But we know about your bromance. It’s not cute anymore.

They're our second highest rated two man rotation.... Top 3 man rotation (Fultz, Evan, Vooch), so they do play well together. Speaking of rotations did ya'll know Bamba is not in any of our top 7 rotations? Its birch.... Thought that was interesting.

Vuc and Fultz play so well in PnR together and putting Evan, who is the best shooter on this team, provides spacing for them.

Well if thats the case, why not one of DHs many many genetically gifted progeny? Those guys were probably born with a 6pack already inatalled. Lol

cbs sports predictions for a teams has Magic :

Orlando Magic -- Finally admit defeat and trade veterans
It's time. After years of hovering in the middle of the standings, the moment for Orlando to bottom out again is finally at hand. Jonathan Isaac is out for the year. Without DJ Augustin, they lack any consistency at the point guard position. Evan Fournier is on an expiring contract. There's less of a reason to push for the playoffs when attendance is limited or forbidden outright. This is the year for the Magic to start shopping players like Fournier, Terrance Ross and Aaron Gordon. Depending on the sort of offers they get, Nikola Vucevic could be in play as well. That might be a bit aggressive for the milquetoast Orlando front office, but some combination of Fournier, Ross and Gordon is finally going to get dealt this season. The Magic simply have no reason not to move them.

1) We were in the bottom 10 of team offensive rating (Unadjusted and Adjusted) last year. I don’t care if they are “the best we have” — it stinks.

2) Why are you talking about Bamba in this conversation?

Evan makes this TEAM worse. If people can’t see that they should find another sport because basketball isn’t their thing.

Calm down bruh.. Its not that bad.
For OUR team they're at least top three. (Although it varies between Basketball-Reference and stats,nba.com. If I had time and cared THAT much I
d go back and go over both, but I really dont. It could definitely be better.

I brought up Bamba well first because I can talk about whatever the **** I want to talk about, but mainly because I thought he'd have more of an impact with how much he improved protecting the rim and his 3pt shooting. Just thought he'd be more impactful since he's better than birch.

They went "milquetoast" when describing the front office. Ouch!

Seems pretty accurate though.

You understand that the point is to eventually move beyond internal scrimmages and actually play another team, correct?

So comments like “for OUR team they’re at least top three” have no place in an intelligent conversation.

He is listed at 6'1"
https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4700961/jameer-nelson-jr

The 1.85 is a tall 6', so with dad's shoes, Nelson Jr. will be a solid NBA 6'3" !!!

So in the Orlando Magic forum, discussing which lineups of Orlando Magic players work best on the Orlando Magic isn't part of intelligent conversations? What? That's absolutely absurd. There's a whole thread about how Birch is terrible paired with other players and in general, people talk about which rotations of players work best for the team. What are you talking about?

Not gonna lie... I had to look that one up... and I'm pretty well versed too (if I do say so myself lol). I don't think I've seen that word before but it is pretty damn accurate.

They are not wrong. Its like they are afraid of the moves they made in the past that didn't work so they decided to overcompensate by not making any moves lol. That will show them! :lol:
