Send BI to Charlotte and Zion to Portland


ezpz right

 

Cannot believe the pelicans are still a franchise

 

If the concern with Zion is that he misses too many games, then why entertain Ingram? He also misses a lot of games. You're taking a risk either way, go for the guy with the much higher ceiling, Zion.

 

Zion is not going to enjoy Portland Oregon

 

but he can go to voodoo doughnut

 

The restaurant/strip club combos in Portland may entice him

 

this week is gonna be hilarious

 

I can understand Dame wanting to stay in Portland, he loves the city, but my man, how many times are you going to put your faith in the front office only for them to show their complete incompetence yet again??

 

Just the "maybe it'll work this time!" meme over and over again

 

I just can’t think of a package that gets you over the hump. Turn Nurkic and Simons into Ayton? Sharpe and #3 into Pascal and OG? Poetl too? Trading everyone but Dame and Grant like can that even put together a contender? I’m not even sure Dame can be the best guy on a championship team, they might sell off all their prospects for a team whose ceiling is the WCF again.

it’s a rough position.

 

It's so hard to be a Magic fan the last decade plus. We get rid of talent before they blossom and get great young talent but no stars. Really wish we could get like 2 bigger names to propel that amazing youngings we have. Been a Magic fan since 1993 and its so hard to look forward to anotehr season.

 

everyone knows blue star is far superior

showin your whole ass

 

I’ve been thinking about this as Magic fan as well. There’s no move we can make that’ll put us in a position to compete for a championship this next season, or really maybe the next two or three, without some real development from whatever we have now. Hopefully building around Paolo and Franz works out more like Penny/Shaq and Howard/Nelson and not like post Howard with whatever happened with Oladipo, Harris, Gordon, and whoever it was.

Interested in what they do in the draft but I don’t have enough knowledge to say what we should do.

 

It's so obvious that Blazers keeping Dame will just lead to them eventually trading him for pennies in 2 years rather than cashing in now for a big return.

 

Kinda wild they are just looking directly at the Beal situation and being like, hm that's not gonna be us tho

 

It’s me the guy that’s never been to either of those places

 

I actually think those voodoo donuts look terrible

 

They are and so are all donuts

 

More Magic fans??!!

I will say the last couple of seasons have been more enjoyable than what preceded them, even if they haven't made the playoffs. The Vucevic/Fournier/Gordon teams were objectively better based on wins, but also it was a bunch of supporting players miscast as featured guys out of necessity.

They could really go in so many directions, but if they come out of the off-season without adding some shooting, Weltman messed up. I'm scared they're going to go after someone like Ausar Thompson or Anthony Black, both of whom need work on their shot, or one of the frontcourt guys like Jarace Walker who doesn't really have a path to starting here.

 

I hope the Magic become Good

 

Every time I read "as a magic fan" I hear "there are dozens of us!!" lol

 

I just want the Magic to run a "no one under 6'10" lineup" for ultimate choas

 

they need to finish what the cavs started a couple seasons ago
