This Orlando team bout to be top five in the lottery with ease, what a clusterfukk of a team

5 seasons now that Dwight's been gone and they still haven't been able to put together a legit playoff caliber team

Gordon is the player on their team with the most upside in my opinion and they're playing him out of position to appease an expiring Ibaka :francis:

Somewhere they lost their way.

Payton
Oladipo/Hezonja.Fournier
Harris
Gordon
Vucevic

All were young players that are good players in their own way. They traded Harris for peanuts even though he should have been a commodity. They traded Oladipo and their pick for Ibaka, but for that haul they should've been able to get a borderline all-star. If they kept their team together eventually one of them was going to become an all-star and start turning their team around. Now they're stuck with a treadmill squad.

Even if they traded up in a draft that would've helped
