that can be shared in an easily readable format.

For sure. A way to share stats from NBA.com and basketball reference in particular would be hella useful.

Lately, I can't even see most of the tweets that people post here. I would just want to be able to see the links. Apps like Reddit have no way to share a post easily. Being able to share easily is the whole key to success.

So, what's a summary of the current state of the Magic?

Vocal half not happy with the organization direction or movement.

Other vocal half not happy with the organization direction or movement but because of their specific nuanced reason.

I am waiting to see how summer league goes before I completely weigh in. While people here will be adamant about how "important / unimportant" it is, it is absolutely data that tells us how ready or not ready our rookies are. Combine that with playoffs aspirations then the moves or lack thereof have the plan for us become crystal clear.

I have to vent… I get saving cap for next summer but my gosh… We could have signed Grant Williams to a 4 Year Contract (15, 14, 13, 12) into our cap and traded some sort of combination of Okeke, Bol, 2nd Rounders… GSW signed Jackson-Davis to a 4 Year CHEAP deal… Both players we should have targeted….

I’m a die hard Magic fan but damn this is aggravating…

I’d rather be a OKC fan or Portland (bright ass future with Scoot and Sharpe!)… Wish I could not be a true fan…

As long as they're not complete ravaged by injuries, they should have a pretty good year. They have a lot of talent and a lot of depth.

It's what happens after that which is going to determine a lot of people's happiness moving forward.

Boston may not have wanted to trade Williams to us.

Wouldn’t have mattered if he signed offer… Only other choice would have been to eat his salary themselves….

He would also have wanted to have signed for us.
