sounds like Mose...there's value to that.

I just hope Mose has been reading up on modern NBA offense or touring Europe talking to innovative coaches this summer. Shammgod sounds like a really good add, but not a direct shot at our glaring offensive need.

Let's see if Mosley can reel in his big fish.

Per @TheSteinLine on God Shammgod's future...

"Magic still want him very badly, the working expectation is that the Magic will ultimately succeed in that pursuit."

"Yesterday was the last day of God Shammgods current contract."

This is shaping out to be a very exciting offseason.

TBD. He was the head player development coach in Dallas, not a front of the bench assistant.

But since he’s out of contract, the Magic don’t have to offer him a promotion or a move up the bench if they don’t want to.
