They want AG and Dipo, give it to them. You can still roll with Elf, Evan/Mario, George, ?, Vuc with enough cap space to max out 1 player to play alongside Paul George. Sign Horford and that's a contender.

Getting Paul George automatically makes us one of the top places to come as a FA.

To me it's a no-brainer that if Paul George is available and he would want to come here since we have Vogel you do whatever it takes to get him.

Executives around the league are still shocked the Magic traded Tobias Harris last trade deadline for pennies on the dollar

@SportsWhispers
Orlando would've been able to receive a combination of 2 1st rounders and 2 young assets for him this summer.


Still stings.

I HATED losing Harris as he was one of my favorite players, but I eventually got over it. The fact that we just straight up salary dumped him for Skiles' garbage-ass buddies just to satisfy his delusion that they would help make a playoff push just disgusts me.

Harris doesn't fit our roster and we need big cap space? Fine. Just don't dump him for expiring garbage when we could get picks and young players on cheap contracts that barely affect the cap.

What a f#cking disaster the Skiles era was. At least he kept the seat warm for Vogel before he quit like a pathetic loser.


Exactly. We won, what, 10 more games than previous season? Still, a very bad season IMO, we should have hit playoffs.

We fell short of playoffs, fell short of Zingis, had a coach who wasn't into it, said coach leaves us, traded Harris for garbage, ended up with the 11th pick. The Skiles era was horrible.

BUT! We found the silver lining. We got Vogel. All is well.

EP, Vuc, #11, S&T Fournier as well if he agrees to go there. I think Indiana does this is if they really fear George will leave.

If we get Paul George for any of these packages being thrown around here, that doesn't include AG and/or Mario, I'll personally buy that poster a Tesla Model S.

Memphis clearly seems to be in rebuild mode with the hire of Tisdale. Marc Gasol anyone?????

Could help in the Conley Sweepstakes. Say something like EP/Vuc + #11 + LAL Pick for Gasol (or something like this)

Conley for whatever $
Resign Evan

I'm too tired to figure out our depth chart if that happened, but I know I like it :D

Did you guys know CJ Watson had these huge ass arm sleeves?

Nope... pretty unexpected. I guess it's hard to notice when he's always wearing sleeves over the sleeves...

I did. I saw him at El Potro on Cinco DE mayo. Had it not been the case though I would've never known.


I did. I saw him go 3 for 5 from the field for 7 points in the last Magic game about a month or so ago.

I don't get these stupid Paul George rumors. Why would the Pacers trade a 26 year old stud? Just because we hired Vogel doesn't mean we're going to become the Orlando Pacers.
