nah, he changed it a while ago. At least 3 weeks, maybe a month. I do think they told him though because his last tweet was "enough is enough". Then a day or two later you got the story saying AA is open to being traded.


So he's had the twitter egg profile pic for a few weeks now?


Well he deleted, or it was completely gone for like a week, then he reactivated it and it was the egg and it's been a couple of weeks, yes.

Tobias will really flourish next year.

AA was taking up his shots.

Tobias for president!

I can see a scenario that looks like

Cle gets: #4 (Embiid), #12

Philly gets, #1(Wiggins)

Orl gets, #3(Whoever Bucks dont take; probably Exum) and contract of Jarrett Jack


I could also seeing Nelson getting flipped somewhere else for another pick, Maybe LA for Nash and 7th???

I'd be content with #3, #7 and #56


Wait, so philly gives up only the 3rd pick and gets the first?


I meant to add the #10 somewhere in there. I am out of my mind today

More may be coming in regard to the Fournier trade (e.g., taking on salary for future assets), but I like it just fine as is. Dude has a really nice looking shot.

So far I've immediately liked every trade Hennigan has ever made. Go me!

No, if philly is willing to trade 3 and 10 to get the first pick, you stay out of it.

Philly will draft wiggins, bucks draft parker cleveland drafts embiid

you still get exum and you keep the 12th pick

So Oladipo is our starting SG now. Fournier backup SG. I guess that's what Hennigan wants after the PG experiment.

Oladipo to SG was the plan all along.

They wanted him to learn the PG position...ala Westbrook. I don't think it went that bad. I'm sure he'll rotate positions, but he'll be our starting SG now.

So it looks like Exum is still the Magic's target. Having him and Oladipo in the back court would be a nightmare for most teams.

lmbo yeah he's emo, we all know.

It was right after the draft order thing because he had tweeted a pic of his daughter with a magic jersey on hoping for the #1 pick, and i checked a day or two later and the account was gone!! I am sure he knew this was coming, but didn't know where.

I thought Oladipo playing the one was good for his development as it allowed him to become a better passer and ballhandler.

could also be to see exactly what Dipo's skills were. Was he a Thabo that they could barely pass him the ball unless he was shooting, can he be passable or could he be a secondary ball handler and initiate the offense if needed. Now they know what they have with him and it lets them know what kind of back court mate he can play with.

Yeah, I guess so. I'm bummed that we gave away arguably one of our best trade asset for what we got..

Why? Look at his adjusted stats per 40mpg.

He's a 17/5/4 guy against NBA talent right now. Noone wants to give me a 10-20 pick for Afflalo? Okay, I'll get a young guy who I have data on.

Hennigan may have done it again. I'm cautiously optimistic to see.

Today's NBA is analytics. Speculation not based on data has gone the way of the dinosaurs. Right now, there is a huge information gap between GMs and fans.


Good post.


except no one plays 40mpg. Show me his stats at 31mpg, that is more realistic. then you are talking about 13/3.5/2 as a starter.


that 13/3.5/2 projection is for a 6'7" 21 year old guard locked in for 2-3 more years at 20th pick contract scale...those #'s would be an excellent value for $1.5 million
