He'll earn those badges this season. Trust. He's already got solid playmaking attributes, e.g., ball handle: 86, pass accuracy: 80, pass IQ: 77, pass vision: 69, and Speed with ball: 74. Badges like Dimer, Handles for Days, Unpluckable, Ankle Assassin, Lob City Passer, Killer Combos, Needle Threader, etc are uploading.

You gotta cash that in with the best possible player to help you. The time is now.

Who are you targeting?

I agree...assuming ownership is ok with a blank check to Weltman. If so, my understanding is that the MLE can also be used as a TPE, so it can even be for a trade, where we just take somebody in - not necessarily only a FA signing...so there could be a LOT of potential targets to consider. Basically, anyone making less than $14.4m (or willing to sign for less as a FA) could be considered a candidate.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Gosh I must really sound like a broken record but some of you guys need to chill on the Anthony Black pro and anti side lol. The guy is 21 we really have no idea where he will go. He isn’t a PG right now but that doesn’t mean he won’t be.

Yes, it can be used like a TPE.

Also, Daniel Gafford makes $14.386m. 8-)

wonder if there's a deal to be made.
#1
goga for Hardy

#2 (wink- totally separate)
#25 for Gafford

The Magic currently are +1400 to win the 2026 NBA Championship. 5th in the odds.
OKC +240
Hou +800
Cavs +800
NY +850
Orl +1400
Minn +1400

I like our chances against Cleveland.

We've arrived. I'm stoked.

The MLE is $14.1M, not $14.4M, so Gafford could not be absorbed by it since he makes *slightly* more than it is projected to be.

Sorry pal.

Kind of crazy. That is respect beyond just the east being weak. Higher than Denver.

Maybe Black should switch numbers. 3 players all wearing 0 ruptured their Achilles. Dame, Haliburton, and Tatum.

We're a PG & 6th man away from being a true contender

Optimus_Steel · Post #1257 » by **Optimus_Steel** » Mon Jun 23, 2025 11:14 pm

The more I think about it the more it makes sense to trade draft pick for a decent backup PG. An improved version of Corey. Then use free agency for a swingman vet G/SF.

I think Magic/Spurs has a chance to cater to the European market. 1pm slot is perfect.

Its propably becouse we have easier road not becouse we are better.
In the end respect will help us getting veterans on bargain deals. All part of the plan.

Does the FO add a legitimate starting (scoring) guard to the roster this summer?
