2016 Official Speculation Thread: Episode V - The Preseason Strikes Back

[Orlwillbeback]

I still maintain that Hezonja will eventually start at SF this season.

Gordon at the 3 would make this team tough defensively but you need Hezonja out there with Fournier on the wings to open things up especially with Elfrid Payton at point guard.

Really? Gordon looked way farther ahead than Hezonja last season. I really can't see that happening.

i just don't see Gordon as a 3 and you need to be able to spread the floor and operate better offensively.

I am not saying Hezonja is the better player though.

I agree and I've always thought that Gordon is better off as a four.

Didn't wanna start a new thread for this.... but...... TIC TOC till we see some action!!!

OCT 3rd..... can't come any sooner!

The new-look Orlando Magic will begin their preseason Oct. 3 in Memphis, Tenn. The Memphis Grizzlies have announced their exhibition schedule, and the Grizzlies’ slate of games will open with the matchup against the Magic at FedEx Forum.

That's quite early on actually, camps don't usually open up until October 1st so look like they start earlier this year.

Best time of the year to do it, but I can't run one this year will be a bit busy.

Basketball at the Olympics completes on August 21. After a week's rest, I would thin that teams should start their unofficial organisation (players-only events) around September 1.

I don't know about other teams but I know in the past, our players have started flying in after Labor Day weekend to get started.

Last season camp was Sept 26 and the first preseason game was Oct. 3rd. Looks like we're just doing the same this year.

Doesn't matter it'll be 2016 and probably still won't have a preseason game more watchable than the playboy channel scrambles I watched in 5th grade.

Garino will play in Olympics for Argentina with Manu Ginobili and Luis Scola. Gregg Popovich watched Garino vs. Team USA in Vegas last week.

Sucks for us. Smitty said we had serious interest in him. Would've been a good project wing to groom that would've eventually turned into AG's backup 3&D.

[agustin1981-ARG]

The Garino´s contract is not guaranteed. May be he need to stay after the preseason in the 15th roster. But for sure the Spurs at least will move him to the D-League.

Here in my country is the great sport news of the day ...another argentinian player in the NBA.

Tonight in my city we have Argentina vs Croatia. It´s a four (France and Serbia too) tournament for three days before the Olympics Games.
I´m Really exiting to see Hezonja playing tonight
