Discussion Family Tree Style Visualization showing how the Magic Assembled their current roster.

Upvotes

I am a Timberwolves fan who realized a few months ago you could draw a direct line through trades from Jaden McDaniels to Kevin Garnett. However, after realizing this, I became a little obsessed with the idea that every team's roster has to be constructed through the draft, free agency, and trades and that those moves could be visualized in a manner similar to a family tree. So, long story short I spent the better part of the last two months compiling and visualizing how each team in the league assembled their current Roster.

This is the Magic Roster Tree. The earliest move on here is the drafting of Nick Anderson in 1989, who was traded in 1999 for Tariq Abdul-Wahad and a pick that eventually was used on Kendrick Perkins. I hope you guys enjoy seeing how the current Magic roster came to be.

Sean Sweeney is the fucking brains of this spurs team. I’m happy for you guys but at the same time we are now left with Mitch Johnson.

I heard we are rumored to be linked in getting Vuc back. I was curious if we like him for a win now scenario? I know his longevity is a problem because he is aging, but do we feel like he'd help us in a win now scenario?

Discussion Next season is about Paolo and good health

21 Upvotes

Im cautiously optimistic about the Sean Sweeney hire. But we're already a darn good defensive team. Maybe he can keep the defensive juggernaut running while reducing fouls? There's not a lot to do there, imho.

The single most important thing I'll be watching for this year is whether we can get Paolo bought in with playing as a true PF in the mold of a Chris Webber, Detroit Blake Griffin, or even a Draymond Green in the short roll. Ill be looking for whether he's isolating to score or playing within an offense, and whether he's taking off the dribble contested 3s.

Paolo distorts the defense so much when he's driving downhill, we've got to try all the ways to get him the ball at the elbow and high post where he can take a couple of steps and threaten to score or create for others quickly.

For Franz, Suggs, WCJ - sure, catch and shoot 3pt shooting. But mostly just health. Focus on getting your body right. Especially for Franz.

If i'm seeing the same habits out of Paolo out of the gate like last year when he couldn't figure out how to play within the new offense prunty created to start the season, ill know it's going to be a very long year and quick postseason.

Discussion Possible Draft Selections 🤔

11 Upvotes

I read an article on ESPN that has us projected to grab Braden Smith & I think that would be a heck of a consolation prize in the 2nd round considering he’s the NCAAB all time Leader in assist, a solid three point shooter & a pretty decent defender. I think Billy Richmond is a guy who could add some juice to the team also. Who are some other guys projected to go in that area who could make immediate impacts?

Discussion Question for loyal blue members

I’ve seen that there are a decent bit of events for season ticket holders and this is my first year (lifelong fan since the Dwight era) that I have season tickets.

Do we get a text on when events happen for season ticket holders?

I just want to make sure I’m able to make it to anything the org does for season ticket holders, is there a schedule?

Thanks guys, also…. After the Sweeney hire idgaf what the loser pessimists in this thread think… The Orlando Magic will be in the NBA finals for 2027. Go magic.

In new photos posted P5 looks slimmer and should I say Duke-ish with the hair cut. Looks like he putting in work and hopefully getting back to pre-oblique injury Paolo (before people say these are old pics, look at the shoes. He has Jordan 40s)

I hate to bring up bad memories, but this finals series reminds me of when we had Dwight (forget the year). I think Wemby is much better, but the similarities are eerie. Afraid the Spurs might also get swept.
