"Orlando should have picked Exum."

[Jameerthefear]

Why do people say this? People who haven't watched a single clip of him. People who know nothing but his wingspan and height. While Hennigan and his crew scouted him more than any other team did in the draft. GMs said that he was hiding his shot in workouts, he was a little overhyped, etc. But somehow people think they know more than the guy who scouted him. Based on... nothing. I've never seen a guy hyped so much based off of games against scrubs. Hilarious. I never wanted Exum. :oldlol:

Well, Orlando's definitely not going to be boring to watch, we know that much...but for which reasons is what we don't know yet. They're building a core group of guys that genuinely want to be there.

http://i.cdn.turner.com/drp/nba/magic/sites/default/files/styles/main_gallery_photo__480_tall/public/comboshots1_1000_062814.jpg

Oladipo will be even better his second year...you know he's going to improve every year for at least 3-5 years before he plateaus or takes another leap.

I think the x-factor for them coming into next season is Tobias Harris. How much better will he be? It's technically going to be his 4th season but he's only really played 2 full NBA season's worth of games so far. This needs to be his breakout year where he scores 20ppg or I think they need to move him. I think he can do it when healthy...he averaged 17ppg in his first 30 or so games for ORL.

I think Exum could be good but I don't think the Magic wanted to hand the keys to an 18 year old straight out of Australian HS...they just don't have that luxury like Utah does where he can come in under Trey Burke.

Gordon is 18 but you can drop him into just about any team and he'll be effective right away just playing off instincts/speed/athleticism/defense.

Payton started school early so he has 3 full years of college under his belt AND he's still only 20 years old.

I just hope Orlando has one hell of a shooting coach. If they can get these new guys to improve on their shots even a little bit and they can keep the turnovers under control, they're going to be fun to watch.

Only thing that worries me about Payton is that he HAS had 3 years of college and his jumper is still so poor. Oladipo will make a big leap I feel. Especially switching to his natural position. Tobias is... not sure. I feel like he can be an allstar but he still has to work a lot. I don't know if his work ethic is the same as Oladipo's. Like you said on the break they are going to be VERY fun to watch. Lotta oops hopefully. So excited for Orlando Pro Summer League.

[outbreak]

Eh I'm not happy we passed on Exum but at the end of the day and after evaluating it more I don't think our picks are a big disaster or anything. I don't see Gordon or Payton being star players but they have every chance to be great contributing guys and if they pan out at least a little they should both be above average defenders for sure.

payton
oladipo
harkless
gordon
vucevic

gives us a great defensive core to build off (even if they can't shoot it's not as if this line up has to be set in stone or that we will be trying to contend with it) and supposedly they are all extremely team orientated and grounded which is actually one of the things hennigan said he would be looking for when he was fired hired. They all held themselves as good as any young kid has in the press conferences and all said the right things.

Our issue is still that we have no scorer at all, no one on our roster has the potential to be a go to guy on a nightly basis.

I think the big negative reaction is more to do with the fact we really need a face for this team and Exum had the potential to be that face, in basketball terms if we ignore the hype while I still think Exum will be a far better player down the road and I still wish we had him Gordon won't be a bust pick either.

I think orlando are playing for a longer tank than people have expected, I guess I don't mind this too much as I am of the belief that if you rush the job you end up mediocre and just destined for another tank after a couple years of first round exits.

I also think these picks leave us with a young core of assets where no body is untouchable any more, if we do have the opportunity to make a trade at some point we have a lot of flexibility in cap room and also in young players that can contribute right away on a team trying to contend with their defence and effort while not requiring the ball in their hands to get a few points.

I can't understate how dissapointed I imagine all orlando fans felt when we passed on Exum but I don't think it's doom and gloom and I don't think we took busts just took safer picks who don't have the potential the fans were thinking we would be targeting.

2017 first round draft pick from Philadelphia
Philadelphia's 1st round pick to Orlando protected for selections 1-11 in 2017 or 1-8 in 2018; if Philadelphia has not conveyed a 1st round pick to Orlando by 2018, then Philadelphia will instead convey its 2018 2nd round pick and 2019 2nd round pick to Orlando
I don't see Philly making the playoffs anytime soon.

I highly doubt Philly isn't a playoff team, or at least out of the bottom 8, by 2018. It's distant but that's very likely a 1st.

And plus we didn't lose our first rounder, we gave them back theirs.

I don't think they wanted to build around Exum/Oladipo

similar to them not wanting the 2 guard position to be stacked with 2 not combo guards.



sure, in retrorespect this may turn out to be the wrong choice.

maybe.

but if the Magic makes the playoff this year based off of how they retool with the rest of the offseason.

they certainly get a free pass.


may be acceptable if they end up signing Bledsoe/Collison and ends up 9/10th

Jameer still making a fool of himself :lol
Defending a GM that fu*ked up #4,#12 and an afflalo trade!!

From Zach Lowe about the Afflalo trade:


It’s absolutely fair to wonder if Orlando might have gotten a first-round pick for Afflalo had it searched out other deals or waited for Afflalo to become a hotter commodity among teams that strike out on free agency’s biggest fish. But by all accounts from sources around the league, the Magic did scour the market properly and even found offers that would have returned a future first-rounder for Afflalo. They may have simply liked Evan Fournier that much, valuing his immediate production above what they might have nabbed from a younger guy a draft or two down the line.

The Magic have enough rookies. Fournier has an interesting skill set, he can shoot 3s, and he’ll get the consistent rotation spot in Orlando he could never nail down on Denver’s deeper roster. The Nuggets also had a trade exception to absorb Afflalo’s salary, meaning they didn’t have to send any matching money back to Orlando — a key consideration for a Magic team hoarding cap space like a squirrel in winter. The Magic already had avenues to max-level cap room, but more is always better. You never know what opportunities might come up, and they may want to guarantee the full amount of Jameer Nelson’s contract to retain his locker-room leadership.

Understand: The only teams dying to get Afflalo are contenders and those determined to make the postseason. Most of those teams are capped out, meaning they’d have to send some unpleasant salary back Orlando’s way. Denver was the exception.

And veterans on expiring contracts just haven’t carried much market value in terms of luring first-round picks in return. Afflalo is a nice player, but he’s a bit overrated, especially as a defender, and he can walk after next season. Look back at all the deals since the lockout in which teams have surrendered a future first-rounder, and you’ll find very few in which a team sent out a player on an expiring deal and received a first-round pick in return.

The two deals that match that model involve big men (Omer Asik to New Orleans, Marcin Gortat to Washington) who were flipped to playoffs-or-bust teams in desperate need of a center. Big men are always going to be more valuable than wings on the league’s talent totem pole. Teams have had better luck acquiring first-rounders by swallowing unwanted salary — Charlotte in the Ben Gordon deal, Utah last summer, Cleveland for taking on Marreese Speights, Phoenix for doing the Wolves a solid with Wesley Johnson, etc.

The Magic went through this two seasons ago, when they couldn’t find a first-rounder for J.J. Redick’s expiring contract. A first-rounder for Afflalo would have been a clear win.

That said, they could have gotten that win, and opted against it. This is a bet on Fournier. Let’s see how it works.

I'm not going to pretend like I've watched a bunch of Fournier but if this was Henny's thought process about the trade, I can get behind it. Just going to have to wait and see.

This was expected anyway. Even if they traded for the #1 pick and took Wiggins.

This is what happens when you like your young talent and you don't feel like spending money at the moment.


At least Jameer won't be walking around telling people they can't talk to him until they have more accolades

You still lost a first rounder idiot

[Koresh]

Why do people say this? People who haven't watched a single clip of him. People who know nothing but his wingspan and height. While Hennigan and his crew scouted him more than any other team did in the draft. GMs said that he was hiding his shot in workouts, he was a little overhyped, etc. But somehow people think they know more than the guy who scouted him. Based on... nothing. I've never seen a guy hyped so much based off of games against scrubs. Hilarious. I never wanted Exum. :oldlol:

F*g, don't sit here and lie. You made a freaking scouting report on Dante Exum and you said the 3 reasons why I want the Magic to draft him and the #1 reason was because he was cute. Now you're going to sit here with a straight face and say you didn't want the Magic drafting him and he is overhyped? Go back to jacking off to Hentai, punk ass bitch.:biggums:

Google is your enemy. We have ways to finding out the truth, you fairy.

Photo evidence of you saying he had a cute voice. Photoshopped? GTFO.
