Official 2023-2024 Magic General Season Thread

What's so funny is that people say the reason jett can't get minutes is defense.... But at the same time you got Ingles/Anthony/moe who can't guard anybody.... Even worse recently now they can't score, what's going on?

this would be bolder than actually making a trade (so I don't expect it)...but I'd like to see them waive Fultz or Chuma and sign buyout survivor Dinwiddie and hand him the keys as starting PG. There's a chance he'd prefer this kind of opportunity and showcase rather than coming off the bench for a contender. He's big and defends, not an exceptional shooter - but will take and make 3's. He shot over 40% in DAL, which you can probably attribute to Luka's gravity...maybe Franz & Paolo could have the same effect. He's scored a lot of points and dished out a lot of assists in his career. Basically no risk and we could offer a much more significant role than other teams likely would. I'm sure he'd only sign a deal for this season - so it'd essentially be a very low cost tryout (in both directions).

I'd also like ORL to roll out their "new" shooting ace, Jett Howard, for the rest of the season and move into the future now.

I think Nurkic is trying to say even tho Isaac doesn't get the minutes to be in the DPOY conversation he's really good.

Good. Respected among his peers. But not by pepe

Watch on YouTube

watch full interview, or just skip to 17:00

He says all that to support case his teammates Booker and Durant should be MVPs even if they don't hit mandatory 65 games played.

He talks about Booker right before Isaac, and pretty much says Durant without saying Durant right after "somebody who averages 3o on 50-40-90". Durant right now averages 28 on 54%-45%-87%

I never said Isaac isn't good defender. Ever. I said he doesn't play enough games where anything he does matters. Case and point, he played 14% of games since he resigned.

If Coles role doesn’t improve and I doubt it does, wouldn’t be shocked if he asked to be moved in summer.

5-7 with a perfect 2-2 three ball, for 12 points in only 19 minutes. Orlando needs a lot more of these San Antonio-style box scores.

If only all opponents players that look like 9-5 dads, all our players would be great

Should the Magic waive Okeke and sign Gallinari? Yes. His defense is awful, but he shoots open threes like they are layups. He would be a playoff's asset for Orlando.

Did you see that "stretching" photo of Ingles. The dude gives all us jellyrollers hope for our weekend warrior activities!

[RookieStar]

Guys... you think we sign any of the buyout guys? Theres a lot of them out there. Bums and busts but maybe can help?

uhh all the life benefits of being 6'9 and sharpshooter

Would management waive Okeke? That is the question.

I’d like that….gives us something to talk about.

I was kind of hoping to skip the draft this summer. Git that back too now.

I’d be excited to sign Dinwoodie. I would not have been excited to trade for him…but if it’s Din or Fultz at PG

AB practically a DNP last night, parked next to Goga…reminiscing

Obviously, he must be doing something wrong or so badly that he cannot contribute to a playoff bound team. I trust Mosely on this one. If he would hurt the team now, then let him at least get minutes in the G-League and develop. How hard is that to believe?

Gallinari is a massive shadow of himself. In this case, I would rather have a kid who can play defense over an aged player whose only ability is to shoot but hurts the team in others. This is probably Gallinari's last season as I watched him a few games this season and he hurts the team more than he helps.

I'd rather have Queen, Kevon or McClung than either of them...I'd rather have Jett than half of our roster.

The only one I don't want to see at the scorer's table is Admiral. He hurts my brain.

Howard is making $5,026,824 this year. If he could offer more than Schofield or Queen, he would be in Orlando. This is about Howard learning how to play NBA basketball, because right now, he cannot.

The only thing Howard can do now is hit the long ball. But that is an NBA skill that can be built around. To beat this story over again, look at Redick. He did not make any meaningful contribution to this team until year 4.

And this is exactly the reason Black will pile up DNPCDs with a healthy Fultz and Anthony.

But they didn't park Reddick in a glorified AAU Camp
