I post Orlando Magic highlights and stats. Also NBA draft stuff.

Wendell Carter Jr has been anchoring a top 3 defense two years in a row and gets put in trade ideas for Gabe Vincent
Who’s are some *actually* underrated players in the NBA? Not gimmicks like herb and Toumani, but players who don’t actually get recognition Ex if Mo Gueye can give me league average Effciency it’s scary hours next year

That said, if we trot out the same ridiculously vanilla offense we have been since 2021 - we will fizzle out in the playoffs We've also got to get much more intentional about who's on the floor together. Going all starters to all bench with our roster makeup is frankly stupid

Now that the roster is finalised - all in all a great outcome Using the NT MLE and still managing to retain Moe without a trade is top work Caleb is an unfortunate casualty, but I'm a believer in Jett - people are too impatient

Not the most inspiring list of teams Prunty coached after Pop Avery Johnson Mavericks Nate McMillan Blazers Byron Scott Cavs (with Mose) Jason Kidd Nets/Bucks Igor Kokoskov Suns Nate McMillan Hawks Adrian Griffin Bucks Doc Rivers Bucks Was hoping he'd coached under Budenholzer
I'm told the Bucks' Joe Prunty has emerged as a strong candidate to join Orlando's coaching staff. Prunty has been interim HC in Atlanta and Milwaukee and worked for five other teams after starting out in San Antonio as @SInow illustrated below. More: https://t.co/7Tm4BxO5E8

Kind of a contrarian take but I'm feeling that in the new CBA, rookie scale deals aren't so cheap You weigh against the prospect of hitting on an All-Star, but the salaries of the middle class established players have been compressed so much, and you know what you are getting

This is true… Anyone paying attention to the business of basketball sees major issues: 1. Ratings down 2. Many franchises up for sell 3. Salary cap only going up 7% instead of the expected 10 4. Players losing almost 10% if their salary that was held in escrow Lots of red flags
When I said the NBA is cooked this is what I’m alluding to. There’s no way valuations & contracts can continue to grow how they are not longterm with consistent evidence of decreased viewership and interest. Owners don’t jump ship in booming industries with bright futures, The

We can't keep Moe AND use the NTMLE - in the new CBA, using it hard caps us at the first apron "it would leave the Magic with just $15.7 million before the first apron to sign second-round pick Noah Penda, Moe Wagner and Caleb Houstan along with Nickeil Alexander-Walker." - OMD

I haven't really followed the draft super closely this year, but I really like Koby Brea

The player who made the biggest jump for me while doing a big deep dive and draft guide profile so far might be Danny Wolf. One stat: Michigan is 20 points per 100 better with Wolf on-court versus off. That's 10 points per 100 better than Michigan's next best rotation player.

Those tears today were tears of JOY Tears for that 10 year old that said he was going to be the #1 pick in the NBA draft! Tears for the 18 year old kid that was handed the keys to a franchise and a city. Tears for the ups & downs on this long journey I had in the NBA. Everything

“The first thing I say in any of these situations is you gotta show guys that you can hoop. I don't go in there trying to be nobody's coach, nobody's daddy, nothing. First and foremost, I hoop... You can't tell someone, they want to see it. Vic even said, he don't remember me

6'10" & making live ball passes like this
That Franz skip pass to Gary in the corner was absolutely beautiful
