Wouldn't take much to get him back.

Vooch always shows up, and would give us that third substantial offensive threat. Most importantly he still rebounds way better than WCJ. I’d say Carter still fits what we do on defense better. I’d actually consider it since it could open up minutes for Goga, who needs to play more next year. Nothing but good things happen for the Magic when Goga actually plays. I still get angry at Mosely for not playing him v Cleveland.

Goga as starting C then Vuc as backup maybe. I’m not sure how Paolo and Vuc will work defensively. And JI will be there to save Vuc on defense.

Vuc would also be the go-to scorer of the second unit.

I see some are back in the Vuc can save us the mode of offseason because once again the FO did the bare minimum to get offensive talent that fits.

I'm down for bringing back Vuc, he's the only all-star I ever heard of that was heart broken to be traded from Orlando, would be nice to retire him here. Starting would be ok but off the bench with JI sounds like money!

It's about time for the Simons to Orlando talk to heat back up.

Does Simons make us better? I'm not so sure.

Of course he makes us better. Cole's best nights is a normal night for Simons and we can only hope Jett turns out to be a scorer like that. Neither Cole nor Jett are great defenders so we aren't losing much on that end. Simons anchors the second unit as primary scorer surrounded by capable defenders while being able to easily slide into the SL if needed.The issue is money - that's an expensive 6th man, but he'd definitely make the team better, no doubt about it.

Sexton is a better target. He makes 18 mill/yr, and arguably better than Simons.

Agreed. Still think we need more offense of the bench. Proposed a deal on the trade board last week. Fans would be willing to part in exchange for Cole and a pick. Would help their tanking for Cooper..

Im just here for the Vuc slander

anothermagicfan · Post #34 » by **anothermagicfan** » Tue Jul 30, 2024 9:33 pm

Im on board for vuc coming back. He'd need about a season to overtake Dwight as Orlandos all time leading scorer. I was a huge Dwight fan when he was here but the way he left I still haven't gotten over and seeing his name atop that list disgusts me. WCJ for vuc straight up wouldn't bother me a bit. Id be fine with that center rotation.

Simons ain’t coming. We already have players who will take Cole’s minutes at some point.

WOOT! Anfernee AND Vooch! We can dream of Magic!

I’d love to get Vooch back but not for WCJ. I feel like if they trade him they could more but I’m probably overvaluing WCJ.
