If magic are serious about winning now, buying any type of SF is start.
Bamba or Birch, 14-16 mpg isn't that big of a difference.
However, playing Isaac as starter hurts team more and more, his net rating and efficiency are on free fall as team is forced to play 4 on 5

I'm not surprised Birch is playing well. I said it a bunch of times that we'd get better production at the back 5 spot if we replaced Bamba with Birch. No brainer considering how bad Mo has been.drsd wrote:Mc-o wrote:If they want to win then they would let birch take all of mo Bambas minutes . Idk if they will but it’s pretty obvious birch is currently better , especially on PNR defense.
That's the rub.
Should Orlando fully commit to winning now, which means Birch over Bamba. Or focus on "player development", which is almost a moniker for tanking - a fine line in that.
I think Bamba is actually injured and Birch will get minutes. Furthermore, I would expect Bamba to be brought back VERY slowly, ensuring continuing minutes for Birch.
But this team is more in a win-later mode than a win-now mode. An #8 seed in the playoffs is desirable, but not at the cost of developing Bamba (and Isaac).

The crazy thing is MOST nba teams don’t have a dominating center and they are doing fine. Than we have the Magic who are always in love with big guys, and see where we are

I emphatically disagree. It is my opinion that the Magic must find a PG rotation and ...
