pels may be back in the wemby sweepstakes.

The Magic play so much more organized when Fultz out there, glad to have him back

I love it, and Boston dropped this one too

When the Magic have everyone healthy there are much worse 8-9 man rotations around the league.

Nice.

I am going to use this as an opportunity to announce that I am adopting the Magics as my East team this year. They're getting to the play-in.

This hot take was looking pretty cold for a while, but might still have some life…barely.

Jumping the Wiz and Bulls is one thing, but then also catching any of Indiana, Atlanta and Toronto is quite another

Been seeing a lot of bandwagon magic and kings fans all of a sudden. Yall wasn't with me shooting in the gym (yall wasn't with me shooting in the gym)

 

[Mister Meaner]

Indy is a really good squad. They may even be 1 piece & some szning away from serious contention. Hali & Mathurin are the backcourt of that future. Solid.

No way am I giving up Turner & Hield w/o some major return in draft capital and/or young talent.

 

[ill steelo]

Van Vleet & every single Raptor off the bench so far have had a terrible start defensively

Zero communication, guys dying on picks, two men going with the ball repeatedly, etc.

 

[ill steelo]

It’s complicated since neither guy has a large tank at this point, but Kerr should try to stagger Dray & Looney.

To go along with staggering Poole & Klay like he’s been doing.

Leaves you with someone both on the perimeter and in the paint on the court at all times who thoroughly understands the system.

Aight. I'm on that 'we'll see' action for the rest of 22 and already confirmed for 23.

Nobody's giving that up for Turner/hield and they're gonna leave for nothing anyway

 

[B Sox]

Would be shocked if Hield wasn’t traded at/before the deadline. They have a lot of depth at that position.

Don’ t think they are going to trade Turner though and I’m not really sure why he’d leave at this point now that Sabonis is gone. None of the good teams have cap space and he fits the team pretty perfectly. He’s still only 26 too so it works timeline-wise.
