Jett's defense sucks, no resistance whatsoever.

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

True, especially these games on the road vs contending teams.

Still hoping for wins but changed my expectations to try and enjoy signs of development from our young guys.

It’s almost like there are certain expectations with being paid that kind of money.

It’s valid.

Nobody here is questioning Suggs paycheck right now.

People wanted the rooks to play... not under these circumstances but there will be good games and terrible games from them. I would ultimately package Jett for someone though with a pick and like Gary and one of our bigs.

What the hell happened to KCP? Or is this just the next Ibaka / Jeff Green vet who just forgets how to basketball when he comes here
I still believe in Magic! Welcome to the Franz & Paolo era

And don't come at me because I do like Franz.


This is just such small potatoes though.

If he's not a max player, he's still a 40M AAV player and the difference is just so minimal that it isn't worth fretting over.


While I get what you are saying but you can't pay a guy that much and give the production he is giving. After the first few mins, he has completely disappeared. I feel like he benefits so much from Paolo but when he is getting paid as much as he does that should be the case if Paolo plays or not.

Looking very much like the team that lost enough to land the number 1 pick.

To turn, the opinion would have to change. I've always said that he wasn't worth a max.


I’ve been saying for a year and I’m yelled at each time.

Because we don't have system nor point guard(s).
When Paolo plays it is the same thing, they just watch his endless isolations.

Magic are 4th in iso plays in nba behind teams with multiple star guards who are good at it like Dallas, OKC.

Paolo's injury just exposes complete nonsense of roster construction.

As long as we continue to allow opponents to score 30+ per quarter we will not see any wins anytime soon

This is his second or third game playing real minutes, he needs playing time actually learn this game. His defense is horrible but at least he’s trying.

Yeesh.
If we can't make a shot, he isn't going to get an assist. Issac missed a couple of corner 3s off his passes, and Moe missed like 4 shots off his passes.

KCP the champion experience vet is absolutely garbage. Yet, I'm not all that surprised. Magic are awful in FA

He's been the best player on the floor for Orlando tonight. By a wide margin.

KCP has been horrendous shooting wise... hopefully he gets out of this slump
