This will be an important game to lose.

I wouldn't mind if we gave Jeff Green 50 shots this game.

Games like tonite is what decide between Jackson/Tatum to Monk/Foxx or Porzingis to Mario.

This is a crucial L

Wish even would tweak something and Mario could get 30 plus minutes. Would help the tank and let give him some much needed minutes

Biggest must lose to date. I cannot stress how important a loss is here.

I have a bad feeling Ross and the wings may have a good shooting game and get out of their slump. That would be very disappointing.

If only we lost both of those Tor games, we wouldn't be in such a terrible situation hoping we lose to the kings

now we have zero breathing room.

The mediocrity on the court will be astounding.

I'm concerned that the magic are going to win tonight when we need to lose. The Kings are just as bad as us.

LOL this is Lonzo Ball game. let's see which team tries to suck more. I'm betting EP has one of his best games tonight :wink:

Mario has a big game and leads to Divac overpaying on a draft night trade.

This is ridiculous. Rest from what? SAC is one of the worse teams in the league and not sniffing anything close to the PO. League really need to start looking at these "planned rests"

LOL see my post above. They want to have as high a pick as possible. Do they still have their own pick in this year's draft or did they give that up too? LOL

Why would Sac want to win the lottery? The gave Philly the chance to swap picks this year with them in part of the awful Nick staukas deal. They can get lucky and land the #1 pick just to hand it to Philly. Kings are the Knicks of the West.

Did they? LOL there's no chance they lose it to Philly though. they're just trying to make sure you guys don't get that third pick. LOL! They want Lonzo. I don't think EP wants to see him in Magic uniform either. Think Lonzo and Simmons on the floor at the same time. Ball handling like no other team.

Yes

Philadelphia has the right to swap its 2017 1st round pick for Sacramento's 2017 1st round pick protected for selections 11-30 (if this pick falls within its protected range, then Philadelphia's swap right and Sacramento's obligation to Philadelphia will be extinguished

They can't get Ball. Ball is a projected top 2 pick. Only way they land ball is if Philly wins the lottery and Sacs finish with the second worse record. Philly is projected to have the 4-5th pick. If Sac lands the 1,2 or 3rd pick, they will lose it to Philly. That's why full tanking makes no sense. Not smart people.
