The original point I was making…
Is that they had Gary Harris, Isaac, Carter, Fultz, Cole etc. PRIOR to drafting their main core of Paolo, Franz, and Suggs.
The argument is that they have not ADDED a supporting cast of players knowing who their core was beforehand - hence “building backwards”.
To assume they had all their supporting role players BEFORE without knowing HOW things like offense were going to be run. That’s the point.
Drafting players and not playing them isn’t really contributing to that point. They have moved nobody out of those original players. They have made no additions aside from Goga, who doesn’t play, and Ingles who is a mediocre addition in the second unit.
Nobody has been added and they haven’t “constructed” anything post knowing who makes up the core . I’m not really even saying something that is an opinion… it’s just a fact based in reality.
Its hard not to agree with you, but they try If facts dont fit, too bad for facts.
Its mostly semantics. You can call everything you do "constructing", but thats not what you meant.
The most important thing is that we are not done "constructing, we are not even close. Its possible we will leave 3-4 players from our rotation next year.
Yes we can agree this year we are done "constructing" roster, but our goal was never maximizing wins. We wanted to keep the team together and develop young players. I think roster was constructed OK for this. Yes we need PG badly, but we reached play ins without it so who cares.
What are you even talking about?
Of course we want to maximize wins, we are not a damned farm team, lol. Are you a Lakers fan? We are not just trying to develop players, the Magic are here to kick some ass now
And we literally have home court advantage in the playoffs, we are way ahead of just getting lousy play-ins. Are you delusional man?
I really think you have made this assumption in your head that just because the Magic have home court advantage that the magic are done and ready to compete when this is far from the truth. In all honesty, most didn’t expect the Magic to be in this position and most are not expecting much in the playoffs. They are far ahead off schedule. Outside of Suggs, Paolo, and Franz this team has so much to fix. I am expecting big moves in the offseason.
