Also, fk Cole Anthony.


Thank you! What are the coaches doing? Do we practice dribbling the ball without turning the ball over! I hate being a Magic fan


Gee…that sounds like fundamental PG stuff. Who knew?

This whole “we can’t obtain anyone who isn’t an exceptional defender” is bunk…we have an excellent defensive team but you just can’t stop teams with lights out scorers at multiple positions. There’s a balance needed.
That's what I'm saying though..... We're currently skewed too much in one direction and that's defense.... We do need more balance, we need more offense from the others it can't just be moe.... There is no one other than him we can expect a consistent 10 ppg from at the very least

WCJ can't be traded this season
They aren't trading/not playing KCP

The only people that can even be replaced that provide more defense than offense is Goga (who is playing great) and Isaac, who has DPOY level defense, and then AB. Which, sure, but we're giving up on a 20 year old?

If you start shipping out the guys that make you good at defense, suddenly that defense maybe becomes 10th-15th best and unless the return offense makes you top 7 in the league, you will probably have the same record as a team that has top 2 defense and, let's say sticking around where we were earlier in the year, 15th-20th sort of offense.

It's not fun watching teams brick threes, but also not fun seeing a team be awful at defense.


Stop making good points lol

Stop talking bro. We dont need your garbage takes.

Cole Anthony should not see the court again all season. Cory gives us everything we need. Veteran poise, proper pg play and shooting.

My point is that if we are looking to have a functional point guard off the bench that actually is worth a damn on offense when everyone is healthy.. it isn't Cole's minutes he's taking that matters, it's taking AB off ball and then burying Jett.. which people complained about all last year about Jett/AB not getting minutes.

Cant have it both ways..

I promise that shipping out players like Cole and Jett (along with picks) for a legitimate scorer will not negatively impact our defense :lol:
