Moving Forward
I was not going to write this, I was going to wait for a few weeks, but after reading the fans posts, which some are way better than these click bait articles by journalists that might as well be FOX news or CNN, just sensationalists, trying to advance their career, see Anthony Irwin, or are just plain dumb, see Anthony Irwin. They are a bunch of little gossip hounds. Chesmosas
Sixteen games to go, and well, the tank is on. And I'm loving it! Go Mo! Mo is proving himself worthy of the pick and maybe he is why we traded ZU, he is our young center of the future.
I'll say it, Alex Caruso is better than Rondo. And way more fun to watch. Or at least equal to. Why oh why was he not used earlier in the year when Lonzo first hurt, or when Rondo went out.
We want Bonga! This kid is built like Ingram but not as skinny. He is not as talented as BI but still plenty talented and he look so big on the court. We want Bonga!
Jonathan Williams was good earlier in the year. He is not good for other teams that have a big big man, but for the middle sized bigs, he is fine. And he brings energy which translates in to defense. For the last few years I have been preaching defense is half the game on this website and so few have seemed to understand until Lonzo went down. Now we see the reality.
Of course I'm mad still about losing Randle and Lopez and ZU but I'm moving on. Lets move on. This year is over. If we can lose 14 or the next 16, then we should be in the top ten, maybe land a top four pick.
BI is not getting traded.
So top ten free agents
1. KD, 2. Kwahi, 3. Kyrie, 4. Klay, 5. Jimmy, 6. Kemba, 7. Tobias, 8. KP, 9. Boogie, 10. Horford
Others
Middleton, Vucevic, DLO, Randle, Jordan, Gasol
First off which of these guys are max guys? 1-5?
Which of these guys will be avaliabe? Not Kwahi, Klay, KP, Middleton, or DLO; these guys will stay with the team with are with
KD probably going to NYC. LA 2nd choice
Kyrie 40% 30% 30% NYC-LA-Bos
Jimmy & Tobias- Philly is only gonna keep one of these guys. If I'm Philly I keep Tobias which leaves Jimmy as a legit option
Kemba- Unless we get AD through trade I don't take Kemba
Boogie-Pass
Horford- Boston should work to keep him, will probably be less than max.
Vucevic- This is my guy!!!! Please Magic, if you don't get KD or Kyrie, or Jimmy; Vucevic is our guy! Please! $25 million a year gets this done.
Randle probably wants nothing to do with Magic, to much is made by dramaqueens (see above) about the agent thing, no its Magic not showing Randle respect he deserves.
Jordan and Gasol are past their primes, put those guys on contenders.
AD TRADE
This is still a possibility. But it needs to be done silently.
KUZ, LONZO, HART, MO & FIRST ROUNDER GETS IT DONE!
Boston is not going to be able to include Horford so Tatum, Brown, Smart, Rossier,and picks? What? Tatum is very good (BI is better & Kuz is just a little below) but of the rest, the picks are the best thing they have to offer and we will have a better pick to offer so...
If we don't get him, we sign Vucevic and some real good strong role players. Rough necks, like, Evans or and I hate to say it, Beverly, or Scott from the Clips. Some shooters, Korver? Anyone? Resign Bullock, work with Mo. And if they don't trade AD maybe trade deadline deal, this time we offer Vucevic straight up. Get this done Magic! If they hold on until the bitter end or he is a one year rental, we sign AD as a free agent, we can always trade someone to free up money if need be, could we trade Vucevic and say three first rounders to a team like the Nets and then sign AD and have all those picks?
Without AD we have
Lonzo-Kyrie comes or Kemba if we get AD No more Ball or Kuz
BI
Bullock
Lebron
Vucevic-of course put AD here if we can
Bench
Maybe Rondo if he will take vets min? Or new rough neck FA pick up type
Hart
Kuz-Kuz is bench scorer, this guy is a gun, lets not forget LO was our third best player in those years
Mo
McGee-resign this guy, good back up to vets min
Third String
Caruso, and keep use him more
2nd rounder-shooter type
Bonga
FA Shooter-Korver? If Korver he would be 2nd team and Mo would drop here
J Williams
Yes I will re sign both Rondo and McGee to veterans minimum deals.
IDK but Magic and Rob or no Rob need to change what they did this year with roster construct
