I don't care about the potential trade, I care more about him playing with some purpose. He looked very good as the floor general without any of Paolo, Franz or Cole on the court.

Fair, that's exactly what he needs to work on

this has been standing out to me, alot better shot selection all around, and Paolo/Franz/Cole/AB leading the offensive aggression

KCP = Decent defender, not great.

I'm assuming RealGM screwed for everyone as well? First time I've been able to load it since 1st.

Playing well though! Paolo, Franz and Goga going well. God I wish we had some better guards though...
I still believe in Magic! Welcome to the Franz & Paolo era

IMO, the theme is whichever PG starts, they're going to have to defer to the big guns. AB goes into a shell and hasn't figured out when to be aggressive. It's almost like he's too close to Paolo (not necessarily Franz) and doesn't want him mad so he does literally nothing.

Cole will slow a little, but he doesn't care about their reactions or feelings, because in his mind he's better anyway. Therefore, he's better suited to start because he knows he still needs to be aggressive, just not 6th man aggressive.

I’m super interested to see if a switch is flipped once Suggs’ energy is on the court again

The problem is we don't know what Cole we're getting from a game to game basis and that's why I want him on the first thing smoking out of here.... You can't have a key rotation player getting minutes and you don't know what kind of production you're going to get out of him...

He was way better earlier in the year. I think he's banged up.
