I actually think AB is showing some really good signs around the rim. If he sustained these offensive numbers without the turnovers it would be a breakout, but the turnovers are really hurting him.

Just let him play defense, attack the basket and shoot corner 3s and I think we will be happy with him. I don't think he has the ball handling or decision making to full time playmake. Set him free from that duty, the burden will be lifted and he is going to be fine.

But I mean that brings us to our bigger problem is that we just don't have anyone that great at making plays for other, which is one of the reasons he's been forced to handle the ball in the first place. They probably do just need to lean on Paolo, Franz and Suggs given what we have. I'd consider some point Franz minutes again.


This. He is - at best - a developing wing/swingman.


So, we're 3 deep at two positions and don't have a serviceable PG or C

I rather have Cole than Tyus. At least Tyus has been a great Vet voice off the bench what I have noticed.

He is horrible. I never wanted him (nor Ingles nor KCP). So that the "fans wanted him so much" phrase is not really true. I don't want to hear that this is the example of fans don't know nothing about basketball. I think only 30% of Magic fans wanted him but they were really loud. I hope we will get somebody for him and Jett somebody who can contribute.

I'm sure they would have brought Cole back at the minimum but that was possible since we traded him. Please correct me if I'm wrong but you usually have to wait a while (a year later or at the start of the next FA period) to resign the player.

Google AI says:

No, an NBA team cannot sign a player who was traded and then waived by another team in the same season
, but the player can be re-signed by his original team after being cut. However, the team that waived the player still has to pay the player their guaranteed salary, and the new team must sign the player to a new contract and abide by all salary cap rules and other restrictions


Still kind of confusing but I was always told no, so I reckon they would have to wait a season. Maybe they cannot claim him off waivers, but could sign him after?

IMO this says more about Mosely than it does Tyus Jones…

But I don’t think people really want to go there with that assessment.
