I'm sure bo loves his playstyle

Argentine cheers from Italy.

moritz is so important for that team
Yea I love Moe
Fan from Aus.. you have the best content of the Magic on YT. Subbed. Best wishes & keep up the great work mate!
Cp3 should have come here honestly
So much hype 🔥 for KCP and resigning Harris 😭 😭… I like Moe and the Isaac move… But Harris 😭
Isaac should have been let to walk he played maybe 2 years of his rookie deal smh
This is the best year for the Orlando magic what they done
They've done nothing
@@efrembolden7892 🤣 😂😄😄😄😁
@@Brian00007 he just high off delusion don't mind him. They won't win playoff series and prolly not even make the playoffs
@@Godfrey-pn4qvhard cap.... We don't even have to make 3s... If we just make our free throws we win 55 games last year... We won 47 games with no offense
People who say this truly don't know ball
@@JustinMuzzy-gw2cg I'm just predicting that style of play won't work this year. Unless yall young starting core improve. Not every year you can win that much. Who really the casual. Every year teams have down falls.
us resigning gary harris makes me think that there is a chance we trade cole and have AB and Gary off the bench but idk
I think cole and carter are gone I think we have a trade for Brandon Ingram and we might move p5 to the 5
@@rubencarti6218cap on moving p5 to center
Need to make a trade for a true point guard
If he's undersized and can't play defense then it's a no go. Which players do you have in mind?
@@charlesreid9432 Simon’s or sexton
Im disappointed with the Magic off-season so far.
I was really hoping if the Warriors cut CP3, we would go after him. For the full mid level. That level PG would be huge for the offense and the development of other guys, especially AB.
I also wanted Claxton, but he re-signed with the Nets before FA officially opened.
The Magic ended up not addressing the things i thought we needed most. A starting PG and a rim protector.
With them bringing back Bitadze, and MO Wagner. I full expect them to trade Wendell Carter for a high level center like Jarrett Allen (who is on the trading block) and bringing back Gary Harris I think they are trading Cole Anthony
Teams usually trade players to a different conference and away from direct competition. We need a point guard that plays defense, has good size, and/or is a secondary playmaker to give Banchero/Wagner a breather.
@@charlesreid9432 tell New York that
I didnt think about resigning for the purposes of a trade (matching salaries etc)
smart moves
The reason they sent Mo Wagner to free agency and then immediately re-signed him was to get him on the veteran's exception. I think Harris and Bitadze are for trades since we don't have minutes for them.
I don't think we'll pull the trigger on a trade soon, maybe at the trade deadline. All the new cap number will make us very flexible in constructing a trade package. Also, funny that all season we talked about how much tyus jones will help our team and yet now he's still unsigned and we're not doing anything with him lol
Despite the depth, very good results when fighting for floor time.
Our defense is going to be nuts
Bitadze was very productive on both ins of the floor and they were always out scoring opponents when he is on the floor. He knows how to play without the ball on offense yet still make an offensive contribution. Continue to develope him. Wendel was a disappointment on both ends of the floor And played with low energy. Butadze should have played more in the playoffs, but he was sacrifice to please others.
I forgot the resigned trev queen the gaurd lmao he most likely are new backup pg tbh
Ohhh that’s why they didn’t play Goga and Wagner more haha 😅 points for guard! Let it come to us!
ECF next year.
You know what I totally agree big Moritz bartner was a keeper of Orlando Magic because his brother plays for Orlando Magic the younger brother the younger Wagner plays for the magic so yeah it was a good idea to resign his brother I like all three of them that they resign with the magic and you know what it was awesome for them to do that for Gary Harris Because you know Gary Harris did struggle a little bit but maybe at the end of the day you know Anthony Parker say yeah we need to bring him back so we know what to expect of Gary Harris.? @HerrBrot
JI basically is averaging $17M per year - why would we keep him at the same rate? This is a huge assumption… man oh man smh
Gary Harris resigned? Why??
Why are we so committed to keeping the band together? Multiple first round picks for 2025 and 2026? Need to upgrade at Center? Smh Jesus 🤦🏾♂️
Need Joe Engles what are we doing pick and roll with moe off the bench
Not a fan of bringing back Harris
Who is? I would like to talk to them
As a fan of the magic that wants development from Jett I agree
Is a pretty good rate with the new structures though
Do you think they signed him to play or to have a veteran in the locker room.
look at the market for two-way players who can (kinda) shoot and you'll be surprised how much of a bargain 7m is
playing KCP - Harris for 48 minutes allows them to always have shooting & defense on the floor
Agreed, not a fan of bringing back Harris and not a fan of signing Jonathan Issac for 5 years especially since he has hardly played for us and what happens if he gets hurt again. Yikes!
this team had 50 million and just added a slightly better gary harris only to resign gary no show harris. paolo specifically asked for a pg and jeff welt-ass completely ignored his request instead of listening to his star player. (paolo own words i want to be an offensive hub not a pg) this off season is a massive failure point blank.. it seems like jeff thinks he smarter than everybody by completely ignoring paolos request.. done with this show grow some and call out the front office instead of praising and overhyping their minor moves.. magic also had a 18-31 record against teams .500 and over and these moves welt-ass made did nothing for this team to improve that
Um free agency and trades are ongoing all summer, calm your tits bro.
You would be a Steve
The belief is that Suggs can own the point which I believe he proved particularly in the playoffs. I initially wanted Paul George but he is a 34 year old max signing at the forward position. Who did you want? Klay? I would argue KCP has a better future in front of him. If your preference was to trade for a better player in the back court I might agree with you. This team will get better just as they did the last two years with growth alone. Looking at the O/D efficiency and KCP is actually a major upgrade over Harris and a two time champ which the Magic needed.
@@adamkoncz8778 what jalen suggs showed in the playoffs is that he is the sg for the team not pg... in the playoffs he avg 3.3 ast and 3.0 turnovers league avg for a pg is over 5 assist. again kcp is a nice player an upgrade over gary harris but this team needed and paolo requested a pg which weltman completely ignored and thats a problem. kcp is not a point guard and he is the only major addition to this team.
@@stevec4189 I think Suggs growth YOY is an indicator that he has the capacity to grow including ball distribution and TO's. He's the primary on the ball defender that should come from the one. Paolo didn't say it had to be a new PG. In a separate quote he said they need to build around him, Franz and Suggs and I believe KCP is the right addition. Keep in mind the assets required to obtain a player like Anfernee Simmons. You could be right I am not sure. But I tend to trust front office(s) and scouts more than TH-cam commentators.
I Love how many GM’s we have here in the comments🤦🏽♂️🤣🤣🤣
STARTERS
We will have the #1 D
G Suggs
F Franz
F Paolo
F Issac
C WCJ
BENCH
G Cole
C Mo
G KCP
F da Silva( He’s ready)
Still developing there game. Black barely played and all and Jet almost not at all
G Black
G Howard
Security blanket
G Harris a little, but veteran leadership is more important. He must be a really good locker room guy if they brought him back.
C Goga ( security blanket)
Go get a Veteran PG for Suggs and Black to learn from
I feel like goal is just to be in the middle of the pack, lucky to make the playoffs instead of a real contender… Mo Wagner was a good resigning but not impressed with the others
Yea I’m far from impressed - and I knew this would be the route. No way we’re banking on P5 to carry the load as we saw via the playoffs…
You do realize that if Franz hadn’t injured his ankle, Orlando could’ve been as high as the two seed with less than two weeks to go in the regular season
@@TheBoricuaKnife Yes I do but that’s the issue… 2nd best player goes down we need somebody to step up and help Paolo…
@@TheBoricuaKnife no
@@sids8351 so the 3rd youngest team in the NBA finishes in the top third of the conference and you consider that mediocre/middle of the pack?
I would go after Naz Reid MN. Timberwolves don’t want to pay the luxury tax.
Why don't people understand that team friendly contracts with team options are highly valuable on the trade market?
Fill salary cap with team friendly contracts then exceed the cap to retain your stars. Its NBA 101.
Gary Harris never made a contribution to winning games for the Magic. His never played to make a difference in whether the team won or loss. His body language showed no intensity. His 3 point shots never came when the team needed them. This could have been an upgrade.
Gary Harris and Cole Anthony were disgusting last season. Amd Kentavious Caldwell Pope for 66 milion is an horrible move. I do not like that at all. I just hoped Fultz would have resigned and gave him back the starter position. He is our star, with Banchero. Let's go Magic, horror for Fultz.
Imagine being esthetic over mo wagnar 😂😂😂 sheesh
Tripping
@@thebrettjames1 yea he is.
They left San Antonio steal Chris Paul! Harris is a no, no.
Trade Wendell for a PG. That was the reason that they lost against Cleveland, ball movement. Suggs is not a PG. Just watch the elite camp today, Paolo, and Paul cooking.
so we bring back the same garbage that was a first round playoff team ONLY because Philly (Embiid missed a lot of games), Atlanta (who had a weird PG situation), Pacers (who will have a full year of Siakam), Heat (could potentially get DeRozan) all had a down season for one reason or another. Truth be told we are a borderline playoff calibre team and do NOTHING to improve the roster
Great job bringing in KCP, resigning Goga and Mo but not happy signing Gary back. Defensively, he's great, but offensively, he's not very good. No show in playoffs. If we bring back Fultz, I'll be pissed.
Orlando Magic = Epitome of Mediocrity
It's like to have a need to stay mediocre.
Exactly
All 3 of you are wrong, and I don't think you understand ball.. a bunch of 2k GMs
