philly grabbed Maxey at 21 and McCain at 16 :mjlol:

If Paolo makes All-NBA, its a wrap for their cap flexibility. You pushin all your chips in for Bane?????

Philly also grabbed Embiid at #3 and still havent won shyt and are paying him $64 million a season. What is your point?

Its about a combo of drafting AND contracts.

If Orlando is where they want to be the next 5 years, those draft picks will be in the 20s every year.

I literally don't get it. Meanwhile the bulls shipped out Caruso and lavine and got ZERO picks combined.
AK is the worst GM in the NBA. He's consistently putting on a master class on how to hold on to assets too long.

Same will happen with Vuc and maybe Coby if they actually move on from him. I think Orlando was a great landing spot for Coby too. Looking what they gave up for Bane, Bulls would have gotten a good deal for Coby if he was available

The Pacers making it to the Finals changed everything. After adding Bane, I can't realistically look at both of their rosters and say Indiana has a more talented roster than the Magic right now, and the Pacers are 2 games away from a title

fukk those picks.

You’re Orlando ..You see the Pacers in the NBA Finals,You know Boston is cooked …You have two all star caliber wings in Paolo and Franz…and depth but you’re missing 1 more guy that can go get a bucket at a high level …

You either trade for Bane or keep drafting nikkas like Jett Howard and Tristan Da Silva .Imma go trade for Bane


fukk those picks


fukk the magic.

They had a big front court in


Franz
Paolo
Bol bol


Plus depth in the front court at pf and centet they jagged't.
As well as a guard corp of useful busts.
from anthony to suggs and a rehab'd former number one philly Pick as well.


Only in the nba is the player blames for not panning out.
When it really is the corporate structure, coaching and admin work of the front office that is trash.

If someone was highly skilled.
Then they come to your org.
Then they fail to replicate what the asset did oreviously. That is the org's fault and failure.

not the player.

Racism needs to end.
All because nobody blames the unept slave master.
For undervaluing talent. Thinking everyone is replaceable on a spread sheet. Plus demeaning and downplaying tslent. Onky no talent golden spoons think that little of people and their talents. From their self equated.
no talent golden spoon enabled lives.

Definitely a rebuild move for Memphis


Memphis just trade bait shell gamed fukked orlando.

I am all for it too.

Orlando dumb as hell to. As they should have just packaged up all tnat trash guard corps.
they have horded and made systemically all into busts for ja.
If they could not pry ja away. You don't settle for bane. Bane not even nobody of value like that. Past lack of depth in memphis at the two. Where memphis/vancouver really have no idea about talent eval. As they continue to jag away. Or fukk up talent from abdul raheim, bkth gasols to ja etc.

Memphis gon jag edey. Then like most memphis bigs edey is gonna go somewhere else and win a title. By an org with a real grasp.
on how to utilize and respect talent.
Both these teams front office in pedigree and administration. Dense and dumb as hell.
