This organization can't be more predictable man. I mean everyone and there mom is making fun of them for not making moves and being on vacation early and yet here they are literally doing just that. Nothing.

Now, we have to get official word. Always possible something is announced after Deadline.

I think Dinwiddle is someone many of us will hope for although Contenders probably have a better chance.

Weltman is just so unbelievably flaccid.

No oomph whatsoever.

Wow I was prepared for disappointment but this is a bummer. Lots of minor moves could have been made to upgrade some of our bench guys. Sad.

The irony to me is Woj didn't even make a post saying "sources say magic intend to keep x"

IE, there was never a thought. Hehe.

We have like 5 extra 2nd rounders from other teams over the course of the next 6 years, not including our 2nd rounders

We dont even use 2nds the vast majority of the time... what are we doing...

I've stated before I'm okay with standing pat for only this season. But either this Summer or next trade deadline, I will genuinely be calling into question their competency if they don't make clear upgrades to the roster.

This was a difficult trade deadline for our front office. Players fitting perfectly Paolo's and Franz's games made available for reasonable price. Pressure building, many would break.

But not Weltman. He indeed has a backbone and prowess not to raise expectations just 7 years into a role. Magic will continue evaluating at least a year, hazzard avoided, bullet dodged.

Oh c'mon he is out there watering his players and making sure they get enough vitamin D.

Gotta spend money somehow, better on Markelle, just give him healthy offseason so he can develop 4 point shot :D

What a crapfest. I just can't comprehend it. There was a great chance of improving our play-off chances without impacting the future cap if needed. It's unforgettable, I'm officialy done with Weltman.

Not surprised we didn't do anything but not sure what Was is thinking by not getting something out of tyus. I guess they want to resign him, but honestly that really shouldn't be the game plan as they are many years away from relevance.

We all have to accept that even though we have championship caliber players and a great coach, we don’t have a front office or ownership group that’s committed to winning.

It’s as simple as that.

I accepted this long ago but it still kinda sucks to be reminded.

I have been trying to warn you guys for six months about Fultz.

The organization holds him in much higher regard than this board does.

Sigh it is what it is. Gonna root for the guys that are here still but will probably be very snappy towards the team if things go south this season. This overall passiveness won't be tolerated in the coming seasons. At some point, decisions will need to be made on bringing this roster to the next level.
