I love this podcast gentlemen, thank you!!

[@tykemorris]

KCP is a great fit and a clear upgrade to our lineup, so there is no use crying about any fish that got away. Likewise, for worrying about which lesser player loses playing time.

[@lincolnliking]

If your number 6 pic and your number 11 pick cannot get minutes over Gary Harris it means your front office wated draft picks. Every game they don't play they are depreciating assets. If I'm AB's agent im requesting a trade ASAP to save his career.😂

[@otownmusic2409]

Suggs is not a PG.
They left San Antonio steal Chris Paul.

[@Ellisdurell]

I don’t think he’s a lead guard but he’s serviceable just like Jamal Murray and all the other wings who play the point.

[@barclaysands5302]

Set ourselves up in the trade market to bring in a game changer. Free agent market sucked this year. Our guys are better than what is out there now.

[@user-ud8qb9ey1w]

To the people who say Jalen Suggs is not a Point Guard(he only played QB and FS…the PG like positions on offense and defense in football respectively) I would highly recommend go back and read all the predraft information and analysis of Jalen Suggs. Some of the player comps: Jason Kidd(more that he can make the electric pass, plus his athleticism in the open court, basketball IQ and defense, I don’t think he will be Jason Kidd…but you never know), Jamal Murray, Jrue Holiday, and Chauncey Billups. I believe worst case scenario was Eric Bledsoe?
If you compare his start to Chauncey’s start, very similar stats. I just believe people are impatient. We are not going to win the title this year. Or next year. Or the year after. It takes a while to build these things. However, the Magic will still be winning a lot of games and building towards something. Everyone just breathe.

[@Ellisdurell]

Why does everyone in magic nation think Franz can run the point. He’s 7’ and don’t play like a guard. Give it a rest already.

[@nnam2397]

Paolo is the primary decision maker of the team we don’t need a point

[@Adizzle321]

No problems this off-season except everyone is thinking it.. Gary Harris? Why????

[@kranberryxox]

Because he knows the system. He knows the expectations of coach. He can knock down the three at a above avg clip and he has decent defense. Yea we signed him back.

[@justinmuzzy4500]

I can answer why... because if he was a free agent coming from another team, he would be a prime target for us anyway because of his size and defense... plus he can hit 3s, the continuity and he can help the young ones improve

Trade chip

[@MervinJavierOnline]

Wish the Magic would ✍️ Buddy Hield

[@mr2firstnames]

Harris will be gone by the trade deadline. His deal screams “trade piece” to use later this season, Jett should be ready to take those backup minutes.

[@lincolnliking]

I'm laughing because I hear this every year 😂

[@danielhicks4040]

Guys stop with Fultz. We’ve already answered these questions

[@Luckycole187]

Darius garland and Allen for Wendell and the others or get ice trey

[@robertmunizmuniz9157]

I think we can play 4 shooters with P5 at Center. Something that Stan Vangundy try in 2008.

[@Ellisdurell]

Team USA used him at the 5. I don’t see why we never do it. Cole, Jett, Caleb, Franz, P5 lineup for 5 mins a night would be something to see

[@robertmunizmuniz9157]

That will be a very good line up for small ball.

[@DinoBlaxx]

I would bring bol bol back if I was the magic.

[@davidcarlos4350]

Please no fultz. Anthony my brother… he never Healthy and im a Markelle guy!

[@goldenRobot712]

Magic should’ve traded for rob dillingham

[@Ellisdurell]

Now you’re speaking my language. I like a lot of the guys who came from OTE.

[@xavierstroud5117]

Harris was bad would love a real pg n bring back vucvic

[@MervinJavierOnline]

Orlando Magic = Epitome of Mediocrity 🤷🏻‍♂️
