My guess is guys are scared they are getting traded. AB was terrified when coach wanted to speak to him about the rising stars game.

Yeah I think certain players know they’re being shopped.

WCJ can't use that excuse

Cole and WCJ suck and Paolo isn’t a real star player! (Saying this because they’ll inevitably play to prove me wrong now)

I would think this is one of the few teams you can be on and play without fear of being traded

It’s like he has no pressure to play for his next contract anymore. Got a premature and unjustified raise and extension and now the motivation is gone.

Damn, that’s true. Maybe they had a family meeting about it being time for the kids to move out on their own?

I’d agree with you but the way the last month has gone something’s up and not a whole lot has changed.

Paolo/Franz/Suggs come back and all of a sudden we fall off a cliff get swept by 2 tanking teams and have lost by 10+ multiple times.

Anyone see the video of the Max Christie about an hour before the trade and he’s doing an interview in front of his locker and a hand comes from out of frame and rips his name tag off the locker? :lol: Probably what are guys are feeling right now.

That was AD but I think from the same locker room before the trade which is also hilarious. I’m sure a lot of guys are legitimately anxious and stressed right now over this.

BTW... who is playing for both teams? Anyone being "sat out" is a big candidate for the trade deadline

Return to Orlando Magic
