Random Thoughts On The Orlando Magic



The Magic are on fire!!!!!! They are playing at a really high level and the proof is in a five game winning streak heading into the All Star break.
So I have a routine were I watch the highlights when I get home at night. I watch the long highlight package that is like 10 minutes long, watching tonight I kept having these random thoughts that were all really great Magic topics/points of conversation. So here goes.....

The magic can realistically overtake the Nets as the 6th seed. Not the 76ers in the 5 spot though, no catching them!

The Magic were 5-12 in the 30 days leading up to the trade deadline, I wonder how much the trade rumors affected team/ player moral/chemistry

The schedule to finish the season looks forgiving with games against teams like Cleveland, New Orleans, NY Knicks, Memphis, Washington, Atlanta just to name a few

This team is a PG away from competing for a deep playoff run. Omg how far would this team go with a player like Kemba Walker?

Maybe this crushing defeat of Charlotte it's kinda a job interview with Kemba for us!

What will it cost to resign Vooch and Ross?

No way we would be able to keep them both for a reasonable price that doesn't handcuff the team from adding additional talent to improve the team?

Would Vooch sign a salary declining deal like Gordon?

What was the motive of the Front office with Aaron Gordon"s contract? Was to to utilize the cap space by front loading? Was it to make his contract look more attractive as a trade asset, maybe a little of both?

Wow It looks like we found a player in Johnathan Issac! If he can become a high percentage 3 point shooter and consistently give us over 20 points a night while providing his amazing defense he is a super valuable asset

Hope Bamba isn't a bust

Cody Zeller is really bald

I'm guessing 4 years 80-90 million for Vooch, 4 years 60-70 million for Ross! Those numbers scare me

Love the Briscoe contract, we have him for the next 2 seasons as a 2nd/3rd string PG for 1 million a year

Khem Birch is earning himself a job in the league next season

Coach Clifford has a method to his madness with Ross and his role, he gets to dominate the ball/ shots with the 2nd unit. It's working really well. The starters have a spread the floor/pick n pop led by vooch, Ross is just coming off screens for shots, using drives, pull ups, spot ups

Could we be any happier with what we are getting from DJ Augestine for 4 years 30 million

Rob Hennigan you did do some good things here, I think you get a bad rap! I think Alex Martins pressured you to break formation on are own version of the Orlando Magic trust the process

Speaking of trust the process, If I am New Orleans ownership I'm finding out where Sam Hinkie lives visiting him daily telling his wife how nice the private schools are in New Orleans

Damm Vooch is like Jokic level passer with a better shot

Would we want to flip the Mozgov contract at the draft and take back salary, Mike Conley 2 years 67 million owed, Jrue holiday with 2 years 52 million with a player option for a third year? Probably not, probably patience is better, why make a bad situation worse. IDK If you think about taking mozgovs dead money off what is owed for two years of Conley it's only 50 million for 2 seaons, hmmmmm

How cool would it be if Fultz played towards the end and actually gave us something in the way of positive production and we ended up having a showdown with Phiily

Well I think this is getting long, so in the words of Forrest Gump that's all I have to say about that...
