I wish we could take some of what’s in Suggs and inject that into AB. What I mean is this, Suggs by all accounts looks and seems like a great person. But Suggs has got some crazy psycho on court energy and emotion. He’s instant fuel fire and passion. He transforms when he plays, it’s actually pretty crazy and amazing to watch at the same time.

Good point. It crazy that people wanted to trade Suggs after year 2 or send him to the G-League. Going into year 3, most people were projecting Fultz and Harris to be the starters, and Suggs would be the backup SG. It kind of sounds like what they are projecting what Black will be this year.

Black will continue to be backup SF.

22 year old FVV was an undrafted rookie that played 300 mins combined between regular season and playoffs

Once they resign Caleb who can actually shoot
Black is going to be the 3rd string guard
DNP - coaches decision

Once they re-sign Caleb? Brother, you talk like we’re planning the offense around 6 minutes a night and a couple corner threes. If your vision of team building is pinning AB’s future on Caleb Houstan’s presence, I gotta question whether you’ve watched either of them play.

Black will continue to be backup SF.

He's played guard his first 2 seasons.

Very experienced coach we’re targeting

[bigdogdylan5]

Chat gpt so take it with a grain of salt but the info looks to come from a coaches profile substack.

“Specialization: Offensive Strategy & Game Management
• Offensive Expertise
• Highly regarded for his offensive acumen, Prunty has worked closely on refining pace, spacing, and ball movement. Michael Sun-based coaching profiles describe him as “known for his offensive strategies” .
• His interim turn with the Bucks in 2015–16 saw improved offensive ratings, thanks to accelerated tempo and focus on offensive rebounds .
• In-Game Adjustments & Play Design
• Credited with drawing up key late-game plays—for example, a winning inbounds alley-oop for the Hawks in the Western Conference Finals during the Phoenix Suns’ run .
• Known for his strong communication style and ability to adapt during hot stretches or coaching transitions.“

I like Prunty whenever I've seen him be interviewed on the sideline. I remember he was interim coach for the Bucks when they fired Kidd and I think he had a decent record and almost got them to a first round win versus the #2 seed Celtics.

Im hard

Thats more like it

Prunty certainly seems to check all of the boxes in his profile. Now it’s just a matter of chemistry with our young head coach (huge item). I think Shammgod for skills and vision development is also right in line. Let’s finish up the roster and get to work…designing and implementing an offense that puts everyone in position to succeed without compromising defense….and then figure out how to manage the buy-in from the prominent players.

Orlando may not be a major destination for players, but these older coaches…

Just getting to their retirement destination early

I’ll admit I was one of those that wanted Suggs traded in season 2.

LeBron is likely to leave Lakers. It is very interesting to see where he ends up. I like him and I would love to see him on this Magic team mentoring our young guys with his championship experience. But I just do not know how is that feasible

If Jett couldn't earn minutes last year, he's very likely not earning them again this year. That pick was way out of left field. I don't mind them taking a swing on their guy but it looks like it quite obviously isn't going to work out. There's almost zero chance they pick up his option next year and honestly the best case scenario for Jett is to go to a bad team who will just let him play regardless of the outcome...that's not going to be here.

Pretty much

There is always NBA2K. I recommend version NBA2k '14. Lebron was legit there.
