2023-2024 Regular Season Game 45: Orlando Magic (23-21) at Memphis Grizzlies (17-27) - 8pm

[MasterGMer]

And we have a tough one Sunday hosting Suns. Plus Suggs and Markelle all hurt

[Bensational]

Luka dropping 73 on the Hawks. Mental.

Embiid started a run on scoring career highs.

[GameOver25]

Curious on who's in favor of selling Suggs or keeping Suggs?
Hmmmm......

Keep.

I'm guessing there are very few remaining in the 'can't trade Cole cause it would kill the vibes' camp?

I'm the Romney of Cole fans. I've flip-flopped my way back to being out on the guy. I was only in on him because he signed a great contract. I'm sentimental and he was balling out of his mind to start the season.

Edit

I'm definitely part of the don't trade Cole camp, but I'm starting to not care. If it blows up the locker room, so be it. I want to see a title before I fkin die

It's a tough time right now. I don't think we're nearly as bad as we've been playing over the last 22 games. Problem is we had injuries during the first 23 games when we played really good so I don't even know what or who the hell this team really is right now.

The guard pay is so atrocious. I am fed up having a roster that keeps pumping out horrible shooters. A decade plus we can’t shoot on a shooters league. Exhausting.

[byeganyo]

Trade picks and everything else not named Banchero/Wagner. Send Suggs packing if it gets us a nice return

Yeah, trade the one guard that can shoot, that'll fix it...

Can't shoot it if he's always out injured. I want availability

he is 3rd in minutes played this season for us. 1st in 3pts made.

It's easy to score that much when no one plays defense because if they try its an automatic foul.

[BlueBalls]

People griping about our best 3 point shooter taking a potential game-winner is blowing my mind. Shouldn't of even been in this position in the first place. Losing to a utterly depleted Memphis is inexcusable.

We need to figure out our guard situation before this season comes completely off the rails. Doing nothing of significance at the deadline is complete managerial malpractice. We have too much money and draft capital invested into our collection of PGs and SGs for the production we are getting. Suggs with his elite defense and hit or miss offense is not enough to make up all of the injuries, weaknesses and inexperience we are bogged down with.

It’s blowing my mind that so few see how that played right into their hands. 4.5 seconds, down by a point and you have Joe Ingles shooting a 3 to win? Ask Memphis what they wanted to see. That’s exactly it. Any idea why Joe was quarantined? “They can’t be dumb enough to take that bait, right??” Oh, hell yeah we are. And then we have fans lauding the play.

And the season is off the rails, dude. 7-15 against a pretty weak schedule. This roster is a **** mess. It makes no sense and never did.

Keep.

Yeah I would keep him

[eyriq]

Time for Jordan Poole talk to heat up

[meatwad4343]

I'm undecided on Suggs, the injury history already plus his playstyle makes him susceptible to more injuries in the future. I love how his game has improved so far. Not sure I'd be comfortable paying him what he'll most likely be asking once his rookie deal is up. I would move Suggs as part of a bigger deal for a star for sure if that was an option.

[magik9113]

totally against trading our only good guard unless it's for an all-star

[eyriq]

Trading Suggs is like trading Oladipo. He'll be an all-star someday and we won't replace him with anyone better.

[best of luck]

That stung, at least we had a shot to win.
Never like taking 3s when you need just 2, but Paolo knew the double team was there and kicking it was the correct play.
Fingers crossed for the Suns game, 6am Monday morning for me but will be watching.

Hmmmm......

I’m 100% keep on Suggs. Let’s replace Harris and Fultz. They both currently have bigger salaries.

That team we saw earlier was the "new car smell" team. Now after a few car notes, some oil changes, new wipers, and some scratches, you're just driving back and forth to work, and the appeal has faded.

Just realized that we only won 4 games in the month of January....
Man...our Januarys are brutal.

Yeah I would keep him

Keep…but willing to listen. Same with Black
