I've seen enough, bench fultz start black

[meatwad4343]

If mose is smart he's telling fultz to rest that knee for a little while longer until he's 100% so we can get more of a sample size of ab in the starting line up

[ogmagicfan]

I just dont see the reason in us starting Fultz, when Black provides what he does, & then some and its pretty clear that Fultz is not going to be here after this season

We might as well start prepping Black in the starting role, giving him more opportunity to develop and for us to evaluate the fit of him in the starting lineup

We don’t need changes to the roster yet as far as trades or whatever. I’m confident that will resolve itself organically internally.

Ideally we shouldn’t have needed injuries to try some different lineups out early in the season either, but here we are and we’ve got guys who have stepped up the occasion. We need to keep those pathways open to the guys we’ve got.

The front offices favorite word..

“Organic”

Or you know... he can hire some Magic poster who will accidentally "trip" him up and so would need another further 10 game evaluation and AB starting spot can take longer

We can definitely use Fultz off the bench! He could help get JI's offense going and Cole Anthony could play more off ball!

*team is playing together with great defense and young players contributing for first time in a long time*

*"tHE oRG diDn'T TraDe FoR HeRrO or SimOnz!!"

There are small changes we can make right now, or a bigger one once we find out who is here to stay or not. But we're seeing a lot of guys contributing in their roles.

[Orlando Dawg]

It kind of surprised me that Fultz and the FO wasn't able to come to a deal

Where did you hear that the Magic have any interest in signing Fultz to a deal?

[Fortune Teller]

Guys, Welt is playing the long game. Eventually, Fultz, Isaac, WCJ will play 70 games in a season. It just won’t be this year or next. Most likely 2028. He doesn’t hand out multi-year contracts for nothing.

My judgement of the FO does not come from the current situation, but from the entire 6 years of "work"

[fendilim]

Also, who would want Fultz? I mean does he even have value?

Expiring deals have value, packaged with picks or other players for sure. If, say POR, recognized that Scoot & Sharpe is their future backcourt and didn't want to keep Simons as a $25m backup, they could trade for an expiring Fultz & a rookie scale guy, etc and let Fultz expire.

This is what I have asked many many times and never even got speculative answers...only "You're a hater", etc.

Fultz hits the open market...who's calling and offering a starting spot?

Another way to look at it...IF Fultz was on another team, would people in ORL even be thinking about him or his potential fit in ORL.

NO

yes, as an expiring player he does have a value as a salary relief.

But as a player?

[jonbob17]

I wonder what missing Fultz does to to our betting lines. There's some noise in there right now with Harris, WCJ, and JI also having issues. I want to say the Lakers were 3 point favorites at home and 3 point favorites on the road, home court is worth 2.5-3 points...so that would suggest the MF/GH/WCJ trio was worth 6 points to Vegas.

Of course we trounced LA, but they are having injuries issues too, GabeVincent, Vanderbilt, Rui.

... and maybe get Franz playing more time with the starters and less with the bench, Fultz would be better off the bench, and that would also let him know where his salary should be

[RichCollab]

This was a nice fantasy. Fultz needs to start.

[KillMonger]

This was a nice fantasy. Fultz needs to start.

got to be available for that chief....then again fultz being injured is nothing new

[pepe1991]

His ugly jumpshot still goes in.

[89Magicfan]

His ugly jumpshot still goes in.

This and he attempts them.

Seems like Black has made and attempted more threes in two games then Fulton has in a season no?

[zaymon]

Fultz would not help us against Dallas he would make things even worse. We wont win many games making 8 threes a game. Black was solid defensively and made his 3s. Everyone else missed shots, Suggs and Banchero couldnt handle the ball. I dont know if Black is the answer but we know already that Fultz is not.
