Has anyone in our illustrious media contingent bothered to ask Mosley why Fultz literally will not even try a 3-pointer now. Are we supposed to believe he's not attempting them because he had some knee tendinitis?

Knee tendonitis is a hell of an injury apparently

Also, fascinating how they keep his shoulder taped. I should try that when my knee is acting up

JK...I have to say he looked pretty good (I watched the last 10 mins)...especially strong with the ball. But that was always the case.

Forget about 3-pointer, he scored postup, layup and dunk tonight.

as a Heat fan, considering we need help at PG, I'll do Fultz for Duncan.

Excluding the fact that Orlando and Miami are not natural trading partners, Robinson is exactly the kind of player this team needs. If the "cost" is only Fultz, yes the Magic would be all over that. Fultz is actually a pretty good fit for Miami. This trade could transform Orlando though.

My question to you: is Andy Elisburg going to make an improvement-trade for Miami that also improves Orlando? I think it is a hard no.

We are clearly covering for something else. I dont think its good for us and i dont think its good for Fultz. Not admiting his real problem helped him earn a lot of money but it also kills his carrier in the long term.
My money is on Banchero going number 1 !

When he is retired I am sure he will be more forthcoming about whatever health issue he had, or at least us and other teams who were paying him / fans of him will be interested.

I know I will be, popcorn and all.

I recall Nick Anderson as a prime example of a player who just couldn't do something after missed 4 free throws in an NBA finals.

It's like his 4th game back after playing his 5 games at the start of the season? I'd give it at least 20 games on him before having a complete opinion.

We need 5 seasons of data before we know who Fultz really is. You can never be too sure.

I'd resign Fultz as a 3rd string point guard!

And yet the leaked videos of his shot looking atrocious was just him messing around.

He's still just messing around during these regular season NBA games.
