I'm cool with him staying. It would at least be something new to watch. Would much rather watch him play than Ennis.

If he can get healthy i would not mind bringing him back on a discount. He provides shooting.

How much is cheap? Because he might become our leading scorer and earn some offers from decent teams. To keep him we'd probably have to overpay.

Cedric I hope this isn’t creepy but you were the first one to come to mind when I saw our return with the Bulls trade. You spoke this into existence, I’m happy for you.

He has the same back problem that Evan had. The last time I saw him, he looked like he added a little weight.

Honestly I would rather not have him suit up. I doubt he's in the plans beyond this season. And why would he be? If he plays, he instantly becomes the veteran with inflated usage we all hate, as he takes shots and minutes from guys who might actually matter.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

He has to stay due to roster needs. We’ve only have 10 healthy players. Isaac Fultz done for year. Cole Harris are all currently hurt on TBD

TRoss
OPJ
Birch
Bamba

Hampton

Okeke
Bacon
Ennis

If heakthy6, otto is one of the best 3&d in the game

Imagine a front court rotation

Otto, chuma, wcj, JI and mo

That's can defend and spread

Not a front court rotation, it’s a hospital ward

I see no reason why he wouldn’t be in the future plans.

I don't have any problem with Otto Porter Jr. getting some burn at SF the rest of the year. That's pretty much the one spot where the Magic don't have a young player who needs to get developmental minutes the rest of this season.

PG and SG have Anthony and Hampton. PF has Okeke. C has Carter Jr and Bamba.

Otto is really only competing with Ennis and Bacon, two guys who also don't have a future here.

Uh.. is this dude gonna get us some wins? Then heck no!!

Anyhoo... so how many 6'6-6'8 "wings" do we have now? With the addition of Cade ( speaking into existence ) we have :

1. Harris
2. Bacon
3. Ennis
4. Otto
5. Rj
6. Okeke

Did we just do what the Hawks did of yesteryears ( Jonhsons, Livingston, etc ) where they signed evrey available 6'7 dudes?

Well thats depressing

Hes and wendell are good enough to atleast keep the team slightly competitive, and so if RJ or harris are any good, we might end up winning a couple meaningless games

I was really hoping for a starting line up post deadline of

Carter
Okeke
bacon
RJ
Cole

Ennis and Otto deals expire at the end of this year, so Cade (also speaking it into existence) won't get to play with them. Bacon's deal isn't guaranteed next year either, so there is 3 off your list.
