Magic will get alot better when they give the keys to Anthony Black and trade this dude for a haul.
I’m a huge Anthony Black fan but :whoa: he’s been able to flourish this season because he’s not the focus of every team’s defense every night.

Paolo is shooting awful but you don’t trade guys like him that young if you aren’t getting an All-Star in their prime (which they won’t) in return.

I have no doubt in my mind…If all the guys that get paid to play for Philly are available in April they’ll probably still be playing in June

They don't need an all star. They got one in Wagner and got another future one in Black if they just give him the ball more.

What if I told you Paolo is the type of player who when your overall team isn't that good he can carry you on offense but when the team around him gets better and he doesn't have to carry you on offense anymore he can't really change his game so now you stuck with this guy taking awful shots cause well...he was the awful shots taking guy when you was having to give Johnathan Issac minutes...?

It's actually surprsing how often this happens...star player stalls out not being able to change his game when the team around him gets better and in turn the entire team stalls out.

Trade Paolo for a lesser talent that just fits the magic as a team better and they probably take off. Today's nba is so much more about fit than just talent.
