Re: Official Speculation Thread Pt.LXII
I'm telling you guys we already have our big 3 , Oladipo, Harris , and Vucevic . These three guys will lead our team for years to come . Oladipo will be a superstar . I am hoping we pick up a PG though because I think I prefer Oladipo at SG . That way he can concentrate on scoring and defense . I think he will always be a decent assist guy , but I don't want him to be hamstrung by having to facilitate the entire offense

These threes are not enough to take us past 2nd round, please be realistic.

i dont think anything has been shown from Oladipo to say he will be a superstar. Unless you are watering down what a superstar is.

Harkless/LeBryan Nash(2nd rd pick)
Harris/Nicholson
Vucevic/Cauley-Stein(12th pick)
That sure looks like a 8th seed 1 and done for years squad
No, not at all.

Re: Official Speculation Thread Pt.LXII
there is a lot of speculation and conjecture going on in here lol. Although i will say that i will always have a problem with someone saying that so and so WILL NOT happen, like How do you know for you to make a statement like that? What's your reasoning? Where's your Delorean? Are you looking at that Sports Almanac that Biff had?

How do you know this? It's still way too early to know this. They're still young and can all get way better. I'm not saying those three will do it though. I'm just saying we don't know yet. I still think we need an allstar or a superstar to start being a little more serious.

How do you know this ? I love how you have no faith in players who are showing promise playing in the NBA , but you absolutely believe a kid who has played a couple of college games is the answer . You sir are an idiot

He has shown flashes , but that doesn't matter . He has just played 9 games and you have already made up your mind?

its actually the other way around. he has played 9 games and YOU have already made up your mind.
you have declared him a young superstar and if he doesnt develop into that, you will think something is wrong with him. Similar to how some people are criticizing Harkless right now
I am still watching and seeing how he develops, instead of proclaiming what he is 9 games into his career. can he develop into a superstar, I certainly hope so. though they do need to settle on a position for him. again though, it depends on what you call a super star vs a regular all-star.

No reason to call him an idiot. If you really think Oladipo is going to have a better career than Wiggins, Parker or Randle than you could easily be called the same.

O ye of little faith, Oldadipo has superstar written all over him . I don't see how it's not obvious to you guys unless your just looking at numbers alone . As I said , I want him to play SG , I think that is his natural position . I would like to see Afflalo slide to SF and let Oladipo start at SG . Harkless could be our sixth man and get a alot of minutes backing up Oladipo and Afflalo

You sir are an idiot . He directed his post at me in a condescending manner , just as you did . If you or anyone else does that I will return the favor in kind .
As far as Wiggins , Parker , and Randle go , they have proved nothing . The way you people talk about kids who have done nothing like they are already hall of famers or something is ridiculous . Always looking at the next big thing instead of appreciating our current players and the potential they have

Re: Official Speculation Thread Pt.LXII
if including Harris's name as part of a big 3 you mean a large SF them yes you're right. Otherwise that's a joke. He'd be a role player next to a real superstar.TNMagicFan wrote:I'm telling you guys we already have our big 3 , Oladipo, Harris , and Vucevic .

Re: Official Speculation Thread Pt.LXII
it's way too early to say that dipo will reach superstar status because he has a few major holes to fix. the good news is that we can't rule it out at this point, either.

He obviously proved himself at the college level , which Wiggins, Parker , and Randle have not yet . I'm not saying that getting one of those guys is a bad thing , but I'm sick of people talking like they are a "sure thing" superstar and dismissing the potential of our current players . NBA history is littered with players who were considered a "sure thing" that ended up being huge busts

Yet another ignorant statement . How do you know that ? Harris has a lot of potential and he showed it last season when he actually got a chance to play . Why you people write off players before giving them a chance to develop is beyond me .
