Official Spec Thread: Heart and Hustle Magic 2.0

[BadMofoPimp]

To be honest if anyone's job said they have a business trip to Vegas, I'm pretty sure every employee would be down lol.

i turned down Blackhat this year (though to be honest, i have turned down BH before)

Yeah. I had a layover in Vegas. I spent an hour or two there and never left the airport, but I felt I'd seen more than enough. We aren't all wired the same. I think Vegas would be one of the last places I'd ever willingly visit.

Once, I had a layover in Vegas and we missed our connecting flight. They gave me a free hotel room at the Doubletree for a flight the next day. I went to the cheapest casino I could find and played Craps for like 6 hours and came out $400 richer. That is the extent of my gambling experience because I walked in there with $100 to lose and came out ahead. But, I have no desire to go back or gamble anymore. It was just for the experience and lots of free Guinness!

Cap-space.

Only $2,000,000 of Fultz contract is guaranteed for 2023/24. His contract becomes fully guaranteed if he is not waived by June 30, 2023.

....

So Harris and Ross have a couple of clauses in their contracts that effects the Magic cap.

Harris:
1) if the Magic make the 2nd round of the playoffs, he gets a $350k bonus.
2) if he is the NBA's Most Improved Player, he gets a $500k bonus.

Ross:
1) He can earn an extra $500k if his defensive rating is below 100 and he plays at least 63 games while averaging at least 22 minutes per game.
2) He would make an additional $500k if the Magic reaches the NBA Finals.



We can snicker at both, but they all effect Orlando's spend threshold.

Per Ross, on his podcast, he confirmed the Magic hired Courtney Lee as a development coach. I really like the hire.

Fraschilla said his son works for the Magic also.

He was really good on the podcast with Chris Mannix...
good comparisons too...
Suggs is like Billups (he also has much respect for Masai but was shocked and happy for Magic)
Sengun is reminiscent of Vuc

For Laker fans, his miss made him a MVP in their eyes

Hopefully this board migrates to newer forum software someday soon.
Like Xenforo. Then, copy/pasting stuff like this would be a breeze.
And the feature I want the most.... clicking on a thread takes me right to where I last left off reading.

Could be an interesting reference point in the impending Wendell Carter Jr. negotiations.

Williams is clearly better IMO.

[basketballRob]

Robert Williams has a bigger rap sheet than Mo or WCJ.

oh god, for guy who is only good at trying hard. 6'8, can't shoot, no post moves. Basically deluxe Faried

[Bergmaniac]

He's a way better defender than Faried.

[Magicfanatic82]

Would you take WCJ on that deal right now?

Robert Williams and Mo Bamba, the per 36 darlings.


Robert Williams might actually be worth close to that money in just the 18 minutes a game he played last year.
