Bojan and Burks are scary but everyone else can hopefully get contained

Reports were that Quickley sought a deal worth $25 million per season. According to Ian Begley of SportsNet New York, there wasn't a specific dollar amount targeted. Things never got that far, because the Knicks offer included a team option on the final season in an extension for the Kentucky product. That's not something Quickley was apparently interested in.

$25 mill.... what do you'll think? Back ourt of suggs and Quickley..... I'll down!

Losing to the Pistons would rightfully erase all the goodwill this team built up from the hot start.

Absolutely yes. That's less than what Fultz/Harris are making this year combined.

Who here thinks with the way things are going, DET will snap its losing streak against us? Lol

No Suggs, No WCJ, No JI, No Fultz? Yeah, there are no gimmes when literally most of our starters and our best bench player are injured.

You know... the way you said it, our team os decimated. Yet some of us are still optimistic.. my how times change.

I like that the ESPN injury report now lists, "Est. return date."

That's helpful.

And: Carter and Fultz are estimated to return on 11 Dec. Unlikely for Carter, so there is probably a bug in the code. But the feature is a good idea.

Carter is going to return before Fultz I'm pretty sure, at least how Mose has been talking about them. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in a week.

Good catch, seems like a helpful feature. I'd like to think health is right around the corner.

It looks like Carter's cast is off.

BIG game tonight...take nothing for granted. Stay GREEDY. A absolute wire-to-wire demolition would go a long way towards solidifying confidence.

a win would soften the blow of two losses and the challenges ahead. A loss would plunge ORL into a lot of question marks.

We are double digit favorites. Here's hoping.

it's hard to believe anything anymore, it's been 6 weeks with kelle and i think it's fair to say whatever is going on is probably NOT tendinitis.........

They will either need to rewrite the entire code or omit our data entirely. The way we handle injuries I am not sure its possible to estimate anything hehe.

Fultz + Isaac are just a big sigh from me. Not in terms of disappointment. Like acceptance. I completely agree.

Go Magic! In theory, P+F+anything that resembles a PG should keep us .500.

Cole Anthony train....choo choo choo.
