Yup. But who? LaVine? Donovan? Simons?

Yeah, I feel like it’s time to be buyers. Adding more young guys at this point would be impossible as the young guys we do have are having a hard time seeing the floor.

Same it'd be awesome having a hometown homie on the team like when we had Tmac or Vince Carter.

People keep bringing up the contract situation but you can’t let that stop you from improving the team right now. Goga should want to resign here with the opportunity the FO gave him.


I mean if they trade WCJ it would be Goga’s starting spot at that point.

Can’t imagine he’d be looking to leave.


Could they extend him during the season, although that might be against Goga’s best interests

There’s no way Goga would turn down WCJ’s contract IMO.

I’m not the biggest Simons fan but he is safer (and cheaper) than the others. Him being from central Florida is a plus too.

I think so too. People think he would want a ridiculous contract but I can’t see his market being very large. I can’t imagine he would turn down a deal in the 10-12 mil per range.

Quickly might be another option as well but the Magic are one more offensive player away in my opinion.

I’m not moving WCJ at this time. He needs at least the next 20 games.

Only 4 turnovers in the half is pretty big too. You can't let a bad defense off the hook with turnovers, especially when it's already a challenge to limit their transition scoring.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

The Magic have a ton of assets at some point they will have to cash in to fill a need. If WCJ it has to be someone else.

Nice block by black, nice pass by Paolo, too bad Franz couldn’t finish with the three.

Harris and Franz needed to come back and help get the ball in.

Paolo makes some really bad TOs sometimes. It’s his 2nd year I will forgive them.
