It's pretty clear that the Magic see Suggs as the starting PG. I think he earned that role with his 3PG%, second team all defense, leadership and overall improvement. Do not forget he was the top rated PG in the country as a senior in HS. In a recent interview Paolo spoke about the future and said they needed to build around him, Franz and JS. I think 1-4 are all locked in now. I see WCJ, Isaac and hopefully Moe (team friendly deal) contributing at the five barring other moves.
feel like we should keep mo
Absofuckingloutley
They are.
That mustache tho. Of course he stays. He pays rent on time.
Like the signing but we definitely need a aggressive rebounder and more of a traditional point guard
I like it, we shall see what happens next #GoMagic
Nicely done Orlando.
He is a better Gary Harris, and okays ay better defense. I like the move, the magic arent done yet we need a center and another guard. We definitely grabbing another Guard. We have 28/30 million left to spend
Why did they go away from Goga last year after he was playing so well for them?
@@johnb7053 I feel you!!! I loved having Goga, he did his job, played defense, blocked shots, and cleaned up the glass. Seeing Goga play well for this team, let me know that tyoe of architype can play well for this team. So we should get a natural shot blocker and glass cleaner. But to your point Wendell had the bigger contract and proabably was pressured into the starting line up
@@davidcarlos4350 I know he’s not as versatile as Carter and Mo but it seemed like he was phased out completely and I couldn’t find anything online about why, to me he’s a necessity if Wendell gets hurt which he does a lot Goga already proved he can step in and keep things rolling, Mo is best served as the energy guy off the bench, but neither are signed right now hopefully this doesn’t become a problem
@@johnb7053 yeah we are for sure beinging back Mo, just have to get these bigger contracts out the way
Goga was a good center hell he was doing a better job of being a center than Wendell Carter Jr
Blink if you’re ok lol
They need to go after a point guard
you cannot split up the WAGNER BROS!!!!
I cannot WAIT to see KCP & Suggs begin their reign of domination on that court this season!!!
W move
The Magic need scoring help and they go signed a player that can’t score? Banchero said he need an offensive player to bring the ball up take pressure off him. KCP is not that player he is a slightly better version of Garry Harris this is a dumb signed. The Magic FO management failed to get Banchero the help that he needed as a day1 Magic fan I don’t blame him if he leave
I agree with you this was a dumb signing and we should have gotten more talent on the team all we are doing now is running the same team back again which lets me know that we aren't going to get very far and another thing it tells me that we are going to get bounced out in the first round again
I don't blame him if he leaves as well this is one of the reasons why Dwight Howard left because he didn't have help
The magic don't want to win now it's so clear because if you are going to sign players like KCP which has been bouncing from team to team and only scores 10 PPG than we aren't looking to win now honestly we are looking to win later and let's not forget that we pretty much resigned everyone again so we really didn't get any better at all this free agency was boring and garbage I mean why am I not surprised we never do anything it's always the same thing every year it's so evident that we don't want to win and if we do win we will probably make it to the second round but that's it we would literally be another Cleveland where we would face the Celtics and lose in the second round.
🥱
feel like we should keep mo
We got our guy!!!! I really wanted Paul George as a mentor to Paolo, but as a player, I wanted KCP so much more.
What I mean is, due to George's inconsistency to be healthy, I would rather have KCP.
That and he's just a bit younger.
they just resigned Gary Harris and Goga, thoughts?
I hope we can win with this team
I RATE HIS NAME 10 out of 10!
I'm sure KCP will make the Magic a better team, but 66 million for 10ppg is crazy.
I get it but he was the starting SG on 2 NBA championship squads. His value is worth the $ considering there are players getting paid significantly more yet providing much less than KCP
With teammates of Jokic, MPJ, Murray and Gordon?
@@samzoffthewall Is he bringing them with him?
@@MrAmbition2 He's also 31 years old, and his best days are most likely behind him.
@@michaelvittori8525 lol I mean that’s pretty obvious considering the length of his contract. But he’s still more serviceable than more than half the guards in the league!
I still think Tyus Jones would be a great fit. We need to cut down our turnovers. Less turnovers = better defensive outcomes. That negates his defensive shortcomings.
So much for klay Thompson coming to the magic ive realized that when they're is videos of a player coming to Orlando its actually not true i mean they literally made so many videos of klay coming here but i had a feeling he wasn't going to sign with us the hype wasn't real also they really should trade or sign other players because KCP isnt the answer to our problems we need to actually surround Paolo and franz with help because out of those two besides jalen suggs we need more talent
This signing alone can catapult the magic deep into the playoff with the chance of winning it; However Tristan De Silva will also play a good role coming off the bench.
You never know, he might have a couple of more years. All you needed is to be a thread.
hopefully he has no problem coming of the bench if we sign a real point guard
MAGIC should have gone after Mark Edey. Magic need a rebounder and rim protector. In the first half of a playoff game against Cleveland last year, Cleveland scored 40 of 46 points in the paint.Edey stops ALL that.
😢
Paul George hasn’t won shit so happy we didn’t drop money on him. KCP is a great FA pick and fit for us. Perfect fit. We need to resign Mo Wagner since Hartenstien got picked up by OKC. We need one more shooter and we’re good.
Good against who? Because Kcp was extremely overpayed
B-
Wasn’t Gary Harris doing the same thing this guys gonna do?
On the defensive end, I don’t believe so…also Harris doesn’t bring the leadership & clutch pedigree KCP offers, a guy who knows what it takes to win in this league.
@MrAmbition2 he wasn't even a top 5 player on the teams he won with
@@Brian00007 he didn’t have to be, what’s your point?
@@MrAmbition2 my point is you're hyping him up like he's the reason why his teams won
@@Brian00007 lol what? 😂 I never said he was Steph or Lebron caliber… if that’s the way you took it but you can’t deny the importance of his role on those teams
I still need a thread 😪, Klay Thomson. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The people who want klay stuck in the past sadly
Klay isn’t worth the money imo. He’s an aging player who’s already shown he’s on the decline, and his days as a star are likely behind him. I like signing KCP because not only does it give us a good shooter and defender, it also allows us flexibility to sign another player such as IHart.
Facts he's not the same player anymore he's washed up and old
Agreed Klay would of brought a lot of buzz only to be mostly a disappointment who costs a lot more, while everyone is talking about the Knicks and Philly I think Magic are the team Celtics need to watch out for
thread
If Barbie lived in ancient Rome would "Kentravious" be her boyfriend?
I was wondering where you were going with that! Nailed it! 😂
Ermm it’s called X not “twitter”
It’s Twitter
@@thebrettjames1 Ik im just joking around and being annoying
Another thing to mention he's not worth $66 million dollars more $10 or $20 or $30 Million and he shouldn't have a 3 year deal maybe like a 1 year deal let's not forget he's actually an inconsistent 3-point shooter listen I'm sorry but this was a bad signing we need players who are going to make us better not keep us at the same level this was an awful signing
41% from behind the arc is inconsistent? I agree it's a bit of an overpay.. but let's at least be realistic here.
1.6 makes a game Garry Harris 1.4 in seven less minutes. He's not a shooter frfr @@saintlex32
Up yours
This was a terrible signing I don't understand why we are afraid to get actual talent instead we decide to get garbage on our team we never try to get players that can actually help us get to the next level what is this guy going to do for us it's not like we got any better
KCP will make this team better and will allow Orlando to keep their core together. There is no way you could have signed PG for as much as he wanted, given Franz a max or near max deal, Paolo a max deal, and sign Suggs to a big extension. Not with the new CBA. So it was either PG or the young core. I rather keep our guys.
Horrible take. KCP is one of the best 3&D players in the league and has won multiple times. You’re getting basically the best upgrade for Harris and Ingles. C’mon now guy
@@Wetheohyou are right he is an upgrade from Gary garbage Harris but still he needs to prove himself I've watched this guy play and he didn't do so well with the Lakers or any other team but he did do ok with the nuggets
@@mannymac82yes I agree we should keep our guys but he's not worth $66 mill and he's very inconsistent from the 3 point line he literally reminds of Jr Smith or Terrence Ross when he was still playing
We should have given him at least a 1 or 2 year deal not 3 year's
