I am on the DeJounte Murray hype train now. Magic needs to get someone who can take the load off of Paolo and Franz

Shock the NBA world and beat the Heat on Sunday. Gotta sneak some improbable wins this month.

Do we think Franz returns on Sunday or is he still a week away?

Yeah until him and Paolo get into it and Paolo is asking for a trade. No thank you.

Guys gotta act like adults.

Winning solves a lot

How do you think we handle the season if we continue to falter? Hopefully that doesn't happen.

We got 10 pts combined from 3/5 of our starting lineup tonight….

Other than Suggs and Ingles, we can't bank on anyone being a consistent threat. I believe in AB's and Jett's futures but would love for them to be getting backup minutes while winning.

Lowkey I think this is what Mose is hinting at playing Okeke and Houstan. It's obviously not good enough lol but having just one of these good volume guys + still having a decently strong bench can work wonders

one more thing......you can't win a game if you can't defend without getting called for stuff like this....

Read on Twitter

At this point you are LITERALLY unguardable....you can't touch him, and in this specific possession he can fall down near you and you'll get called for the foul....

Same. Willed hin into being my favourite player, but he’s just an anchor for our team these days. 4 years and no improvement. May even be worse. I’m scared we won’t be able to get off the13 million a year contract now.

You don't make that type of trade without talking with Paolo first. I'm not the type of person who believes that players should get a word in when it comes to roster construction but if you want Paolo as your franchise player, I am assuming you don't want him to walk into a contentious locker room the whole season.

I think there's a clear difference between Orlando and the play-in bubble of Chicago, Toronto, Brooklyn, and Atlanta. I'll be shocked if one of them catches us

BK is floundering but Raptors have a promising starting 5, Hawks have talent but no defense, Chicago is a veteran team that might catch us.

I hate to say I told you MFers so, but I told you guys so.

If you want to win games, and I mean really win games not just play around .500 ball, then use your assets and go get some veterans in here who are better than Fultz and Gary and Chuma and more available than JI.

If you want to develop your youth and winning isn't that important, then play Black and Jett.

But what they're doing - playing bad veterans over their youth while playing about .500 basketball - is truly the worst of both worlds.

Weltman stinks :lol:
