I'm glad we did this. MCW is needed on this team. Of course other aspects of this roster are still disappointing, but I'm glad MCW will still be here.

Hopefully he can have a healthy year. Last year every time he found a groove he got injured.

I am kind of suprised of the reception. I absolutly love MCW and am glad he wanted to stay with us. With the limited assets that we had we signed four 6'6 guys who have very different skill sets. Aside from trades that will or wont happen i couldnt ask for more. We had very little to spend and the free agent class is not the best speaking lightly.

Once Issac went down the likelihood of an overhaul decreased in my mind drastically. I am not sure you even what to this year with the really weak draft and FA class. This management group will not tank and want to build a culture that is attractive IE Toronto and Miami. I don’t want them to force a move just to blow it up. Wait for the right offers.

We had very little to spend and we spent... very little.

Couldn't ask for more? What in the world... MCW, Canadian guy no one has heard of, Dwayne Bacon, and maybe Gary Clark if we keep our fingers crossed.

Limited assets lol these GMs you worship keep providing us with the limited assets I feel like I'm taking crazy pills these last 4 years.

I'm glad MCW is coming back. I'd like to know the terms of the deal in terms of money.

This also pretty much ends DJ Augustin's time here but that was expected especially with the arrival of Cole Anthony.

If you guys don't see the plan, you're all crazy

I mean you take a 38 win team, subtract isaac, add in Cole, chuma, and bacon, and that's clearly a championship contending team! :lol:

Just so you all know if I was GM I’d trade every single player. I wouldn’t give a f**k

I dunno if you've seen Cedric's multiple comments for months that we will have a ton of cap space next summer (we won't) and that is when we'll make our splash.

OKC which everyone seems to love right now was commited to mediocrity since Durant left until PG made the decision for Presti and demanded a trade. 4 years of mediocrity under Westbrook without any young talent.
We just made playoffs for the second time, with injury ravaged team, with above average young core. This year we added two more promising young players. We can always go OKC route and trade all our veterans. Its the easiest way, everyone on this board could do it. If someone wants to lose more next year that was not the best offseason, but in my eyes we got a little better.

That is quite the stretch to compare where we are to OKC who had an MVP on their team.

OKC now is doing it the easiest way :lol:

jesus christ. Orlando GMs clock in for an hour per season to pick their 15th and make their 2nd rounder trade. You give Orlando all the credit in the world for signing Dwayne **** Bacon to a deal but OKC getting 13 first round picks.... eh too easy.

LORD THANK YOU FOR NOT MAKING ME A THUNDER FAN OUR 38 GAMES WON WILL BE AMAZING COMPARED TO THEIR 33

Was one of my favorite Magic players to watch last season tbh. But hope he plays alot @ the 2 & 3 again, to give Cole enough playing time.

yeah man, any idiot can collect 19 1st round picks over the next 5 years, but like you said, it takes REAL SKILL to bring back the same team every year and add a rookie!

Atleast going into next years playoffs, we can all laugh at OKC and their 10 wins while bragging about our 35 wins. Sure we'll both miss the playoffs and they will likely end up with the #1 pick, but atleast we will have the joy of winning more meaningless games than them!!

How soon can Evan be traded after opting in?

Any chance we still move Aaron?

Nothing is gonna change. This is the sad reality for Magic fans. We need a new GM for that to happen.
