2023-24 Orlando Magic Thread

Maybe Harris will get going now. He has been alright, but hasn't improved as much as I had hoped. Ironically, he just signed a huge contract before this season. Hopefully this provided more minutes to Hezonja.

I think it's a decent trade for Magic. Gives them a lot of flexibility going forward plus they need to get Hezonja on the floor - who I think fits better. You're right - I thought Tobias will explode this season but it just hasn't happened.

If Jennings can get back to how he has played 99% of his career and Ilyasova can remain roughly the same and provide depth off the bench, I may be fine with this move. We'll see. Sucks because Harris was one of my favorite players on the team.

There are a lot of IFs to it currently. As we sit right now, I'd give the edge to the Pistons because they just picked up a 23 year old forward who is under contract for a while. Some are saying Jennings could come in and be STARTING (over Payton) and maybe get back into the groove he was before when he played a little more. Jennings has played 23 games this year and started 1. Also the #5 overall pick gets slotted in to pick up more minutes at SF. Mario has played well lately when given the opportunity.

But yeah, Tobias has took a step back a bit this year, but I'm still a huge fan. I think the minutes given to Fournier has had something to do with that (they've used him at SF a lot), so we'll see.

Regarding his looming trade to Detroit, Tobias Harris tells ESPN's Chris Broussard: "I'm ready to make the playoffs."

Shots fired

Obviously he didn't get the message from this thread that the Magic would be the 5 seed.
