I really liked Larkin coming out of the draft. But he would be a marginal better backup pg at best.

He is too trigger happy to my taste but really fast.
I don't think he's great solution as he is really really undersized.

Pretty much both DJ and him are anti We-Ham "winsgpan" thing.

I would still rather use MLE on Geroge Hill than on him.

I swear, GMs are 100% told that salary cap is going up. There is no other explenation for his contracts.
Dame just sigend $49 M a year deal.

Apparently he used to abuse Austin Rivers in HS. I think Rivers was Winter Park and Larkin was playing for Dr Phillips.

Now with a sign and trade I think Boston can keep the MLE.

Here's my issue with all of this...... what's the plan? What's the vision? Seriously.

Is it to collect a bunch of long forwards that can't shoot particularly well? Every single person who follows NBA and Magic know we need guards/wings who can create and shoot. Yet that is what we never seem to pursue. I guess you could count the Fultz trade as an attempt, but man that seems like a huge gamble as we don't know if that guy will ever play again. (I know we didn't give up much, but that's not the point).

I'm not a huge fan of the alleged Vooch contract, but really what were the Magic supposed to do? They almost had to resign him after seeing Bamba is not close to being ready. And at this point it seems like one of Bamba, Isaac, or AG has to go. You just drafted yet another PF with length.

I'm trying to get behind the FO, but I just can't see the plan. What is the identity? Are we zigging when the rest of the NBA is zagging? Playing through a Center with limited guard play?

Dang, KD to BRK with Kyrie Irving and DeAndre Jordan. And they got Dinwiddie, LeVert, Jarrett Allen, Joe Harris, Kurucs still on manageable deals and making a way better rotation at-the-start than LAL's barebones operation (with owed picks outgoing). It all started with plucky, underrated roster constructing, and a plucky playoffs appearance. That the rotation was still on cheap dollars meant to KD and Kyrie.. 'why not pair up to NYC (BRK) with a solid cast there?'

Kawhi is the last major piece left. Where will he go?
