Tyus Jones was available last summer... He went with KCP instead.

Tyus is shooting 41% from deep on 5 attempts per game.


Tyus is on a team with KD and Booker. So he has great spacing.


We have shot the MOST threes that are graded at WIDE OPEN and are missing them at a laughable rate. Wide open means nearest center is 6 freaking feet away.

Tyus would get the same looks here but no we have to sign Gary Harris and keep the family together.

Knee pads have to be worn out
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

Spacing can’t be an excuse we have a guy who gets triple teamed and another who gets doubled.

Just back to normal shape in 3pt percentage. Also we are one of the youngest NBA teams and looking like the oldest one.

It was so beneficial for Jett’s development to spend his entire rookie season in the G-League :roll:

Yup anyone that dared to question him was taken off Magic duty. Remember the Bulldog and Nicky Football? Both got pulled from any and all Magic coverage because they’re not sunshine pumpers.

I forgot Weltman made the Chuma Okeke pick. What a fool.

Disgusting. Disastrous shooting and poor defense, same recipe as our other recent blowout losses.

didn't know that but it makes sense as to why they can just hide all year and get fluff interviews when needed.

I'm beginning to buy into all the negative Weltman narratives.

Being as level-headed as I can be, I would give him the summer to figure it out. If it's a quiet summer with minimal moves, I'd fire him before training camp.

Who has played better this year?
If bball was only about 3pt %
Dallas GM made a move, Im kind of glad our GM didn't made. This season we are not going to the finals regardless.

Going back from last season to now, we were 54-17 in games where we shot a mere 32% or better from 3. It may not only be about 3s for us, but it’s a major part.

Schedule wise everything going to plan. I think we lose to the Spurs and Hornets but beat the Hawks and limp into the break in 9th or 10th.

Not a lot of games left after the break to turn it around. We could be on the road for a play-in, how embarrassing.

He’s had more than enough time. I have zero desire to watch him sleep through another off-season, waking up intermittently enough to throw a bunch of cash at another KCP.

And we’ll likely have 2 FRPS. Now way I want him to have yet another chance to **** things up.
