I think that’s the high-end outcome. I don’t believe this team is that good.

I was doubtful myself... why would Denver want him and that contract? He doesn’t even fit the roster.

Denver matched the Grant offer so that can be laid to rest.

They offered the same amount. He still signed with Detroit.

Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier for Gary Harris and Will Barton?

Yuck.

Fournier for Barton, sure. I don't want any piece of Harris, for Gordon or Fournier.

I could imagine asking for Hampton to be included in any deal.

I don't think the Nuggets would do Fournier for Barton, nor do I think they'd include Hampton without a FRP coming back (they gave up a future first to get him in the first place).

My bad, I should've clarified. I meant the Hampton addition to your proposal. Not as extra to a Fournier for Barton swap.

Apologies, I misread the shams tweet.

Yeah, we'll be in contention for a play-in spot, not for playoff seeding. End up with a pick in the 10-14 range.

Middle of the road again.... with no real moves being made. Can these guys get fired already?

I’m totally in on the fire Weltman and Hammond train right now. These guys have literally are destroying the fan base of this franchise with this passive way they run this team. There’s absolutely nothing to get excited about if you’re a Magic fan. These guys need their walking papers.

So much for the so-called "respected names" GM that we have. It seems that no one is even making a deal with us.

Are they really gonna sell us the idea of running it back with basically the same roster?

There is our big move guys. Hope it was worth the wait.

I think we need to fire the front office guys.

RookieStar · Post #494 » by **RookieStar** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 4:44 am

Lol wut? No one. Wanted him so he came back?

Bensational · Post #495 » by **Bensational** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 4:45 am

I guess we really are running it back...

MagicStarwipe · Post #496 » by **MagicStarwipe** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 4:46 am

I just don't believe Fournier will be traded. WeHam will be hoping for a contract year Vuc like performance from him to keep us in 7-8 seed territory.

Looks he got a slight raise.

He opted out of $2.13M and appears to have signed for over $3M.

Tragics

I think we need to start an online petition to fire WeHam. This is pathetic and insulting to the fanbase

Good for him, sucks for our cap space?
