Official Speculation Thread ‘18-19’: XIX: Rise of the BIG

[Skin]

See how long it takes for a thread to pop up about why we should sign Isaiah Cannan

I'd be willing to sign the original Isaiah Thomas right now if he were willing to give up the short shorts.

When are people going to realize that Evan simply needs to be replaced?

thats people's answer to every player here.

Jameer is a scoring PG, we need a pass first PG.
Tobias Harris isnt a superstar, lets trade him for trash.
Payton is a pass first PG, we need a scoring PG.
Dipo cant play PG, lets trade him for a PF to play with Vuc, when we already have a PF.
Lets trade our new PF because things arent working right away the first year.
Evan is having a slump, he obviously needs to be traded.

rinse, cycle, repeat.

Negative. People's answers here are let's keep Evan and Vuc so we can win the Championship.

Terrible. That's not even close to being accurate. Nobody's labeled those guys franchise players. We have a group of core players that are perfect compliments to an elite player or two. The inability to draft or sign one has been the actual problem with this team the last 6 years, not any one individual player. Come on man

Been standing behind that one for 3 years now. Still won’t budge. Can’t get paid like an all star and fail to score, against the best team in the league, in a competitive game with Orlando losing by 6pts.

Why do you think it's been so hard to draft an elite player? These guys have been buoys keeping us afloat right above the draft range where we can get an elite prospect! We haven't been able to rebuild properly because we haven't tanked hard enough.

Are they bad? No. Are they great? No. They are the best players on a bad team and that has softened the hearts of the natural fan.

Jameer's scoring and passing weren't a problem. His defense was. Tobias, Payton...even Hezonja.... I'm not crying over losing them. Why the sentiment of regret here? I hated when the team chose Evan over Dipo.

I thought Tiderulz made a pretty good funny, but now people are getting serious about it and that's making me scratch my head. There's always going to be good reasons for getting rid of bad to mediocre players. Are people regretting those losses???

I get the Dipo one, but that's the only one. Is the fear that Evan or Vuc will go on to have Dipo-like breakouts?

yes, but once he does, watch this come out

[Ducklett]

Evan is in a slump as much as the 0-10 Brazilian Mordkaiser top diving the inhib turret while screaming "JAJAJAJAJA" is in a slump.

Cannan would be a huge upgrade over Grant.

I agree. Only guys on that list I am unhappy with dealing were Oladipo and Tobias (for nothing).

It almost makes me wonder if posters follow other professional sports? Fans putting mediocre/average starters in hypothetical trade scenarios is nothing new for sports fans.. same with homers defending said mediocre/average starters. Hardly unique to our fanbase. You have to look at things objectively and ditch the homer rose tinted glasses sometimes.

[pepe1991]

This year Harris is low key better than Oladipo and fringe allstar.
This aint fluke, 20 games in ,21,4 ppg ,8,8 rpg ,2,0 apg, 52%FG, 43% for 3, 82% FTs , guy has been monster and best player on team that has 14-6 record and holds 2# on West.

Both him and Dipo would be massive upgrades for Magic roster.
