It may be wise to trade Bamba while his trade value is still somewhat relatively high. I could def. see him being included in a blockbuster trade this summer.

It's a bunch of bottom of the roster guys. They may not win a game.


Pretty much, they are pretty lucky that the wiz suck too.

I think this is my takeaway from all of this. Either you think he's worth keeping and developing or sell him now because his trade value will only get worse from here. The Magic don't really need Bamba if their front court rotation is going to be between Vucevic, Birch, and Isaac playing spot minutes at 5. I don't think it was a bad pick, so much as really poor asset management. It's the same reason I was always skeptical about drafting Okeke while signing Aminu the same summer with Isaac and Gordon already here.

I could see Gordon and Bamba being shopped as a package deal.

Can't wait for the day where Isaacs's offense isn't forced to come off of offensive putbacks and transition buckets.

Certainly makes me think that our front office is completely inept in every way.

I mean we're pretty square in garbage time and Bamba still can't get any burn. There's something more than "conditioning" going on.

It's sickening, and that's despite him having a smaller guy on him in the post all night where he has been begging to get the ball.

Bamba was fined for attitude issues before so who knows.

Does a Gordon + Bamba + #15 + future pick(s) get us on the phone with Washington in regards to Beal?

This isn't true. He was late to a practice.
