The Orlando Magic Shouldn't Be This Good 

i feel like indiana has to improve defensively to even be a threat in the east

​@@kameronsmith4556I think the Pacers would beat the Magic in a 7 game series

@@REMINISC3NT116haliburton and role players won’t win in a series, magic already blew them out this season. Their defense is the worst I saw this season plus magic have the personnel to guard haliburton

@@YourWorstNightmare3333 Celtics blew us out by 51 but the next game we won by 10. One game doesn't translate to playoffs 7 game series format buddy

@@REMINISC3NT116 Prob now with siakam but the magic prob wouldve won before that

Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed, thanks!

Cole can stay as 6th man

@@malthecreator_yea true but he’s a bucket and only 23, what if a team sees Cole as there pg of the future and wants to give up a substantial return? U don’t turn that down.

Not when we signed him for another 3 years at a ridiculously cheap rate. Hes too important as a sixth man to give up.@@OwskiiiGaming

JamesBu! Thanks brother, miss chatting with you.

He’s defintely gonna add more magic

Wade ez

Actually a hard choice. Wade is playmaking and offball defence while kawhi is shooting, iso defence. Nah I got d wade as well.

im of course trollin. suggs is a beast but im semi serious about that bald spot.

I agree in terms of playstyle, what I meant is that I feel Franz is the one who drives the most value towards the offense succeeding, should've worded it better.

@@HoopVenue no worries you did an amazing job analyzing it’s a great deep dive here, great work! 👍🏽

I agree with that, what I meant when I said was Franz is the centerpiece is that he's kind of the guy that allows everything to function properly. The offense absolutely runs through Paolo more.

nope. just no.

we don't want a streaky shooter on a TERRIBLE contract that will take away growth from Banchero and Franz.

@TannerVarrasse He's a career 38% 3pt shooter averaging 40% on 6 attempts over the last 4 seasons. What's taking away from Paolo and Franz, especially Paolo, is the lack of spacing and perimeter creation on the team.

@MikeTheNBAGuy I agree we need spacing, but I just feel like he's not a great fit, and he wouldn't be content being just a spot up shooter like we need. in my eyes, he is used to being the #1 option and being somewhat ball dominant i dont know if that will mesh well with the type of ball coach mosley is trying to play, but maybe I'm wrong.

@TannerVarrasse I agree the main worry is buy-in, but I don't think a single great shooter fixes the Magic's offensive weaknesses either. The team really needs a 3-level scorer who can not just shoot but create his own shot, and while Lavine isn't some superstar I think he does that well enough to manage with all the other talent on this team.

He's only 29, what is crazy about that?

rookie d-how! :D

so would 3/4ths of the league

@@HoopVenue i hear you, but even in that mind frame i still choose Paolo, people are more scared of Paolo size athletic combo than they are of franz crafty feet and shooting

he not change the scheme much like what nurse did in final with box one in the pro league, conceding the three prioritize rim protection and switch scheme is the standard play for defensive end mad scientist is like how malone play joker as passing hub, kerr with motion offense, pop with 2014 scheme, phill with triangle and riley with oversized fastbreak because they experiment with something that no one did before

@@piusbutarbutar1782 I respect this answer, and appreciate it greatly.

Been watching us since the 90s and this really might end up being the most fun squad we've ever put together. So exciting watching their growth and camaraderie together. Weltman better win Executive of the Year for what he's put together here

Injuries

we started 5-20 due to all the injuries our line ups and rotations were all over the place once we got healthy we went just over .500 the rest of the season so we played well

Nah the reason we’re good is our depth we get injured a lot maybe Kevon looney

Kuminga would blossom in the magic ,and we could benefit from defensive pieces like the magic bench ngl

I think that could be a possibility that might work for both teams. I havnt watched much of kuminga but from what I do know he could potentially fit well with us-

haha we want nothing to do with poole keep that guy far far far away from my magic. dudes on one of the worst contracts on the league. I like kuminga but I wouldn't even do am even trade between him and Jon issac simply because of issacs defense. as long as issac can stay healthy he will be dpoy. I wouldn't do an even trade between wendell and kuminga either cosindering wendell is solid defensively and offensively especially because he can spread the floor with his 3pt shooting which the maguc desperately need.

It aged just fine so far, they’re 14-7 with the 4th best record in the NBA.

They got beat in the first quarter and made adjustments

🤡

Well... 15 of the 16 playoff teams do get eliminated...

For the magic getting to the playoffs is such a massive leap, and I'm curious to see what they learn from that environment

I think this season gives them momentum and hope for the future

i think they could get to the second round, if they get a lucky matchup. Keep in mind that they're a very young team too ;)

Our average roster age is like 22-23 years old and we were in the lottery last season. Going from that to being eliminated in the playoffs is massive progress, and a great sign of things to come for the next couple seasons.

What leg injury? As of yesterday our only players on the injury report are WCJ and Fultz. Did you dream him injuring his leg or something? 😂
