Hmm, yeah I just saw the Denver McGee deal.

WeHam better make up their mind. Teams are going to start making moves so they aren’t left with nothing. They will not all sit around waiting for us.

Not sure Javale McGee is going to put a stop to any trades at all.

I believe it. I’ve heard the stories from people who have worked for him. Typical de... you know what, I’ll stop myself right there.


I have been gone from Orlando for over 10 years now. Did I miss something? Why is everyone scared to speak their mind on this asshat?

Speaking as someone who personally knows/grew up with members of the Morgan family, I believe that a lot of people resent their success and fill in gaps as to why they dislike the family as a whole with presumptions that aren’t accurate or true. Not calling anyone out here—this type of thing is rampant in the legal community especially.

I’m aware of certain incidents and behavior that looks/sounds awful, but I promise you that their family generally has done a lot of good in the Orlando community—a lot of which was not done for attention or publicity.

Before I get everyone pissed off, someone DM me these incidents. I’m not denying anything—I’m curious to read into it as I may not have known about things that happened when we were kids.

Doesn’t look like it impacts anything discussed in the AG offer.

I think it takes them out of the bidding for Birch. AG still in play.

Assuming it comes down to ONE non-lottery first round pick, a filler and ONE young prospect ...

Who do you all prefer that young prospect to be?

Langford?

Nesmith?

RJ Hampton?

I’m not super high on any of them but I’d go Nesmith, Langford, then Hampton.

RJ has Westbrook speed and hops... but he also has Westbrook’s shooting accuracy. His ceiling is much higher than Boston’s prospect but his floor is more likely. Do we need another player that can’t shoot?

Of those three, Hampton is No. 1 for me personally.

If you expand the list to other teams, Gary Trent Jr. and Jay Nowell would be ahead of them even though they are closer to getting paid.

Steve Clifford will quit if these guys trade Vucevic out from under him.

On second thought...

The Athletic saying the general frameworks of the Boston and Denver deals are...

Gary Harris + RJ Hampton + 1st round pick

Aaron Nesmith + 1st round pick

Boston based writer Jared Weiss says the Celtics package isn't enough based on what Denver is offering. Sounds like Orlando is waiting to see if Ainge will come up and beat the Denver offer.
