Hadn't thought of UTA but with those two huge deals, they've got to be all-in. NOLA is interesting, they dumped off Jrue but extended Adams, so who knows where (they think) they're at...I don't think NOLA or Utah has any use for AG, but any team could benefit from Fournier's shooting and/or expiring deal.
Blazers could use any help they can get, their rotation now has Carmelo, Trent, Rodney Hood and Kanter as rotation off bench. Jones Jr. is starter. wtf?

That’s a team with a ton of good players, but only one 2-way guy (Covington)

My hope is now that Isaac is signed, aggressively shop Evan and AG for SG prospects that might be buried on someone's bench or otherwise underutilized (NAW, Hart, Trent, Barton...) to spread the floor and let the chips fall this season. If Fultz and Cole erupt and bring us up a few seeds-Awesome. If not, hit the lottery anyway...I can't see how we keep Evan by re-signing, so let's try to find a diamond elsewhere, or at least some floor-spreaders because we're now invested heavily in Isaac,Vuc, and Fultz.
who are the contenders that could use our vets NOW?
Would BOS consider something for Nesmith +
Wouldn't AG be exactly what BRK needs?
Couldn't Evan drop right into Klay's spot and shoot 40% for a season?
(not sure of the return on each but I'm trying to see possibilities based on timelines/needs)
Or, consolidate...If Trent is ready, could CJ be had for AG and Fournier? wouldn't that make them a more complete team?
I wouldn't be scared to take a big contract if we were moving two or more (Aminu...) to get exactly what we're missing.
Boston, Utah, Denver, Portland, Philly, and New Orleans seem like “all-in” teams that would trade for win now moves.

or can just trade aminu and ross..thats 23 mill
27. Orlando Magic (22.5)
The algorithm has lost interest.
The 427 of us who regularly watch the Magic can close our eyes and visualize it all: Evan Fournier rounding a Nikola Vucevic screen on the left wing, and rising for a midranger; slow pace, methodical half-court offense, pristine transition defense (important, but, yawn); the Magic never getting to the foul line but also never fouling, so at least games are crisp; a 4-1 loss in the first round.
I will miss Jonathan Isaac being in four places at once on defense, blanketing suckers at every position. Markelle Fultz's jumper isn't as much of a curiosity anymore. (Fultz going from 57% to 73% at the line last season went under the radar.) Mo Bamba, hoped-for cornerstone, is out indefinitely. Doesn't it feel as if Aaron Gordon will fulfill his basketball destiny somewhere else -- like he's killing time in Orlando now?
Chuma Okeke and Cole Anthony should liven up the proceedings. Michael Carter-Williams roared back into relevancy as a marauding off-ball guard and irritant on defense. (Seriously: He ended up bleeding a lot.) Vucevic clowns people with some of the league's most sophisticated pivot work. He's going to bust out a Sikma one day. (Look it up.)
The art is top-notch. David Steele and Jeff Turner are insightful and funny on the call.

AG turns a corner.
Fultz finds an answer to his missing long range shot.
Cole explodes as an efficient volume scorer.
Okeke becomes a great all rounder.
Bamba comes back with a chip on his shoulder.
Vuc has another all-star season.
Fournier plays an off-ball role and excels, and then traded by the deadline for an asset.
MCW stays awesome as the heart and fire of the team.
I feel many of these can be achievable on either a good or a bad team, it just depends how many.

Naw he’s just to big and athletic fo his opponents. His opponents aren’t even complaining when those fouls are being called.
Blake is a massive flopper, Zion just attacks the rim and usually finishes and when he doesn’t he grabs the rebound and goes back up, no flopping or complaining.
You have a weird bias against him.
He's kind of like Shaq, they really don't know how to call it. He probably gets fouled every time, but it doesn't really impact him.pepe1991 wrote:Bakomagic wrote:pepe1991 wrote:every time Zion misses layup, refs call non existing foul.

At least 2 times vs Heat, refs waited if he will make layup, and called foul after he missed.
I didn't say he is flopping, but that refs/NBA pushes him as next big thing, just like they used to push Blake.

They could just move Cole into the starting lineup. Fultz guards twos better than ones anyway.drsd wrote:Nyce_1 wrote:random though: unless the FO wants to pay tax to keep Fournier, he's gone; we all know this. I could really see him do well in Tor.
Orlando must "replace" Fournier next year. Either by resigning him or getting a FA to replace him.
