Some good practice videos today. Especially enjoyed Mo's. Also seemed like there's a possibility that he and WC could play a little together. He seemed welcoming to have him here.

Would be HUGE if both developed here and could be a nice rotation for a bit.

If you have a smart phone (some people don't), I have the orlando magic app and watch the videos there. Otherwise, can always watch on their website. https://www.nba.com/magic/video

To me, the best coach in Magic history thus far!

Am i the only one who hopes we find a way to hire Juwan Howard to be our head coach?

I would prefer Penny just for the fact he was a former player. Maybe talk Jameer into coaching but then Fultz will run in the paint and out, I hated when Meer did that

You mean the coach who was thrown out of a game for trying to throw hands just because he didnt like the opposing coach complaining about him?

Love it. Juwan's OG like that.

So when the Bulls pick before us this year, will everyone be fired?

I never understood why successful young college coaches are so quick to jump to the pros.

The pros eat coaches alive and spit them out without a second thought.

College gives you a chance to be a Bobby Bowden or a Coach K. You can build a legacy in college an really help mold the future of young men. The one and done only impacts a small handful of players. Many stay all four years.

Juwan Howard is off to one heck of a start at program he has a great bond with. He can build something special there in a way the NBA doesn’t offer. I don’t see why he would leave. Different priorities I suppose.

Maybe, but this was a good trade regardless of where that Bulls pick lands. These were standard protections and the risk was baked in. We needed to bottom out and get more shots at players in the lottery.

With that said, I think that Bulls are going to end up somewhere in the 10-12th range. They have some more than winnable games left on their schedule. It would take some horrendously bad luck for them to end up in the top 3, but it doesn't make this a bad trade if they somehow do.

If we don't get that pick, I think the trade is a failure. Losing a 1st and a Bulls team with a top 4 pick means the pick we end up with will be pretty trash.

Washington won, Detroit won, Chicago lost. Today was a good day.

We are not losing pick when it not conveys this year, it goes 2022 top 4 protected.

And if it goes to 2022 top 4 they can't give us their 2023 and I haven't see anywhere reported that if 2023 can't be conveyed that it rolls over to 2024, so not sure if its 2nds or what. Strange that it isn't reported anywhere.
