I dont think we can have a championship team without a guard that has killer instincts, some aggressiveness, and can shoot in the clutch. Seems like that's always a common theme in winning teams, and an obvious whole on this team.
ALEX CARUSO fits the defensive identity of the team while providing more shooting, playmaking and championship experience over gary harris
Man that is a good one I never thought of Caruso he plays with a urgency you can’t teach
So many of these deals I see presented for the Magic seem like, "Hey, the magic have $, they can afford to overspend on this old/injured guy that can help in some ways but hurt in others." They seem to be framed like the Magic are set to do favors for everyone. I dont want to overspend on an old/injured player who has holes in their game. We have enough holes as it is
I agree. There feels like a lot of professional dot connecting from people who have not really watched this team.
Tell me what these lineups have in common.
PG-Anfernee Simons, SG- Suggs
PG- Anthony Black, SG- Simons
PG- Anfernee Simons, SG- Garry Harris
All three lineups we could use at any time on the court has Anfernee Simons next to a really good defensive guard. We gain an interchangeable offensive weapon while keeping great defense next to him. PLUS he is only 24 years old turning 25 this summer. He fits age and timeline while checking off boxes we need as far as point guard and shooting ability.
And he's a central Florida legend, Edgewater High alum! Love that kid
Yes!
Players can get better but the team also needs upgrades in ability and traits, not only skill. We need length inside and I think a bit more athleticism/verticality.
Dejounte Murray is a stud. Cost the magic two maybe three wins this year. Contract is not that crazy and he plays good defense that can match our teams identity. I think he should be the number one target
DLo is the guy. We have the money for him.
dlo is not trash markelle is trash dlo and his shooting will be a huge improvement
@@stevec4189Dlo and Fultz they are both trash
I like D-lo too
@@nino4200 right!? It just seems like a great fit. 🤷🏻♂️
@@nnam2397 ok so name me a pg who is a good defender good shooter good playmaker that we can get without trading franz suggs or paolo or all of magic picks...is dlo perfect no but he will def help this team with shooting and assist. magic lost against the cavs cause they couldnt shoot not because of defense. it easy to cover someone who is weak on defense compared to someone who flat out sucks on offense like fultz harris simple as that
Yep making can score at the point is defense might be less but you have to respect his scoring ability.
Give me MONK, GARY TRENT JR, TYUS JONES!!!!
Philip. Please don't give up on Anthony black I feel he's going to be the starter this comming season he is improving his shot he is already better than Gary Harris was all last year. A.B. closest thing to Penny hardawayT-Mack A.B. best one of the best defenders GO MAGIC BELIEVE IN ANTHONY BLACK
Monk should be the #1 target. Fits multiple needs without having to give up players and picks. Get a short term PG separately.
I would like a productive point guard who is also a beast on defense.
Who's that?
Melton is perfect then
I've literally been saying that Tyus Jones would be a great fit two and a half months now
I’m commenting before watching this whole video. I hope he talks about trading for anfernee simons
He's atrocious on defense. I want no part of him
@@confederatetearsaredelicious hmmmmm never really paid attention to his defense. Defense is effort…. Does he want to be part or his home town team? Does he want to be part of something special. The Magic play Defense that is what we do. Will he buy in
Yes for Anfernee! The last Anfernee we had was a legend
uhhh paul george isnt comming here for 35 mill his max starts at 49.6 mil and no way he comes here for less than max
We need to get anfernee simons Bring the kid home. Is the perfect fit for our team right now
Yes!
What is the rush? Why do fans and pundits always want to insert that one or two veteran players that may or may not take this team to the next level?
This current roster has proven they can improve their W/L total from 22 to 34 to 47 wins without buying a major player! Money and team jumping spoils the true spirit of basketball. If the rebuild is doing this good this early why mess with it?
Management did their part by picking great players and a rookie coach. Mosley, the COTY runner up and his staff are proving themselves!
The Magic aren’t in a desperate situation. Some fans want it all NOW even though the “process” is working nicely.
I hope management stays the course. Don’t insult the success of these young players by buying veteran talent. Let these players and coaches prove they’re not done yet!
I am with you. I would add players to the foundation you have built, not go after a star. They have something that works. Just fill in some key weaknesses this summer and set the table for the next 2-3 years.
@@LockedOnMagic I wouldn’t even set a time table. I would let our W/L record dictate the changes. Are we taking bets that the Magic don’t add another 10 wins next season with the current roster?
Like you said, most of these guys could be years away from hitting their ceiling!
@@saturn722I can't imagine them being a 57 win team next season. That's a borderline title contender win record. Let's get to 50 wins first.
I think the rush is, we have these young players on cheap deals, and some will want to flee out of Orlando to somewhere more exciting and willing to pay top $.
@@confederatetearsaredelicious I’m just going by what they’ve already done. People were a little surprised when they jumped 12 wins to 34 in Paolo’s rookie year. Then another 13 wins up from last season finally got this team noticed.
We have no idea what the ceiling will be from this group. I don’t think anyone is overachieving except maybe Jeff Weltman and Coach Mo! Just imagine if we shot the ball a little better as a team!
I really hope they make a solid attempt to improve their shooting this offseason. Franz and Cole are learning the painful lessons of slumping! Look at Suggs’ rookie year! Fans were ready to dump him!!
Don’t fear success. Another 10 wins is firmly in this team’s grasp! Staying healthy and keeping the players focused on their defensive identity will be key to another successful season! GO MAGIC!
No, on any FA over 30.
Paolo needs to work on his ball handling.
Franz needs to have a bounce back shooting year.
No, on Buddy Heild. 39% from 3 on 7 attempts? I have 100% confidence Jett can do that.
Tyus Jones or Malik Monk yes.
No, to the Atlanta guards.
I'd also love Nic Claxton as an athletic rim running, rim protector. That move would also move Wendell to the backup and make Mo the 3rd big.
If we anticipate Tyus Jones as the next vanleet or even Brunson then yes sign him. Otherwise whats the point?
I don’t think P George or K Thompson would be a good fit. We have core players in those positions. Sacramento is not feeling great about the threat of us taking M Monk. I think that’s our starting PG next to Suggs. Cole backing him up
I really want to see Cole improve on his shot making ability & consistency, and stop fouling nearly every time after you make a bucket! Drives me crazy!
Trade Wendell and 2025 first rd pick to the Bulls for Coby White then with the #18 pick draft Kyle Filipowski
Has anyone ever asked ANTHONY PARKER our GM what he thinks we should do lol?
He literally says the same things Jeff Weltman does 😂 a true prodigy
Magic should draft a point guard that already showing they can pull and shoot the 3 at a high rate already and play some defense from college it’s cheaper than free agent.
Like who? There aren’t loads of those that are falling where we are drafting haha.
@@assis2100 it can a player that people over look them gems in the draft. It don’t have to be star college player but someone that shows he has the abilities to do that maybe 2 or 3 year college player which should have the age to blend in with team now
@@DinoBlaxx I don’t mean to be rude, but I’m sure the scouts are looking at every option available. I really like Ajay Mitchell. He’s not a projected first rd pick, but he has a lot of the tools that would help elevate the Magic.
This is backwards thinking. The time is now for this team to push the chip in trying to win it all. They need a proven scoring Guard that mean they need to signed one or trade for one. By drafting a Guard at #18 you never know what you get it will set them back a few year. They drafted AB in top 10 last year look what happen
@@assis2100 I don’t think you was being rude. We just talking about sports so it’s good to see what someone else think like you said about that player now I get to look at his highlights and see if he would be a fit thank for sharing.
Melo?
Personally, I am avoiding players with long injury history. I kind of feel like LaMelo plays at a faster pace than Paolo prefers.
Is a potential Wendell Carter + Joe Ingles etc. for Dejounte Murray out of the question?
Are u serious? You really think ATL will take your offer. smh
I would love to have Murray but he would cost a lot more than Carter & sleepy Joe.
@@r.hawk7292 Just gauging interest. After actually WATCHING the video I realized that perhaps Bogdanovic might be a better trade piece for Wendell. Either way I believe Carter is exactly the type of versatile big that Trae would thrive with after playing with unskilled, paint clogging, hustle guys like Capela and Okongwu for his entire career. We'd start him at the 4 to give us a much bigger frontline of Clint, Wendell and Jalen Johnson and all are good defenders.
@@r.hawk7292 Murray's very good but he is of little help to Trae Young since they essentially play the same position. ATL made a dumb trade for the wrong player. Wendell is the right player to unlock the Hawks frontcourt redundancy. He actually has a skill set.
@@r.hawk7292 Seeing the weak offers that the Lakers, Spurs and others have put up and just how many teams are in cap hell the Hawks won't get many chances to actually change the structure of the team in a Murray trade. We can't get the big fish like AD, Towns, Giannis, etc. and we stood by and watched as players that we COULD have gotten were traded elsewhere like Lauri, Randle, Porzingis, Sabonis... Fit is more important than the names. Just look at Aaron Gordon in Denver.
Love the show, keep us entertained all summer please lol
