STAND UP ORLANDO
I'm so proud of them boys and only true magic fans know the eastern conference needs to look out. We just need some shooting to space the floor. I'd love for PG to come as a veteran
I agree
Agreed a point guard and Sign Malik Monk.
Indeed
Hella proud bro 🙏🏽💪🏼✊🏽
Let’s not forget that Orlando had a drastically improved season and a good run in the playoffs WITHOUT Franz shooting as well as he can (proven the seasons before and at the world championships). Good things are coming
Franz was shooting well until his injury late. Idk if he rushed coming back or what. I think the game 7 disappointment low key good for him tho. He will be determined to improve this offseason
@@macsportsattackhe shot 18% from 3 after the allstar break … stop lying
@@macsportsattack an ankle injury doesn’t affect your shot lol
The magic is on course nothing but the best is ahead for the magic💙
The best is an NBA championship.. So no they're not
@@kirkcupido9730 Who saw the Thunder being #1 seed going into this year?
Kingdom on the Rise
It's funny how their fans actually thought they would do something 😂
@@lyndonchastain3181the thunder have so much bite talent that the magic
Blazers fans would love to package Anfernee Simons to his hometown of Orlando if the trade package makes sense for Portland. Anfernee is top in the league at catch and shoot 3pt FG%. He would be deadly with Paulo+Franz drawing the defense and swinging it to him.
Anfernee and Paolo would be a young team’s dream pairing, and he’s on the same timeline.
is he a good defender?
@@fadli6443No he is a below average defender -Blazer fan
This is my personal dream scenario as a Magic fan. It would be awesome to add Spida/PG13, but Simons fits our timeline, is a hometown kid and will certainly fill a void. Trade for Simons and sign Klay? 😅
@@SpencerOnYTseeeeeeee
Everyone, stop bashing on Franz. Rough game 7, but he will grow and be a key component for us winning the title in the coming years.
Bounce back year incoming. He’s had long stretches of ~40% 3pt shooting in the NBA and FIBA, 85% FT shooter, very good soft touch. He’s too talented to miss this many threes, I think when we look back on this year we’re going to see it as an outlier shooting the three
I think Anthony Black inserted into the starting lineup will help in many ways. 1) Taking Banchero, Wagner, and Suggs off the ball will allow them to get easier looks in their spots when they catch the ball instead of having to work hard off the dribble for it. 2) Black can be the point of attack defender alleviating Suggs of this responsibility allowing him to use his energy for being more of a shooter/scorer. 3) Black's ability to rebound will allow the Magic to get out into transition more creating easy offense, mitigating the need for half-court play, and creating mismatches to be exploited by a PG who knows to looks for it.
Future is bright for Orlando.
Could’ve used some Caleb Houstan and AB n this series
Decline the Joe Ingles team option. Pick up the Mo Wagner and Jonathan Isaac team options. Let Fultz, Harris, Bitadze, and Okeke walk. Sign Malik Monk or Gary Trent Jr. along with Nic Claxton.
This
We need a presence in the paint, Claxton would be a nice pick
Ahhhh Claxton is a FA?✍🏾
My boy you need to run for President with this one right here lol
This guy⬆️ gets it!💯🎯🎯
Magic going to run the league
Not with ant around
I like Orlando's team. It's been a long time since I've been able to say that. They have a lot of good players and they play as a team. It's fun to watch them because you never know where the offense is going to come from.
They need a good point guard that can coexist with Paolo
That last statement is the problem…😂
But all in all - great season
21 year old Paolo Banchero quietly had one of the greatest sophomore seasons in NBA history while leading the Orlando Magic to the No. 5 seed in the East & to a 7-game first round battle with Cleveland! ⭐️
2023-24 season stats: 22.6 PPG, 6.9 RPG, 5.4 APG, 45.5 FG%, 33.9 3P%, 80 GP
First round stats: 27.0 PPG (!!), 8.6 RPG, 4.0 APG, 46.5 FG%, 40.2 3P%, 76.5 FT%
Paolo became the 2nd youngest player in NBA history to average 25+ PPG & 5+ RPG in a playoff series (LeBron James - 2006).
The sky’s the limit for Paolo! 😳
He shot below average % for his position as PF he stats pad .. how many times did he steal rebounds from Wendell Carter jr?? + His TURNOVER per game is disturbing..
I good thing east is weak ...
Overrated Ben Simmons 2.0
@@longride7234shut up Meg
@@longride7234 Definitely does not stat pad. If you watched you would know Wendell is terrible at rebounding, Paolo isn't stealing anything.
His shooting averages are also pretty great considering he is a 2nd year and already top 5 in being double teamed by a defense. He makes the right plays and that will show in years to come
Lol @BenSimmon 2.0 totally different type of players
@@nathanielziering yea delusional take from a hater
Tyus Jones and Gary Trent Jr.
With the core they have now I can see that squad next year competing with almost everyone
Joe Ingles could be groomed to be part of the coaching staff. It makes good sense.
They should treat Joe Ingles just like we did with Tree Rollins back in 1995! Couch/Player and bench general!
I have been living in Orlando since 1980 and this feels like 1994 all over again! The climb for our first chip has begun! Let’s Go Magic!
they went into this series and they couldn´t lose even if they actually did. Those 7 games were a bonus for their development and I´m confident the Magic will be coming next year
Team could use some veteran leadership. And young guys need to continue to grow. Add a reliable 3p shooter with some length/athleticism on defense. Then a contending team in a few years.
They should develop Anthony Black this summer. So Magic can have a legitimate point guard
I’m convinced he can be really, really good someday
They should sign Harden or Chris paul
Agreed
@@thefebo8987eh
Joe ingles, markelle, and Gary harris don’t need a spot on the team after this year
Markelle coming back
I agree Ingels needs to go and Gary Harris Jr Jonathan Issac did play well during the series also they drafted Black and Jeet Howard last year it's time for the young guns to step up.
@@johndavis6719 agree I have no idea why black got 0 minutes this series….
Also Carter
@likensonguillaume2077 yeah Wendell Carter J.R and Jonathan Issac are both former 1st round picks well they definitely are not playing like it.
Great team and year for them. Grab a couple vets and a point guard maybe another big and they set
Born and raised FL.... sucks here, beyond hot and sticky 90% of the time. Be prepared to sweat thru everything u wear
I was at game 4. That 3rd quarter blitz we put on the Cavs was special. Crowd was loving it.
As a Magic fan, these are great takes. I’m all in for another vet but I’m really wanting a vet to play UNDER Paolo so he can grow into a leader .
Love the insight. Our future is bright ☀️
No one wants to play for them. They have a really tough time attracting free agents. They mid.
@AnimeBronx Ok causal are you an expert you best believe they will attract free agents
I think our biggest needs would be: 1. A true point guard (push Suggs to the 2) 2. An upgrade at 5 over Wendell 3. Obviously shooting, but I hope that’s incorporated with the the point guard and big man they acquire.
Franz also just needs to shoot a 1000 threes a day. His shot is very flat right now, I hope he can learn over the summer to get more arc on it. We also need Paolo to improve his catch and shoot 3’s, free throws, and ball handling/decision making (turnovers). I think Paolo will be getting MVP talk within two seasons.
I really think the Magic are capable of having a great offseason (free agent/draft/trade wise) as well as internal development. It’s an exciting time to be a fan.
You got to run it back and add some shooting....Caleb Houstan can shoot
Go Magic ❤❤❤❤❤
Anthony Black should start next year
I think if they had two more pieces maybe another point guard another big man that could be legit contenders next season
They have to be consistent in their shooting specially Franz and Suggs.
I want a real paint defender as well. I don't like how it made me feel watching Mitchell drive to the rim at will.
Need a true starting (vet) PG to run offense. Tyus Jones great fit with Suggs. Monk perfect spark plug for team goes minutes without a bucket.
IMO can upgrade from Carter
Jr at 5. Jonas V in a S&T with Pels be good upgrade.
Small additions, don't rock the boat too much.
Go
Magic
❤
Paolo Franz Suggs 🏀🔥🙌
Maybe bogdan bogdanovic in a trade from the hawks he's a decent shooter.
Like this idea, or maybe can offer like malik monk (?)
i would add klay thompson because he can be a ray all role
Only Hawk we should be interested in is Murray💯
As a diehard Magic fan that follows the team every day, a trade is coming. We will see some activity in free agency but the big move will be via trade. Jeff Weltman has said as much.
Same here. We just need a vet who can shoot. I was at game 3 and 6 and I haven't felt that kind of energy in the amway since it was built.
Lol that didnt age well haha
@@bamiyamoto8187 how? Off season just started lol
@@iamjesuscolon look at the interview of fo and coach
@@bamiyamoto8187 i did, they never say anything. We'll have to wait and see
I know he won’t do it, but this team is built perfect to slide in lebron and instantly start contending. Bunch of athletic two way guys a couple shot creators and they’re all young and improving. There’s no chance the lakers could put anything close to this around him, he could end his career contending for 3-4 seasons in Orlando, and maybe get another ring or two🤷🏼♂️
The Magic are a fan team i would love for them to go out and get a veteran point guard like Trae Young on there team would be a nice one two punch with Trae and Pablo
Orlando should see what Portland would ask for Brogdon or Simons. Brogdon would give them shooting and veteran leadership and would cost less than Simons, but they should start using their picks that aren't going to end up being that valuable anyway.
what contracts do orlando even have to trade besides joe ingles, you’d have to give up either isaac wendell or mo and we don’t want more bigs
@@vincentrose577 they have cap space. There are so many contracts falling off the books, and they're still so stocked with young players that they can simply absorb a fairly large contract without sending anything else out. That means they could trade a couple of their picks. The Denver pick, for example, which is a late first, as well as their own, another late first, could probably get it done for Portland who needs to drop salary anyway. Could probably trade a single pick just to get Brogdon as well, but Simons has a higher ceiling and addresses the key need more directly.
They should sign Malik monk
he definitely isnt leaving SAC
@@brab1242Magic can offer him more money than Sacramento.
Magic has capspaxe of 60m
@@bamiyamoto8187 yea they can definitely sign him
@@myleslivingston6971 eh rather get a guy like De’Anthony Melton or Gary Trent Jr. for a lot cheaper and basically filling the same role
They need a 2 guard for the future. Maybe try Poole as crazy as it sounds if he surrounded by defense he could be perfect
Where to buy??
They need a marksman or a elite 3 and D guy and they’re instantly a title contender
Add another shot creator and I agree
No, they are nowhere near one of two guys from a contender.
@@brandonman1315yes they are
Title contender? Cmon man 😂
This team is a lot better than many people will give them credit for. If they sign PG-13 this off-season, they win the East. The issue with Orlando is teams clog the paint against them and then it is a wrap. Add shooters who play defense and that paint will open up for guys like Paolo and Franz, both of which are top tier scorers from in close who draw fouls.
It's all they are missing and I would love to see it come internally from guys like Jett and AB, but I think you go after the biggest fish you can and really speed up the development cycle.
Paolo and Franz get doubled a lot, you need good shooters to capitalize as both players are great passers and willing to do so. Both of them could average 6+ assists a game with a proper set of shooters.
Love this Orlando Magic team! #5 is awesome 👍💙🖤💙
I think they should swing for Klay. Could bring a veteran presence plus shooting. If not maybe Buddy Hield to get them some shooting off the bench; sixers could've used him in the Knicks series when they struggled in the 4th Quarter of that series.
GO MAGIC, the future is blinding!
Let’s go Magic
I disagree. Franz is only 22. Improved every year. He can be an max player.
Proud of out boys this season. Now its time to focus on the next step UP.
- Scoring option outside of Paolo and Franz is needed.
- Perimeter shooting is dire, they must inject consistent shooting into the squad.
- Floor general potentially needed to help alleviate the ball handling and tempo management responsibilities from Banchero.
- A big that can defend the paint and rebound. Because JI and Wendel sometimes are undersized and like to hover in the perimeter too much.
They got options, and it will be interesting to see how the approach em.
- PG
- Monk
- Klay
- Tyus Jones
- Trade for Trae Young or Dejounte Murray?
- Trade for Anfernee Simons?
- Make a push for Hartenstein for your Center needs?
Hartenstein is going to get paid. B/C he fits any team with PG-SF scoring.
Magic fans knew one day it would go from roster building and development to contract negotiations and free agency. It’s about to be a different ball game for our FO.
Nic Claxton and Malik Monk🙏🏿✊🏿🏀
Orlando should get either demar derozen , Bradley Beal or CJ McCollum . For playmaking / veteran leadership , shooting .
Also add Pritchard from the Celtics ofor some more bench depth at the guard position and for more shooting
bradley beal?! He has the worse contract in the NBA.
i still need the question to be answered "why did so many players dissapear offensively" we have the size advantage i mean clv pf was 6'5"(okoro) we had the size advantage the last 3 games suggs and wagner combine for 3-28 i personally am floored by this loss; i tried to look at it both ways and it doesnt add up i dont see struss shutting down franz and garland shutting down suggs but i digress
agreed. Franz makes or breaks this team's offence and I don't feel he's consistent enough.
When they’re shooting like that, those defenders sink further and further towards the paint. All of a sudden Franz can’t get downhill. Same way teams have defended Fultz for a while now.
@@alexsimpson2676 your right but were did this "franz cant shoot" narrative come from i dont want to make excuses for franz nor suggs in favorable matchups 3-28 is inexcusable
@@alexsimpson2676 and dont forget the lack of rim protection mitchell must of hit like 30 layups in this series maybe i was just to high on us
@@dsaturdayfwight7516agree with the lack of rim protection. Despite us having big lineups, we are not super long. I like Franz of course but his 3 point percentage this year, specifically after the all star break was baddddd. He can have a good game here or there but it’s not like he’s proven to be consistent or improving. The college percentages would suggest he’d be better but it’s a weird motion.
They at the same spot as OKC n Minnesota was last year. They goin to the ecf next year
Monk, Hartenstein, Klay (for cheap), Hield, Tyus. Those need to be the focuses.
Proud of my bois! We really need a scoring PG. Dejounte Murry would be nice.
Nic Claxton and Tyus Jones signed
Starting 5 would be Claxton, Paolo, Franz, Suggs, and Jones
Bench 5 would be Carter, Issac, Jett, Cole, and AB
Franz and Suggs will be definitely improve their shooting over the summer and Paolo will continue to grow into a Lebron type of dominance
I'm with him about the center position. Since the last years drafts looks like a bust. Buddy Hield looks perfect for magic. And maybe Tyus Jones for PG. But team knows what the playoffs look like and what to work on. Go Magic.
You can’t not give a guy a max (or near max) just because you don’t feel like he’s on that level. All that matters is what the market will give Franz. He’s a much more talented shooter than he showed this year and is worth at least more than Desmond Bane was. Someone is going to offer him a massive deal if you let him test the market, and without Franz this rebuild looks a lot closer to HOU/CHA instead of OKC/IND
the magic need a guard like a anfreene simons type; the need to a shot creater/shooter
plus klay thompson would be so helpful to a young team plus will be in a ray allen role
edit: need to replace/upgrade over cole anthony, fultz, & gary harris
Front office needs to get busy. Their lack of activity at the trade deadline was concerning.
Part of the plan - had to be patient
A 3rd option that can relieve pressure off p5 and Franz, derozenr, Donavan Mitchell, PG-if price is right, Malik monk, Booker, Beal,
This guy is really the Undertaker of the NBA
Franz is absolutely getting a max
‘3 months you got hurricanes and stuff coming through’
I mean 😂
KCP...veteran, 2 rings, teach the young guns
Actually a good idea but I doubt he would leave Denver
@@Nukemall305
I suspect there will be changes in Denver next year and the Magic have cap space to afford a veteran, additionally KCP shoots the 3 ball which the Magic need...
Wouldn't go get PG. Go get two or three three and D guys for $20mil each
You have to take into account that Wagner, Suggs, and Banchero have extensions coming up the following season. That means, they'll be a 2nd Apron team...
@@brandoni241Suggs and Wagner don’t look like quality starters right now
@@TrillaDC they are better than what's on the market. Franz has a down shooting year from 3, but that doesn't mean he can't get back to 35%. Plus, he is one of the few players on the team that can create offense. Suggs is one of the best 3 and D guards in the league. Teams look for players like him. Is Malik Monk a better option than Suggs? Is an aging DeMar DeRozan better than Franz (although, I think he would be a good fit from a playmaking standpoint)?
@@TrillaDCwhat are you talking about
Magic needs some shooting maybe they could go after Buddy Hield or trade for a Jordan Clarkson.
They could also try to see what the Hawks are offering to give up for either Trae Young or Dejonte Murray.
Murray would probably be the better option because he a better defender
But they need a point guard in a worst way possible still the future is bright for them
I would love to see a backcourt of Jalen Suggs & Buddy Heild. And get a 3&D in either Jimmy Butler or Demar DeRozan. They have size they need veteran's. I would love to see Anthony Black progress next season.
HAHAHAHA you’re dumb.
nah aint no way you called Jimmy and Demar “3&D” guys lmao
Improve the bench
Get some veterans and some 3 point shooters
We gotta keep bitadze, let Joe ingles go, keep Mo, let Gary go
They should have got OG. Brandon Ingram would be a great 1A to PB.
They need a veteran presence it’s all good to be young but you need older pieces to compete
Franz not a Max guy but can be tough for front office. Every team can pay 2.
Franz deserves a max the same as paolo.
Title run 2027! Go Magic! 💙🖤🤍
They just need better guards or better guard play.
Magic should sign CP3. Great mentor for these young guys
Bench wise? Sure!
why is there no spurs offseason video?
How much would the magic be willing to give to Malik Monk?
Why the heck did we not play Goga? Agree being very hesitant with a paul george- not gonna lead to a championship. We obviously need shooting, and I think our backcourt defense is overrated (Donovan mitchell and garland got whatever they wanted). Suggs I feel is our heart, offense is improving. Also, so agree about Franz not deserving a max contract (not even close). Not reliable enough.
they need to develop players too
To get out of the first round I want to trade any of - Anthony, Fultz, and the 2 Wagners, and maybe even Isaac for - a defensive big and an experienced point guard.
Guards - Tyus Jones, DMurray (unlikely), BBrown (unlikely), any Holiday brother
Bigs - Draymond (yeah I said it), Claxton (unlikely), BClarke, Walker Kessler, JGrant, TMurphyIII (unlikely)
PG IS A TRAP
“KCP not really a shooter”Excuse me what??? I’ll take that man next to Suggs!!
He's so streaky, and when his shot isn't dropping he losses motivation and his defense falls off too.
The weather in Florida in unbearable for 6 months out of the year
You're tripping lol
Franz is a solid player if he becomes a better shooter he becomes a great player. They need to realistically sign monk and maybe Claxton to sold their shooting and rim presence. They play great defense and have young guys they need to to develop within with their shooting. Franz Anthony Issac Black have to become much better shooters. Paolo needs to be a better shooter but not fall in love with it like Tatum
Franz will extend. He will accept a family discount, as the Magic have been super kind of extending Mo to 16 mil contract.
The Magic team is different, they’ll figure it out..
They are extending
Franz 25-30 mil per
Suggs 18-25 ish mil
Fultz veteran minimum
and they will go out and hopefully sign
Monk and Claxton
hear me out. shooting has been an issue, but also post game of our Center WCJ. He can’t post up a Guard on all those mismatches. Wait for that Banchero and Claxton pick and roll to which Claxton seals the guard for the easy hook shot.
They will draft one Da Silva or Salaun and develop the player like Jett. Jett will have a bigger role next season.
rotation
PG: Suggs, AB
SG: Monk, Cole
SF: Franz, Isaac, Jett, Houstan
PF: Banchero, M. Wagner, Salaun
C: Claxton, WCJ, Bitadze
Spurs next
Magic need a strong shooter and minimize the turn overs. They can go extremely far next year
Ranchero will get a max contract
Cp3 can get this team to the top and don’t have to spend much either
Ideal world, best trade options (over booker) at the guard position would have to be
1. Dejounte Murray
2. Lamelo Ball
3. Cj McCollum
scoring, playmaking, length and as for Cj a veteran presence
Dejounte Murray was my first thought. I like him best of all because he's the most realistic grab for them, he plays defense, and he's not expensive.
@@Davivd2 dejounte don't get a long with banchero. So he ain't coming
Lamelo???? That guy is overrated.
@@KK-pm7ud uhhh no his team is cheeks and hes been injured but when healthy hes a top 10 pg
@@brab1242 He's not a top 10 PG. I wouldn't want him on my time. He's as useful as DeAngelo Russel.
Could not be prouder of this team. Our core is 22 and under. Call me crazy but AB is the next Haliburton. Let's get some pieces.
84m 4 years is fine for Franz maybe.
Sam Presti knows how to draft players
Itd be nice if Orlando valued a point guard that could shoot. Seems like they love point guards that cant shoot
Wagner was way more efficient his first two years. He definitively could be a future all star
Magic should get Tako Fall to start for them
I can bet you money the Magic don’t overpay on Klay and Tyus Jones. It’s just not their philosophy to bring those guys on. CLAXTON and MONK and start to develop the guys who didn’t get pt in the playoffs
Convince Brad beal to waive his no trade clause and come over from the suns
Try and trade for Korey Kispert knock down shooter you don't have to break the bank for
Him and Suggs played at Gonzaga together 👀
9:07 hes still a 7 footer averaging 20pts/game. someone will pay him the max if not the magic
