Need to monitor health. I’m pro letting the team we have now ride out the season unless we hit a 10 game losing streak.

It is time to pounce if the opportunity presents itself to add a great fit player with Paolo and Franz. “Elite shooting”

Magic already have their 2 max contract players so I don’t think it makes sense to add a 3rd as we can’t pay 3.

Cavs made a move on Mitchell and seem to have taken a step back so I’m good riding with what we have.

Do you think we are on track to join that list?


What are the criterias you ranked these young cores? Why is Fournier. Oladipo plus Payton even on your best of Magic? Rob Hennigan might be our worst GM ever and that was his team. Horrible and opportunist GM. I am against everything in his era :lol: 8-)


Seriously
Plus Harris over Payton even back then. Tobias was our best player during that time and was the same age as dipo and fournier, so it's not like he was to old to be our core

We are tracking towards our top three in minutes played being Paolo, Franz, and Suggs. BEAUTIFUL

Edit: actually Cole is #3 in minutes played over Suggs. Oh well.

I think we win 50 games this year. Not sure if we'll win a playoff series, but we will definitely be far along enough after this year to pool our assets together and make a big time win now move

I’m going to be excited if we get 42 wins. 46 wins would be a great season. Beyond that? I don’t even know what to think.

Suggs gives every ounce of energy he has before he checks out. I’m ok with the minutes. Mose has said a couple of times Suggs tells him when he needs to be subbed out.
