If Suggs is out any amount of time we should tank this season and let everyone return slow. Honestly, our luck is the f'in worst.

Why would we tank unless Paolo/Franz injuries are season ending?

Based on the medical person they had on after Paolo's injury, that style of injury allows people to play but it takes 3-6 months to feel "normal". What if we rush back Franz or Paolo and they get a more serious injury because of it?

Whenever I'm feeling bummed about the Magic, I just look around the league. It can ALWAYS be worse.

With how conservative our Team is, you would think they monitor properly our guys

Cole Anthony for DDV makes sense. They are desperate for a backup PG. Cole has played his best games in Minnesota, including a game winner.

Cole is salary cap filler. No one is trading for his basketball skills.

DDV is struggling this season, too.

It's too bad Cole has been struggling because DDV would be perfect off the bench. He was shooting 3s like Klay last year.

I’d love for the team to add DDV. He has been around winning basketball. 3&D but he’ll give you some assists as well. Can’t imagine the Wolves are that desperate to move him despite his struggles.

Nice to see AB finally make an impact on the game. I hope those 3s are a sign to come.

We were in the game until Cole Anthony checked in, like it was seriously unbelievable how bad he was.

Cole Anthony is a negative trade asset, before I was hesitant on trading our firsts in a good draft but now I would attach a first with him to get rid of him. Is Cole, Jett and a first enough for Cam Johnson?? Jetts dad is on coaching staff lol. Sexton is interesting too, I just worry that hes never been on a good team. But at least he can **** dribble. Those are the 2 options Im looking at.

Coach should seriously consider playing McClung. There is no way he is worse than Cole now.

I'd give Minnesota a first round pick along with Cole for DDV.

Grant Hill was even saying Cole was having a terrible night. Now he knows what we see every time he plays.
